Heart Game: Intensity (Turn 1)

[idolpro]

In the beginning, there is nothing but darkness and silence. A sleep that gives no rest but one out of necessity in order to keep functioning. Behind closed eyelids, the numbers of a clock tick down - one painstaking second at a time.

TIME UNTIL REBOOT:


And then you wake up.

As you shift to a standing position, you feel something sharp and pointed press against your side. Digging into the nearest pocket, you will find two small puzzle pieces. And from their odd shape, it looks like they would fit into a 3D spherical puzzle. Odd. You've never seen them before, but you do get a sense that these are a currency of some sort. Spend them wisely!

Game start.

A reboot is the process of restarting a computer. In this instance, it is to provide regularly scheduled maintenance and upgrade the software.

So when maintenance is over the

[ ...Give him a second he has to seriously consider what the Intensity in the glass box should be referred as in this case. ]

So when maintenance is over the CPU will start up again? How will it affect the rest of the system?

[ First things first. You are hearing a metric fuckton of wind chimes right now. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The CPU will return to its normal procedures with the new software installed. Its effects depend on the updates installed.

[ Okay so first thing: He nearly jumped because it's been literal months since he's had that experience.

It's kind of weird to be hearing all this again when you didn't think it'd be something you'd miss ]

[inspiteful]

[ BUT BEFORE HE ADDRESSES THAT, ONE LAST QUESTION ]

How does one install updates?

You can edit the BIOS or change the networking protocols.

I see. Thank you.

[ ...After trying to figure out how to go back to the first menu, he select 'Networking', more out of curiosity than anything else. ]

[ Oh Eclipse knows he will never touch that 2, so he types in 1 and...goes to check Mori's profile first.

Is he nosey, yes. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ I think Mori actually lost this memory. Oops ]

       

Mori

"You're attacking someone important to me, right in front of me, and you think I'm going to stand by and watch?

Last round you said attacking us was a mistake. I don't want to hurt you, but if you intend to keep coming after people in front of me, I will stop you, no matter who you are."

Silence

"I want to win. ...but at my core, I think we should do good. Like gifting Heart Soldier Senshi. If you want.

Then let's break the pattern and help them. Spirals like that should not continue. Besides, we are doing well enough."

I kind of wonder what the conversation was about.

[ ...After a moment goes to check on Mars because Mars vs Intensity sure must have been something. ]

Mars Midboss

Fucking cracking up at the name like holy shit, that's what Intensity call him. ]

Yeah, I knew this was a good idea to look at.

"And...I don't get why some of them insist on acting as if every relationship is equally important to them, when it's clear they have priorities themselves. Or I do, I guess, but that's a good way to drive a person insane."

[ It's probably pretty telling that seeing those two dots in uneasiness made Eclipse go, "well, I'm probably doing something right then".

...Unsure how to feel about the levels in Guardian, but only because he wasn't expecting it. Technically he wasn't expecting that much in Trust either but then Intensity let him in on confidential access, so. ]

...Thanks, I guess.

[ Unfortunately, the console is not yet advanced enough to be voice activated. ]

[ He wasn't expecting anything at least! Time to go deal with a dragon lady and freak out with Mori about ghosts, ]
