Heart Game: Intensity (Turn 4)

[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.

I, ah, was in the area. [but what is a vacation?????] But while I am, ah, here, I should speak with him, yes.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Okay. You can find him past the amusement park. [ And then after a beat ] You probably want to talk to either the one in the FiN dorms or the one leading the production downstairs.

[forgottenmercy]

Ah, noted. Thank you.

...while I am, ah, here, is there anything that I can help you with?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Sighs dramatically ] There's not much to help with unless you like a lot of paperwork and stuff. Who knew Heaven would also be all about bookkeeping. Boooooring.

[forgottenmercy]

[look, he comes from a world with a literal celestial bureaucracy.] I can, ah, do at least a little of it for you.

Something, ah, has to keep the world in order...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Persephone, your world is nothing but suffering!!! ] Oh! Okay. Great. So who do you think would be best for the next Heaven Graduation? Big Bro is graduating a lot today. I need to keep up or I'm gonna fall behind! [ And he opens a page to the current roster of SensitIV! - minus Persephone and Lucifel. ]

[forgottenmercy]

[Sidereal Exalted have to file forms in triplicate, especially to do astrology. not that Persephone knows any of this.

also of course it's suffering, it's the Age of Sorrows after all.]

That is, ah, a good question... unless something, ah, changed in the time I have been away, most of my unitmates were...undecided on the matter of their worlds, as far as I knew. [and two of them are auditions.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh. Well. Should I give them a little more time to think it over then? If they're not ready.

[forgottenmercy]

[nods] They will, ah, be ready in time, and there is no point trying to push them to make a decision that they aren't ready for.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Deflates a little. ] Fiiiiiiine. [ And then perks back up. ] Oh. Then you should ride one of the rides at the amusement park instead. And come back and tell me if you like it!

[forgottenmercy]

[internally sighs. can't believe someone is trying to make him ride one of those...things. maybe there's a placid, gentle one somewhere in there.]

If I, ah, am able to make it out that way, I might.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ This is Intensity's heart though... Good luck, Maiden. Fighto! ] Okay. It's a deal. I'll be waiting for your report.

[forgottenmercy]

[of course not. it figures. inclines his head gracefully to him in acknowledgement] Until we, ah, meet again.

[and going to turn and leave, then.]
