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.

You can start.
[ And as you play, even though you're good. King is better. And he's definitely going to win unless you do something about it.
Like cheat.
Are you going to cheat? (yes/no) ]

[ And with your poor flirting skills, King is not distracted. So you lose.
By a lot.
A lot a lot.
And King starts laughing. ]

So you get a 2-for-1 special. Same as Talon's. ]
[ 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. ]
[ You didn't cheat, though, so no lingering nightmares for you! ]

He doesn't now. But from that slightly glazed looks in his eyes, he will probably listen to whatever Bark has to say. ]

Winning is great, but playing can be just as fulfilling.
