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.

Clicking on Yvette.]

B

"You actually care about me. If I started saying something, if I gave even the slightest hint I needed to talk, you'd listen. So when you need to talk, I wanna help too. Also the 4am visit was funny and that has a lot of value."

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

       

Silence

"I want to win. ...but at my core, I think we should do good. Like gifting Heart Soldier Senshi. If you want.

Then let's break the pattern and help them. Spirals like that should not continue. Besides, we are doing well enough."

[He wonders why Song needed to make a contract. A question for another time. He clicks on his own entry not that he still knows WTF Zalera means.]

[Wow. Rivalry, really. And I'm playing him proper if trust = uneasiness.

Let's have a look at that BIOS, shall we?]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

2. Acquire King of Hell title
3. Protect rival

[By Zodiark, you all are going to burn yourself out. Ugh.

1. Protect family
2. Acquire King of Hell title
3. Protect rival
5. Protect unit
6. Protect priority people outside unit
8. Pursuit of happiness
7. Regain prior self
4. Employee retirement plan

With 3 goals being protect, really the retirement plan can be done after the actual retiring happens. He almost swaps one and two.... but.]

[ESC. Support is unnecessary, so he logs out of the program.

He stares at the glass box.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Lights are on, but no one is home. ]

[firstworldproblem]

Have a good rest~.

[Heaven has no interest for him so he goes to the elevator behind the box.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The elevator has the following floors that you can go to:

---

〇 JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Shinjuku - 6th floor
〇 GROUND FLOOR - CPU Core, Access to Heaven and Hell
〇 DEATH-T
〇 𓁪𓍝𓅊𓁢

---

Your current location is [ GROUND FLOOR ].

[firstworldproblem]

[Hmmm. Death-T or weird symbols? Death-T or weird symbols?

Weird symbols.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Sure you wanna go there? ]
