Heart Game: Intensity (Turn 5)

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.

[ Even though this is a game of mostly luck and not skill, it is very apparent that you are going to lose. King easily has the upper hand.

Unless you cheat.

Do you cheat? (yes/no) ]
iamverybadass: (Suds)

[ Of course he's going to cheat. What self-respecting batkid would ever leave a game of chance to actual chance?

His options are a little limited outside of card counting though. Are there any spare decks in sight, any chance of palming cards? ]

[personal profile] bluescreenwhitedragon 2020-02-22 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This is why Intensity loves Talon.

You are absolutely able to palm cards should you choose. ]
iamverybadass: (Heh)

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-22 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Then he's definitely ready to start, keeping an eye out for any denominations that look useful ]

[personal profile] bluescreenwhitedragon 2020-02-22 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And just when it looks like Talon is going to win.

Just when it looks like victory is within his grasp.



King flips over a winning hand.

And the shadows darken until only the glow from his third eye is visible. ]

You couldn't uphold the rules of the game.

[ Did he catch you cheating, good sir?

Of course he did. (He caught Kaiba cheating as well back in the day.) ]
iamverybadass: (Wowwwww so cooooool)

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-22 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He should have seen this coming

Maybe not the 3rd eye, but the rest of this ]

You look like an absolute maniac, and you're challenging people to a game in a building named for death. What did you expect?

cw: gore, getting eaten by monters

[personal profile] bluescreenwhitedragon 2020-02-22 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Look.

The first chapters of Yu-Gi-Oh were a time. Okay. ]

[ So King responds with just a laugh ]

You're right.

I expected this very outcome.

Penalty Game: The Experience of Death.


[ The shadows elongate, dripping from the walls and crawling across the floor until only the center of the room remains. Then it takes the chairs. The table. And King fades from view with a not so sane laugh.

You feel something bite into your shoulder. Your side. The back of your calf. Your stomach. Piece by painstaking piece you are ripped about by the very monsters in your deck - claws tearing and rending. (Perhaps even your own tentacles wrapping around your neck). Until you choke on blood or nothing - you can't even tell up from down anymore. As you are quite literally torn apart. ]

[ And after it's over, you snap to. Just a dream. Just a vision. But it felt so real. ]

[ Because you cheated, you may choose to keep this nightmare for up to 1 IC week after Heart Games.

Cheaters never prosper, you know. ]
iamverybadass: (more intense mood rain)

1/2

[ Talon has experienced a lot of death during his time in Imeeji, and a lot of visions of horror.

But somehow.

Experiencing this over a game of blackjack of all things.

It's a little too much.

He's been screaming himself hoarse through the vision of it, and even when it ends abruptly he's left shivering for a few long moments while his mind catches back up to reality. ]
iamverybadass: (LEMME AT HIM)

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-22 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He grabs the edge of the table and flips it up at King, pivoting to plant his foot squarely on the bottom of the table to kick it into his face as hard as he can manage ]

You fuCKING MANIAC I WILL RIP YOUR EYE RIGHT OUT OF YOUR FOREHEAD!

[ THE FUCK!?

You can't bring physical violence into a card game----!

That's now how this works! That's not how any of this works. ]


[ That is to say. You have successfully decked King with the table. ]
iamverybadass: (I WILL HANG YOU BY YOUR ENTRAILS)

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-22 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He rushes forward to follow the table, trying to press it over and down on top of him to keep him pinned. ]

What the fuck is wrong with you.

[ He is ONCE AGAIN trying defect, because even as enraged as he is he'd prefer not to do any lasting damage to part of Intensity's heart. Even one as fucked up as this.

Rolled 7! ]

[ Congrats. You now have a King!minion.

At least for the remainder of the Heart anyway. ]

What's wrong with me? Nothing.

I'm just doling out punishments as people deserve them.
iamverybadass: (Stakeout)

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-22 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
No more punishments. Not a single one.

Agree and I will allow you out from under the table.

[ Unnnnnnnnggggggggghhhhhhh ]







Fine.
iamverybadass: (who invited this moron?)

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-22 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[ Climbs off the table as carefully as he can manage, and lifts it up so King can get out from beneath it ]
bluescreenwhitedragon: ((blank))

[personal profile] bluescreenwhitedragon 2020-02-22 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Huffs as he gets up ]

Take the pieces then. You've earned them.

[ But you also threw the table, so you're gonna have to go find them ]
iamverybadass: (This """plan""" sucks)

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-22 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Gracious of you.

[ Fine!!1 He's going to snoop around until he finds every last one ]

Tell me where the best place to recruit additional minions is.

[personal profile] bluescreenwhitedragon 2020-02-22 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're looking for quantity, you should head to the FiN dorm.
iamverybadass: (Wowwwww so cooooool)

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-22 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... you know what, why not? That seems like the kind of adjustment Intensity will correct immediately upon waking up ]

That's not in the theme park, is it?
bluescreenwhitedragon: ((blank))

[personal profile] bluescreenwhitedragon 2020-02-22 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Points to one of the exits ]

Take the elevator to the 6th floor.

iamverybadass: (Suds)

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-22 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Got it.

Thank you, but do not forget my instruction about no further punishments.
bluescreenwhitedragon: ((blank))

[personal profile] bluescreenwhitedragon 2020-02-22 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course."

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



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



Your current location is [ DEATH-T ].
iamverybadass: (Why isn't this digital?)

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2020-02-22 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Heading to the 6th floor, only after confirming that Bark is going to be alright ]
bluescreenwhitedragon: ((blank))

[personal profile] bluescreenwhitedragon 2020-02-22 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Bark is gonna be okay.

Proceed to here ]
