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.

He kinda left them laying around...

Which King am I supposed to hand them off to?

There's only the one---

Maybe you should give them to Blue Eyes.

... mm, okay. I'll make my way there.

Ah, but lemme ask... why do you keep that one guy locked up?

Oh him?

[ Nonchalantly: ]

He wants to kill the current version of me.

Is he giving you trouble? I can put him back.

He's not giving me any trouble.

I just think it's a little unfair to have a part of yourself locked up when you're clearly the stronger one. Your appearance is very deceptive here. Maybe you don't feel that way, but you not only out-number him but you're more supported than he is.

He can only kill you if you allow for it.

[that said, he's tossing him the last silver piece]

Try to find a way to work together with that part. He is still you, after all.

[ He catches it, but then looks up at Joker ]

. . .

[ And then his expression hardens into something more like what you would see of the Intensity you know in the waking world ]

It's not that easy.

Never said it was.

But do you really want me to have bragging rights on getting my shit together while you keep locking up the parts you don't like?

Better than having them get in the way during a critical moment.

He can't be restored fully anyway. He's lost his name.

[expression flattens, looking a bit pained]

Yeah, I know.

And you know I won't stop until I fix my mistake there.

[putting empty cup of coffee on a table or something]

Thanks for the coffee. I'll go hand off the golden pieces to Blue Eyes.

Come back when you're done.

I want to talk.

See ya then.
