Heart Game: Intensity (Turn 5)

[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.

[ There is just one emotion radiating off Kaiba at the moment. And that is anger. Bottomless. Relentless. Ever churning.

Three distinct sources of said anger seem to boil over, crying out for the need for vengeance.

Which Kaiba is just barely keeping at bay with his non-so-friendly smirk and stiff posture.

Look, he needs you to open this prison, after all. ]

[criminaljustice]

[yeah uh. that ain't happening till you chill a little

ARE THERE REALLY NO DUCT VENTS IN THIS PLACE? WHAT KIND OF SCIFI BASE DOESN'T HAVE DUCTS TO CRAWL AROUND IN]

So, exactly why are you locked up in the first place? You don't seem too happy about it, so was it another aspect that did it?

[ This is a space station shaped like a giant KC because Intensity is max nerd! No budget left for air ducts!!! ]

They wanted to throw away their past. Bury it.

Surely you've heard him bitch about that more than once.

[criminaljustice]

Funny, he's been taking more memories lately, so I figured he'd gotten over it.

[but also... there are definitely some aspects there that he can understand not wanting to carry over.]

What about you? Are you wanting to lock them up in return? 'Cause, I'm not about to let something like that on the loose so easily. Even if I can put you through your own walls.

You need to get it together and work with the rest of them. You're not going to succeed in anything if you're fighting with yourself.

Says the guy who guillotines pieces of his own soul? Really.

[criminaljustice]

Hey. That was a fusion method. And it worked to help me, didn't it?

Intensity helped me then. I want to repay the favor. You want to succeed? You know you can't do it alone. Even if that drives you nuts to admit to.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Fine. Fine.

Then let me out, and I'll prove to you that I can play nice.

[criminaljustice]

I don't expect you to play nice with me. I get some of the things you hate about me.

[like, uh. Trial things.

and also him being himself.

but fine. he'll donate a single piece for unlocking the bars]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Kaiba has gained one (1) puzzle piece.

And he looks legitimately surprised that you let him out for all of a second before smarmy asshole facade is back on. ]

On the contrary, Boss.

You're now my favorite person.

[ And he gestures to the exit. ]

After you.

[criminaljustice]

[look, getting a surprised look from Intensity is always a reason to return a smirk.]

Careful. You might make the audience think you have a thing for me.

[but sure, let's mosey]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[[ Off we go then ]]
