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.

Don't you deserve that too? And to be with him?

1/2

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'd never leave him by himself.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

But someone has to stay.

[liarliarliar]

Why? Because that's the rules?

You're already changing a bunch of rules. Don't decide a rule can't be changed without even getting there first to see how it works!

Don't resign yourself to things before even getting there!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Because I know how a hostile takeover works. And they fail if you leave any of your enemies to come back seeking retribution. It doesn't end at the fall. That's just the beginning.

[liarliarliar]

I say don't say it's impossible until you get there. You'll be bending the world so. See how much can be bent.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ BUT MY INNER CYNIC, B ] [ Reluctantly, like you just asked him to eat his vegetables ] I'll try...

[liarliarliar]

[using his puzzle pieces in the puzzle Intensity is working on]

You're an amazing guy, you know. I'm glad I know you.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Watching with wide eyes ] I know! Of course I'm amazing. But. I don't know how to pay you back. For everything. This is the only way I know how to do it!

[liarliarliar]

You pay me back all the time. You care about me, if I'm not mistaken? That's worth a lot.

You help me lots.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Grabs cheek. Pulls. ] Then let me do it for my insatiable ego.

[liarliarliar]

OW

[illusion drops

surprise his face is swollen from god kicking him in the face]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Ah! I didn't mean to--- [ Waitaminute ] B! Your face?

[liarliarliar]

This happened...yesterday now I guess? I was going to tell you today.

I kinda passed out to sleep off the drugs after it happened, sorry...

Uh. Your trackers saved my life so thanks?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Distress levels are not rising, and being in the body of a 10 years old makes feelings hard. Deep breaths. And then the gears turn. Oh. ] Fucking God!

[liarliarliar]

[patpat]

Pretty much. I'll tell whole Intensity more about it later.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Okay. Okay. Sorry about the--- [ Mimes pulling on B's face ] How long before you can put the illusion back up.

[liarliarliar]

Not long, not long. It didn't hurt that much. Though I don't look too cute this way I know.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's not about cuteness. You were doing it for your own reasons.

[liarliarliar]

It's Intensity day and people should mostly be thinking about Intensity right now.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Intensity's day? What is that even? It's not like it's my birthday or anything. ... I think.

[liarliarliar]

Everything here is Intensity though. So surely to me it's Intensity day.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Intensity Day, huh...? [ Reaches for one of the knick knacks that B picked up from the amusement park. ]

[liarliarliar]

Yeah. Wanna go see the park?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ He lights up at that. ] Okay! Did you like it? Was it fun? I thought there were too many non-Blue Eyes rides, but Mokuba insisted we have a little variety.
