Heart Game: Run #3

[Date: February 21, 7:00pm EST
Participants: D.Va, Ruby, Allen, Intensity, Kaguya(?)
Channel: kohime-heart]

Fair enough.

[And steps into her personal space (since crooking his finger has historically not worked with Kohime)]

[She stands her ground with a small smile, her tail curling and uncurling idly.]

Then I'll protect her because she needs it.

[Reaches forward to coil a lock of her hair around his finger]

But you're still my favorite.

[She keeps her eyes on his, even as he reaches up to touch her hair.]

Your favourite, huh. I'll hold you to that.

[Laughs lightly]

Of course you will.

But pardon my --- lack of faith --- at the producers for just letting any fool wander in here.

[And the back of his hand trails down her cheek before his moves to pull his hand back.]

When the dust settles from this game, it's you I want to see standing tall. Not anyone else.

[If he thinks she leans into that touch at all, well –– it's definitely just his imagination.]

I've survived a lot worse than this. You don't have anything to worry about.

Perhaps I want to aim for something higher than just your survival.

Then you'd better win, King of Hell. You know I don't have a future with things the way they are right now.

Your own fault for tying your fate to mine.

[She crosses her arms, then, losing some of the levity she'd had until this point.]

But it's not you that I'm tied to, am I?

. . .

You're going to have explain that one to me. I blitzed by many of the rooms here.

[She raises her hand, and her lovely bone bracelet is on it (was that there, before...?).]

Win or lose, there's only one place I'm going, remember?

[Holds up his own hand, with the bone ring on his middle finger]

Then two degrees of separation.

And she can adorn you in all the gaudy ugly jewelry she wants. She'll learn in time that I don't let go of things that are mine. ... Everyone does eventually.

Up for debate. I'd say owing a favour isn't the same as owing your soul, but I'm not an expert on demon contracts.

. . .Like I said. I'll hold you to that, In~ten~si~ty~

[Reaches to touch that arm with the bone bracelet]

Are demon contracts so different from normal contracts? You just have to find the loophole.

What makes you think the Fright Zone had contracts, exactly?

It's kind of a new concept for me, is what I'm saying.

Is it?

You found the loopholes that allowed you to rise in the ranks while other failed. You succeeded when they tried to keep you down. Set you up for failure.

And I'm not just saying that to boost your ego.

That kind of seems like a stretch.

...

Maybe it is.

Doesn't mean there isn't a loophole to be found.

Awww, look at you, being all wide-eyed and hopeful. It's almost cute.

I'm going to tell your waking self you called me cute with zero of the other context.

Pff, like she'd believe you.

Or I'd believe you.

Whatever it is.

Of course not. The look on her face would be worth it.

Probably.

Think she'd appreciate it more if you, like, stabbed anyone who really wrecked up the place in here.

You know, friendly gestures~

Give me a list of names then.
