Heart Game: Intensity (Turn 2)
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.

Treat that console with care.
This is your last warning.
no subject
Wooooah! Wait, hey! I don't need the console if you're here! C'mon, c'mon, what's wrong with Intensity? You're guarding him, right?
no subject
His system is rebooting. And yes, it is my responsibility to make sure the reboot completes successfully.
no subject
So basically it's like he's dragging his feet to getting to take a swig of his morning coffee? I thought he did something stupid like separate himself from his physical form in order to be everywhere all the time because it's more efficient, his well being and happiness be damned.

Like the tired protector dragon she is. ]
There's no guarantee that those two things are mutually exclusive, you know.
no subject
Neeheehee! Of course I do. And you'll be loyal to him no matter what though, right?
But tell me--I'm here cuz he asked me to come here, after all. Do you think he's been pushing himself too hard?
no subject
He asked you to come here because you are the best at what you do. Or am I mistaken?
no subject
Y'know?

In that case, I'll help him the best way I know how.
