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.

You're a light for a soul where there was none. Brilliant and beautiful. A guiding star in the darkness.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And where would I be with no one to guide?

[deifiedwhitedragon]

Somewhere I can't even begin to see.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And somewhere without you sounds dreadful. [ And she laughs ] Don't you think?

[deifiedwhitedragon]

...

[He just closes his arms around her again.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Gently pats his back. ] It's okay. I'm happy things ended up like this.

[deifiedwhitedragon]

Happy...

[He runs his hand through her hair lightly]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. Happy. Because I can be with you.

[deifiedwhitedragon]

Only like this.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ She shakes her head. ] I'm with you, too. In your heart. I've always been.

[deifiedwhitedragon]

...I know.

That's not the same.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No. You're right. It's not. But you're also not alone anymore, are you?

[deifiedwhitedragon]

...They're not you, either.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Seto. [ And she tilts his head up. ] Can you try to find happiness for me? That is my one and only request.

[deifiedwhitedragon]

[His eyes shine a bit as he opens them properly to look at her, quiet for a moment.]

...I couldn't deny your request.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then make me feel better, silly. And say you want to be happy, too.

[deifiedwhitedragon]

...

[with great effort:]

I want to be happy. And I'd have no chance of it if it weren't for you.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Leans over to kiss the tip of his nose ] Aren't you sweet?

[deifiedwhitedragon]

[flusters again]

That's just a fact.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh so is the fact you're sweet. Come. [ And she takes his hands. ] Play a game of senet with me.

[deifiedwhitedragon]

[looks a little dubious at that first part, but at the second—]

Of course.

[and he follows her to the board]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ She pulls out a chair for him first before sitting down, and then starts arranging the pieces in their starting positions. ]

[deifiedwhitedragon]

[He sits down, and spends the set up time watching her rather than seeming interested in the board.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ As she sets down the last piece. ] You still seem a bit distracted.

[deifiedwhitedragon]

...This may be my only time to see you like this.
