hearts endgame

[idolpro]

Who: ♥
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 208

[ You wake up, still in the whole-room bed. The screen has turned off, and the elevators are open at both the lobby and the game room, for people to come up and visit and freely leave.

pep!pep!, Taisho Roman Revolution, BAD END=DEAD END, WILD CITY, and avante en garde will find 800+ more points in their pocket, along with whatever injuries they might have sustained in the hearts to be gone like it was just a dream.

Everyone else who still has injuries by the end of their run will find their injuries technically completely healed, but with throbbing pain at their injury sites like the wounds are still open; those who need revival will find their heart hurts like it's been stabbed through. Still, they're only phantom pains: they'll clear up within the next day or so.

Heart game runners, if your character's heart displays their unit traits, you may count that towards your point total.

You may bring home any souvenirs from hearts within reason! AKA things that can be received through fanmail, provided they no longer have any more magical or special ability. ]

[ Popping into his view upside down, since Intensity's not getting up. ]

. . . You're awake?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Why are you upside down?

...

Oh. That's why.]

Why do you sound surprised?





[And then a pause]

Huh. I don't remember seeing you this time.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Lifts an eyebrow ]

That's because our only overlap was in your heart.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Opens mouths.

(Why are you looking at him like that?)

Closes it.

Opens it again.]




Well fuck.

[puzzlekeeper]

Yeah.

[ AGREED

Flicking some of the hair out of Intensity's face ]

Do you feel weird at all...?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Huffs and reaches up to mess up King's hair.

Or well. Attempt to.]

Besides the headache, no.

Would I know, though? If something was weird.

[puzzlekeeper]

That's true...

[ In retaliation for the hair ruffle he just

Drags Intensity's head into his lap. Since it's right there and all. ]

I guess I'll decide for myself.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Look, you started it.

But he certainly isn't opposed to that change in position. And that pretense of huffiness is just that -- a pretense -- as he settles against King.]

Whatever.

I would have liked to see someone try to influence me.

Their funeral.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He seems to relax immediately once that's done. ]

That's true. I probably only know one person more stubborn.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Closes his eyes to avoid the glare from the lights]

Don't throw down that challenge.

Or do. I'll be happy to prove you wrong.

[puzzlekeeper]

D.Va.

Good luck.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh? So you admit I'm more stubborn than you.

[That's still winning, you know.

Even if he gets the silver when compared to D.Va]

[puzzlekeeper]

You are more stubborn than me.

If that weren't true, one of us would have killed the other by now.

[ THAT ONE TIME NOTWITHSTANDING ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[That one time notwithstanding.

He laughs.]

Excuse you. I am not responsible for any of the times you took leaps of faith off
of Blue Eyes.

[puzzlekeeper]

You kept inviting me back, so I think you're at least partially responsible.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Guilty as charged.

Guess I'll just have to keep catching you.

Out of stubbornness.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Snorts ]

I guess so. How terrible for you. My sympathies.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. Terrible. You should do something nice for me in return.

[puzzlekeeper]

Hmmm...

Well then, why don't I come back with you and sufficiently spoil you?

1/2

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[That gets his eyes to snap open as he cranes his head back to look at King.

And what is with this overwhelming feeling? Like he is walking straight into a game-losing trap card.

And he doesn't give a shit about tripping it.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Spoil me?

Don't confuse your kink for mine.

[That is not necessarily a no.]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ S m i r k s ]

That just means you need convincing.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[His grin just turns that much sharper.]

Well then.

Do your worst.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ OH HE WILL.

But in the meantime it looks like it's time to lean down for a Spiderman kiss. Since PDA just plain doesn't matter anymore. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He's expecting it.

He's expecting it but he can still feel a warm flush on the tip of his ears. Which is stupid. Because PDA doesn't matter. And it's not like he didn't toss King against a table and kiss him senseless while he was in a maid outfit before.

So why? For just one kiss.

Ugh. Feelings.

The best counter is to just aggressively kiss back. Win on at least some front.]
