Heart Game: Intensity (Turn 2)

[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.

[ it is weird to stare at yourself, but fortunately he's so busy staring at the other person that it's not even an issue. ]

Ri... zu...

[liarliarliar]

[oh no

this is a touching moment

but IM here]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ A tiny 10 year old Intensity tugs on B's sleeve. He is lugging around a half-finished puzzle. ] You made it.

[liarliarliar]

Hey.

[stoops down]

Did you call for me?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yeah! I wanted to know if I got it right.

[liarliarliar]

Got what right?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ For a brief moment, he looks like the older grumpy Intensity you know and love(?) ] Your retirement package.

[liarliarliar]

Of course you did.

Perfect as a dream. I love that life you gave me.

You listen to me, you know me. You couldn't have gotten it wrong.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ glances over when he finally realizes there are other people in the room, though apparently he is SO SHOOK that he doesn't even make an effort to get his shit together and look cool in front of B before his sister comes and hugs him. ]

[liarliarliar]

[taking pictures and will just send him the pics yep

this is something you cant really get any time soon after all]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ YOU'RE A GOOD KID, B ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ TIME TO GIVE MY BROTHER A HUG! ]

[liarliarliar]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ IMMEDIATELY HUGGING HER BACK SUPER TIGHT

OF COURSE!! ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ OF COURSE!! Good luck prying them apart with a crowbar ]]

I missed you.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ pulling back just enough that they can talk face-to-face, but not letting go of her. ]

Hah... I missed you. I'm always missing something without you—but you already know that.

So this is where you've been, huh?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh yeah! Sometimes we hang out with the others in the common room, but it's a little crowded in there, you know. [ And leans in to whisper (as if in secret) ] And you like to pull the lever on the snake pit.

[carnivorouscarnival]

Pff—

[ and he tips back his head with hearty laughter, the likes of which hasn't been heard from him in the past week. ]

—gyahahaha! I would, wouldn't it?! Good, good! I'm glad Intensity found just the right job for me!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Your other sister is in the door, too, you know. Did you see her?

[rollplayinghouse]

[Glory emerges from the elevator sometime mid-hug.]

...Ah. Hey.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ by now he has recovered enough presence of mind that he actually notices when she comes in and glances over. he does not try to detach himself from his sister yet, though. ]

Ah, Glory—this is the real you, right? Where the hell are you all coming from...?

[rollplayinghouse]

Yeah, it's the real me. And the real you, then....

It seems like there are a bunch of us here. Me and Cardigan and some new avante were with King of Hell Intensity.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ raises an eyebrow. a second Intensity? well, it is his heart, so that probably makes sense... ]

Hah, that so... Don't know how to feel about that many people running loose in here.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Mm. I'm not too worried about them, but who knows what other people could be doing.

[carnivorouscarnival]

Well.

[ jerks a thumb at the version of himself hovering by the lever. ]

That's probably what he—"I"?—is here for.
