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.

I coordinate from here. When they have things to report, they come see me.

[nohalation]

...Are you having fun? Are you lonely?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Gestures for her to come closer. ]

[nohalation]

[Coming closer!!]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Of course I'm not lonely. You come to visit. My princes and minions come to visit.

Even some people who graduated to Heaven come to visit even though they shouldn't.

This is what we wanted, right?

[nohalation]

...

...

...

[She’s making a strange expression. It seems she does not know how to answer that.]

Hmm...but someone said you needed company!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh? And who said that?

[nohalation]

...





Intensity.

[Like duh.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Just.

Sighs. ]

Which one?

[nohalation]

Normal Intensity!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Is there a normal Intensity?

Sounds fake. ]

He's mistaken. I don't need company.

[nohalation]

He doesn’t lie to me so it must be the truth somehow.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Wow. Rude. You can't just checkmate the King of Hell like that! ]

Somehow.

Well if I didn't have anyone visiting, I certainly couldn't keep this place running. Could I?

[nohalation]

[Angel takes no prisoners!!!!!]

Do you get to play games with the people visiting?? Do you have fun??

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No, Angel. I don't do fun.

I do work.

[nohalation]

Oh.

...

That is what Intensity means then. That is why you are lonely.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Did you really think it was going to be any different than this?

[nohalation]

Of course. I would never leave Intensity alone just so he can work forever.

And I know he would rather do that than force someone to stay with him. He was always angry and unhappy at the idea of me sticking with him in Imeeji instead of going straight to my kingdom if I had the chance.

But I won't leave him like this. I am sure I am not the only one also.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That's not a binary choice though - one or the other.

You can still live in your Kingdom and visit here. Provided that you don't align with Heaven.

[nohalation]

But visiting must not be enough if you don’t play games anymore. Unless if I came to visit, would you play games with me?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ WELL HE CAN'T SAY NO ]

If you give me advanced warning.

[nohalation]

Advanced warning...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. Tell me when you're going to visit.

That's not too much to ask, is it?

[nohalation]

You do not do fun . . .

. . .

Are you happy?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Why wouldn't I be?

I'm in charge, the old regime is no more, and no one is allowed to hurt me and mine ever again.
