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.

[ She looks positively delighted as she keeps singing. ALSO she pings supernatural. Like an 11/10. She also pings dead. ]

[forgottenmercy]

[supernatural and dead. hmm.]

...are you, ah, a friend of Intensity's?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. And I've met you before, Maiden.

[forgottenmercy]

[tilts head and considers. her coloring...]

...are you, ah, Blue Eyes?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The one and same. Surprised to see me?

[forgottenmercy]

[shakes his head] Ah, no. With how much he treasures you...of course you would, ah, be here.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Sighs. Fondly. ] You saw the amusement park, didn't you?

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, did, yes.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Isn't he cute!? All of that --- just for me. [ In this house, we stan Intensity and Seto ]

[forgottenmercy]

It, ah, was cute. A gift that he, ah, tried to make worthy of you.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

But not quite your style, I imagine. [ She claps her hands together ] Shall I teach you how to play senet? I think you might enjoy it.

[forgottenmercy]

Not, ah, quite, yes.

[absolutely not, no.]

...If it, ah, would not be too much trouble, it might be nice.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No trouble at all. Time has left this particular game behind. It seems no one in the modern world remembers how to play. So I would be more than happy to spread its influence once again. It was a favorite of theirs.

[forgottenmercy]

I will, ah, do my best to learn, then.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Persephone has acquired the skill: Senet Please kick Intensity's ass with this knowledge ]

[forgottenmercy]

[of course he will. demurely and gently, of course.]

Ah, thank you...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Demurely and gently, of course ] You have quite the talent for singing.

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, have...had quite a lot of practice.

And, ah, you as well.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That's high praise, coming from a professional like yourself. As for myself -- I suppose I have dabbled it in on and off since I passed on.

[forgottenmercy]

It, ah, has...been quite some time, hasn't it?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Three millenia, give or take. Though whenever he was dormant, so was I.

[forgottenmercy]

Souls, ah, tied together...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. I suppose your world might work a little different, but yes. When I died I tied my soul to his. He was the only person to ever show me kindness.

[forgottenmercy]

So you, ah, chose to follow him, then...

From one, ah, lifetime to the next to the next.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Of course. You know how he is. It'd be a shame to leave him on his own. [ He'd never make it ]
