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.

[ She laughs. Oh no, Mori is cute! ] Is any person ever complete? The worst transgression in this place would be to stand still, you know. Considering who he is.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

I know he hates that... That's why I'm concerned if he can't leave this box.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

He will when the system reboots. But these things take time. I know it's--- [ And she pauses as she looks for the right word. What is the right word in this use case. ] Scary. But this is perfectly normal for him.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

. . .

If he can open this box, and leave, then, I don't think I need to interfere. A lot of things that are perfectly normal for Intensity-san are highly concerning, but even if he's reckless I know that he's strong and capable.

I'm sorry, I never introduced myself, I'm Mori. What is your name miss?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You can call me Blue Eyes. It's cute, isn't it?

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[Looks at her

Looks at the dragon icon on the screen.]

...Oh. Oh, I get it! Y-Yes, it's, cute, it's nice to meet you Blue Eyes-san.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's nice to meet you in person, too, Mori. [ She laughs. ] Finally.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[And then Eclipse mentions you're a spirit lady]

Have you been watching?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

His soul and mine are forever entwined. [ So yes. Yes she's been watching. ]

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[I knew Intensity was in love with his dragon]

And if you're who came when I asked for support... Then you must be protecting him.

I'm glad, there's someone always looking out for him.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ With a fondness one has for a misbehaving child: ] Well he certainly won't do it himself. Rest easy, Mori. If there was any danger to be had here, I would protect him.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[Mori smiles, nodding. Any dragon ladies in Intensity's heart have to be trustworthy.

Pulling out his puzzle pieces]

That's good to hear. Then, would you be able to do something good with these?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ She hesitates, looking quite surprised. But then that look of surprise fades to another warm smile and she opens her palm to accept them. ] Yes, I know just the thing.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[Putting them in her hands, she's probably better at helping Intensity than he is after all, buuuuut he knows about betrayal dangers so while he places them over her hands, he doesn't remove his just yet. Trust is being offered but cautiously, he wants to hear her plan first.]

Oh? I'll leave them in your care. Where will you put them?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ She doesn't close her hands. Not until he offers them to her completely. ] What would he call it in those gaming terms---? Two attribute points to the self-care skill tree.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

That is a skill he dearly needs to level up in.

[Gives her the pieces!!]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ She laughs. Endlessly charmed. ] Thank you, Mori. I won't let all the groundwork you put in go to waste.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

...Mm. I believe you. And I believe in him. I'll keep doing my best to look out for him from the outside too.
