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.

[Hm, on the one hand why fix what ain't broke. On the other...

Well, they'll come back to this.

Curiosity momentarily sated, they turn their attention to the class box.

... Can they shadow step in to it?]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ It's line of sight, so I'm going to say YES!

They shadow step into the box with Intensity's comatose body ]

[deicider]

[HAH.

They're not sure it's wise to mess with anything here, but this is good to know. Is there anything besides wires to mess with? Handy labels?]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ There is only the chair, Intensity, and a host of wires going to his neck.

If you trace the wires back, they obviously connect to the computer outside. ]

[jokesaboutrighthands]

See if he's got the pieces.

[to cardigan in there]

[deicider]

[Hm.

Well. Cardigan kisses him on the cheek and heads for the elevator. They are going to choose the button with the hieroglyphs.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Well, in that time that this is all happening --- maybe you don't have to go to the Pharaoh's palace after all ]

[deicider]

[Delighted,]

Blue Eyes!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ She is a dragon now because reasons.

Either way she turns when she hears Cardigan and glides over to where they are ]

Commander. Nice to finally meet you in person.

[deicider]

[What sort of physical greeting does one give a dragon. Cardigan offers a hand.]

You, too. I've been curious about you for a long time.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ She noses at that hand with her snout ]

Is that so?

[ And she smiles ]

Would it be easier to discuss if I was in a human form?

[deicider]

[Cardigan strokes her snout politely.]

This is fine with me. No offense to your human form, but I see humans all the time.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Her tail curls around Cardigan's ankles and she rumbles in appreciation. ]

So.

What have you been curious about?

[deicider]

Hm... What happens if you have the most pieces, and your 'side' wins?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Blue Eyes smiles. It's all teeth. ]

He's a bit reckless, don't you think?

I'm just looking to encourage a little more, how shall we say, self-preservation.

[deicider]

I see... I'm not really suited for these games, Blue Eyes. I trust the Chief's ability to conduct himself for the optimum result.

But he did call you his soul, so I'm inclined to return a piece of yourself to you.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

All of us have our roles to play. And he - all of him - has always trusted your judgment.

So if that's what you think is best...

[deicider]

[Cardigan reaches for their piece and...]

Ugh, crap, I gave my other piece to Kou.

[How embarrassing.

#theplayerforgotthishappened]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Blue Eyes just laughs, not offended in the slightest. ]

That boy---

[ Because face it, everyone is a boy when you're thousands of years old ]

Also likes to win, doesn't he?

[deicider]

I like Kou. I think they'll be a good influence on each other.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

We'll see.

[ A bit of a tail lash. She saw that profile edit go through. ]

Either way, I'm sure they'll keep each other in line - at the very least.
