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.

Arrange a meeting with me and this Zodiark once they have been summoned to this plane of existence, and we'll consider it a wish granted.

Provided you sign your contract, of course.

[firstworldproblem]

If that is your desire.

[He nods.]

Of course.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ A sharp snap of his fingers and a holographic screen appears in the air before you - a sleek silver stylus hovering in mid-air right next to it.

Ah.

It's your wish. In the form of a binding contract. Because of course it would be.

There's a place for your signature down at the bottom. ]

So do you find these terms agreeable?

[[ Mechanic: Aligning with the King of Hell will cost one (1) puzzle piece. ]]

[firstworldproblem]

[Uh. What the hell is bowling?!!!!! Tries to keep a straight face at that. He'll figure that out later. Not problem now.

He writes two things:
- The first is he scratches out the word 'Alexander' and pauses for a moment before replacing it with 'Emet-Selch'. He almost puts Hades.
- His signature is the symbol of his office

Also have a puzzle piece, sir. Actually screw that. Have both.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ FUCK YEAH! Two puzzle pieces!

And he offers a hand to shake. ]

Welcome to Hell, Emet Selch.

[firstworldproblem]

[Shakes his hand.]

Truly a pleasure.

[Can he go home now? Because that would be really great. And he's waited like a thousand thousand lifetimes to go home.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

My secretary will see you out then.

[ And he points to the door. ]

Let him know when we should expect a call from this Zodiark.

[firstworldproblem]

[He doesn't see a secretary, but he will let himself out.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[[ Well. Isn't this awkward?

Proceed to here ]]
