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.

[ 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. ]

[criminaljustice]

[grabbing hold of him because buddy]

Look, I get your hardon here, but kinda on a time limit here.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Sir?

SIR!?

Are you trying to keep him from his rival? This noodle is going to attempt to backhand you. ]

[criminaljustice]

[YOU ARE A NOODLE AND I HAVE HYSMINE BLESSING.

which means he's grabbing hold of Kaiba's wrist and twisting it pointedly]

Later. You have all the time in the world to do battle with him, remember? Or did you forget your journey to the other side already?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Success. You have grabbed one noodle. Though he is struggling mightily. ]

All the time in the world?

All the time in. the. world?

Don't make me laugh.

He ignored me. Threw me away like yesterday's trash. And then had the gall to think that he could escape me by dying!

I'm not letting him get away again!

[criminaljustice]

This isn't him.

This is you. A part of you wearing his face.

Get your head on straight and let's go.

[iamverybadass]

... Really?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

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

[iamverybadass]

[ ...well. Trying to defect him while he's distracted—rolled 5 ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Well you certainly got him to pause.

But also - this guy is pretty obsessed.

So.

You can give him orders for 3 comments, before he regains himself. ]

[iamverybadass]

[ S I G H ]

[ Well, seeing how intent Joker is on getting him out of here...may as well help with that ]

Go with Joker. ...and keep him from doing anything stupid.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Understood.

He is following Joker's orders now. ]

[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? ]

[rollyourluck]

[ i'll stay here with talon! ]

Why, may I ask?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Because he's my rival.

The only one who has ever stood up to me and won.

Again and again and again.

The scars of my defeat can never be healed until I put him in his place.

[rollyourluck]

[ ok kaiba ]

I'm glad to see your name just continues to expand to your entire life.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ SHUT UP!

YOU DON'T HAVE HIS NUMBER!

As he is being dragged away by Joker: ]

That's not my name.

That's his fucking name!

[rollyourluck]

[ calls after him as he's dragged away ]

We'll talk more about it later!

[iamverybadass]

[ wait a sec ]

—Bark?

[rollyourluck]

Talon! Looks like you're not the only one playing a game here.

[iamverybadass]

—Don't agree to his challenge you idiot!

[rollyourluck]

We're just passing the time.
