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.

[ master what are you ever doing jesus christ

shaking off the memory when he can, moving to try picking up intensity's body, but

also he rolled a 2, ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ You rolled a 2.

RIP ]

[ A powerful cold gust of wind rushes down the length of the corridor, rustling the hem of the corpse's cloak and disturbing the neatly lined items on the table. The jewelry and cards fall to the floor with a deafening ting - like a pin being dropped in a silent room.

And you are filled with dread - soul crushing and hopeless as if you had just come upon a night that you knew would never end.

There is a rustle of cloth and a low wailing sound of something distinctly not human.

Before you come face to face with the face of Intensity's nightmare. ]

[sancrimony]

[ . . . aw fuck what is that

more importantly how far away is it and does it stand between me and the forward exit ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ It does stand between you and the forward exit.

But at the moment it's about 10 feet away, but it's slowly gliding toward you. ]

[sancrimony]

[ cool let's try uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

picking up the spear and hurling it at the nightmare 8Db ]

cw: gore

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ It lodges in its chest and goes clean out the back.

And yet it still advances.

(That didn't work when Intensity tried either). ]

Re: cw: gore

[sancrimony]

[ COOL we're gonna go grab and put on the day 155 ring if it's close enough to grab, also drag intensity's corpse with us ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Dragging Intensity's corpse is successful. But also when you put on the ring, you get the following vision. ]

[ There's the handle of a spear pressed against your throat and you can't breath, even as wood splinters into your palms as you try to push it away.

The person above you shushes you with kind words and a kinder expression, even as the pressure mounts. Ssshh. Ssshhh. It's okay, It's okay, It's okay.

Ssh ssh it's all gonna be fine, they can dwell in madness together, them and the others and all the ghosts in the house.

Eventually.

Everything goes dark. ]

[ This allows the nightmare to come closer. ]

[ But also you have ring sanity powers now! Enjoy! ]

[sancrimony]

[ reaching for

the volleyball

to throw it

does throwing something while having the ring on mean i attack with sanity instead ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ ABSOLUTELY! But enjoy the visions you get every time you touch an item in this room! ]

[ It's been your second duel to the death this game and you have never felt more ALIVE. Blue Eyes at your side, taking careful aim with your pistol as Man Eater's form darts between the trees.

Just as you aim it for a pistol whip -- your gun turns into a volleyball.

What. the. fuck? ]

Everything about Hell is complete and utter bullshit!

DO YOU HEAR ME, PRODUCERS!?

[ After a brief moment of shock, Man Eater smiles at you. And casts Harder They Fall. On you. ]

"--Intensity."

[ You still lose the death match. (But do you really?) ]

[ You hit the nightmare square in the face and it shrieks as it is very weak to mental attacks.

Good job, Lucifel. Good job. ]

[sancrimony]

[ FUCK YEAH

while it's stunned he's grabbing the gun, hey FUCKER are you gonna TRY THAT AGAIN

CUZ LIKE

I DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE IN MY AIM

BUT I CAN DEFINITELY HIT YOU WITH A GUN LIKE IT'S A BASEBALL BAT ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ You pick up your husband's rifle--- ]

[ This is so undignified. Being shaken like a ragdoll in the desert by Yugi of all people as he slowly zaps the life out of you bit by bit. ]

"I want to hear you say it, Intensity, tell me how you killed King!"

[ You never see the sniper or the bullet.

But you're thankful for it all the same. ]

[ And smack Intensity's nightmare senseless with it.

THIS IS THE POWER OF LOVE!

You now have an opening to get to the other door. ]

[sancrimony]

[ THIS IS THE POWER OF LOVE!!!!!

ok we're dragging intensity's corpse out of here, gun slung over lucifel's own shoulder ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ This imagery just gets better and better ]
