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.

Death-T Reception

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You enter a simple room that has no furniture save for a very Future is Now style table and chairs. They edges of the furniture bathe the entire room in a warm silver-blue light.

Something small and gold glitters on top of the table.

There are two exits: [ In front and behind you ]

[going to inspect the shiny]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ They are two gold puzzle pieces. They do not seem to match the other puzzle piece in your possession which is silver. ]

[criminaljustice]

[... picking them up?]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ You have added two (2) golden puzzle pieces to your inventory. Kaiba does not seem to notice. ]

Are you done?

[ Where did this shitty child come from? He's stepping in and un-stealthing not long after Joker grabs the puzzle pieces ]

Fancy seeing you here.

[criminaljustice]

[oh hay]

Yo. Kinda expected, honestly.

Re: Death-T Reception

[iamverybadass]

Really? I'd assumed most people would avoid something with a name like this.

Re: Death-T Reception

[iamverybadass]

Much less ominous than expected...

[ Just gonna take a minute to inspect the furniture for any secret switches or anything ]

NPC Summon

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The shadows distort along the back of the room, enveloping one of the chairs. When the darkness passes, a not quite familiar face looks up from the card deck that he is shuffling. King(?)'s face lights up as all the potential victims that have entered the room.

Even if one of those happen to be Kaiba.

My my my. What do we have here?

Re: NPC Summon

[criminaljustice]

[... oh fun]

Sup, King.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Hello, Joker. I believe you took something of mine!

[criminaljustice]

No idea what you're talking about.

Anyway, should I just call out the fact that you're not actually King but probably just some kind of shadow representing Intensity's rivalry with you?

'Cauuuuse... yeah. I can get meta like that.

[ TIME TO TRY DEFECT he is not even going to waste time on whatever King is about to do here.

unfortunately he rolls a 2. ]

I can already tell you it's a pass on whatever you're here for.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Unfortunately, a 2 is not enough to turn the King of Games. ]

No? Surely I can make it worth your while.

[iamverybadass]

I have my doubts about that, but very well. Let's hear your pitch.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Someone else is also quite excited to see this particular NPC. ]

Yugi.

I finally found you.

[criminaljustice]

[... buddy]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ This is an incredibly sane face. I don't know what you're talking about!

And he's going to make a move to get closer to King. ]

[iamverybadass]

... Really?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ He does not seem to be paying attention to you as his obsession focus is 100% on King. ]

[rollyourluck]

So, that's your obsession?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ He hisses: ]

Yes.

[ That is DEFINITELY his obsession.

But currently, Kaiba is being dragged off to the elevators with Joker.

And Talon is staying here to play a game with King.

What will you do, Slot? ]

Re: NPC Summon

[rollyourluck]

I don't know, what do we have here?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Just someone interested in playing a game to pass the time. Are you interested?
