Heart Game: Intensity (Turn 1)

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.

[ The wires separate from Intensity with a soft hiss, disappearing in the ground of the glass box. He blinks once, twice, three times - before pushing himself shakily to a standing position.

Congratulations. The reboot was successful.

Hope everyone is happy with all of their changes. ]

Ah! Intensity-san!

[WHY DON'T YOU HAVE EMPATHY]

[ Rubs his hands down his face. ]

What?!

...Er. Good morning.

Is it morn---

Wait... What are you doing here?

[ With a wave of his hand, the glass door on the box opens and he steps out on the walkways with the rest of them. ]

[Oh good]

It's a game. Now that you're awake, I imagine we won't be here for long.

We tried to avoid making any changes or going to deep into anything. Your secrets should be safe.

[ Wait. What now? That's a lot to lay on a guy so quickly after being rebooted. ]

[ But then he takes one look at this motley crew gathered around him.

And laughs and laughs and laughs--- ]

Of course you didn't.

Spend all the time at IntensityLand, did you?

You're supposed to be all graduated, you know.

[are you sure you're okay]

I never planned to graduate until all the work was done. And I'll still come back and visit, don't think you'll be rid of me that easily.
