Who: everyone
Where: GAME TOWER
When: Day 8, morning

[ as the GAME ALERT goes off on idols' phones and pulls up the map app, the monitors in the lobby of the game tower similarly flare to life, showing the face of a white-haired man with eerily green eyes and matching painted nails, leaning very close to the camera and waving with both hands. the elevators are open and waiting, with the floor indicator lights over the doors showing unit names instead of numbers. trying to enter another unit's elevator just won't work, for whatever reason. there are more monitors inside the elevators, in case any of you were worried about missing this guy's intro spiel on the ride up. ]

Good morning, everyone! Thank you for tuning in~! As you may have seen on our website, today we'll be collaborating with some very special, very exciting guests-

[ he steps back, and the camera pans out until the top half of his figure is relegated to one of the bottom corners of the display, to make room for a large screen; he gestures at it with a fling of both arms, and logos with each of the units' names fill the screen. ]

-My very own juniors from Imeeji Idol Productions!

[ as he keeps talking, the logos fade out and change to a slideshow of pictures of the characters in Imeeji, some group shots, some solo, all candid shots from their past few days here, expertly taken (and in some cases possibly edited a little). ]

As some of you probably already know, it's only been a short time since I graduated from being an idol, so this will be my first time on this end of the "host and idol" interaction! Since it's an important occasion, I arranged for a special theme for today's program- mahjong! Ja-jannnn!

[ he gesticulates at the screen again, and the last shot of someone's face is replaced by this image. ]

But the goal of this game isn't building sets like your standard riichi. These tiles are just simple tools for our idols to use to show us their resolve! Their compassion! Their devotion! And most of all, their luck!

[ the camera angle switches to one where his torso is centered in the frame when he claps his hands, and he smiles brightly from the monitor. ]

But they're not the only ones who'll be working hard! Remember, everyone - idols thrive on love! That's why, please support them with everything you have! The only way the unit you hold in your heart the most can beat the others is if you cheer them on with all your love!

And with that, leeeeeet's go~☆!

[ the screens flick off and the elevator doors open, not to the large stage, but to individual rooms. as soon as you step into your unit's room, the instructions will appear on your phones. ]

Standing--not over but close to the box of missing body parts, leaning heavily against the nearby entry-way corner. It might be a little hard to tell at first, what with her hair being naturally red, but the normally floofy strands are plastered heavily to her skin which is--covered in drying blood from the remains of her left ear all the way down to her collar bone, shoulder, and clothes. (Thank goodness her color choice will hide the stains well?) Her ear is actually fairly easy to spot; it was pierced and had an earring in it after all. But the sight of all the bloody pieces of people is making her stomach queasy and her already throbbing head woozy again. If she looks like she might be sick, it's because she might.

[NO WHY]

Hiryuu...

[going over to put a hand on her shoulder and hopefully get her to stop staring at the body parts.]

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[dragonheartedgirl]

I need my ear... [ Although honestly can anything be done at this point? Giving it back after cutting it back... isn't that just cruel? ]

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[criminaljustice]

Hurricane's getting it. SensitIV can heal it.

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[dragonheartedgirl]

Oh. Okay. [ The tension goes out of her body and her voice--it still has that dream-like quality it did before, minus the manic edge. Everything feels very surreal right now, the pain having exceeded what she can deal with for any extended period of time and now--well. It's shock; this is definitely shock. ] Did you make it through okay, Boss?

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[furrytailprince]

[ Has ear, is unsure if he should show it to her ]

Ah, I found... yours...

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[dragonheartedgirl]

Oh, thank you...

[ she's not really completely with it anymore. ]

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[furrytailprince]

[ He's going to try wrapping the ear in one of his sashes so she doesn't have to look at it at least ]

Perhaps sensitIV will take responsibility for their actions and fix this.

[ He's not his unit mate; he does not blame Taisho for sensitIV's decision. ]

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[dragonheartedgirl]

Don't be harsh. SensitIV are all good boys.

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey. Hey, you go sit down. Lemme get this.

[God he doesn't want to get this. But it is EVEN WORSE to make her do it herself, so he sure is digging through this box for Hiryuu's ear and dad's tongue.]

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Has Hiryuu ever simply and quietly agreeably agreed to anything before? Because ]

Okay.

[ She's kind of in shock again so she's going to totter off but like real talk she's just going to end up in front of cardigan probably and end up in a fight she can't win, woooo. ]

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Okay. Okay, ear get.]

Just stay put, okay? SensitIV's healing people. Just gimme a second and I'll go get someone.

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[bevoted]

[ yeah he's. immediately beelining towards her. not even remotely stopping to consider anyone else. ]

Hiryuu! [ grabbing her by the arm as soon as he gets there so, you know, immediately apparent he's talking to her in case she's too in shock to get it the first time. ]

Hiryuu-- that's... you're bleeding.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ She flinches and freezes up for a moment, a scream stuck in her throat as she remembers metal appendages appear from behind her, most with gripping rubber on the ends, holding her head in a vice grip while the small circular chainsaw attached to the last one moves in and whirs loudly as it cuts through the base of her ear ]

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ --She realizes after a moment that there's no blade, no metal prongs or rubber grips, just... a person. She recognizes? ] ... Loki? [ She's bleeding...? Her fingers lift to the side of her head and stop short when she reaches where her ear should be and isn't. ] ... My ear...

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[bevoted]

[ ... god. ... god damnit. this wasn't even Sensitiv's doing, not really. not technically. their piece was the tongue. but still... ]

I'm sorry..... I'm sorry, I didn't- ....... [ god everything he tries to say sounds flat and meaningless. ]

... let me take you to Lucifel, okay? He can heal you...

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[sancrimony]

. . . Hiryuu-san.

[ someone has definitely brought your ear to you already ]

Please let me see your wound.

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ She's definitely not fighting it but like

not completely here ]

Oh, hello Lucifel. ... Lucifel-san? Luci. Fel.

[ She giggles. ]

How are you?

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[sancrimony]

[ wow that hurts a lot ]

I'm not injured. Please don't worry about me.

[ i'm sure the ear will make its way to him at some point so he's just going to reach up to her ]

Please excuse me rudeness.

[ his hand starts to glow a white, and the pain starts ebbing away from her head - so does like, all feeling on her head though ]

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[grandschemed]

Hiryuu.

[ hey. matchies. his own ear has been fixed up at this point but there's still the blood down his neck and shoulder caked on

his own voice is hoarse as he leans down more on her level ]

Luci's got you, yeah?

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[dragonheartedgirl]

Oniiiiiiiiiiiii...

[ His name just stretches on and on--it has a funny sound right? Right.

Sorry. She's lost... a fair amount of blood for a girl her size, and shock. it's. a doozy. ]

Luci-san is going to heal me, yes. Are you feeling better now?

Re: ENDGAME & HEALING(?)

[grandschemed]

[ he nods. ]

Better'n some folks here. Boss and 99 helped me out.

[ a beat, before he exhales; a barely-restrained anger in his voice ]

I swear to ya I'm gonna rip 'em all a new one, one day. All the people who run this goddam place.

[unbr8kable]

...You okay?

[obviously, obviously not, but shit]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Nope. ]

Yes!

[ Straightens up. Tries to straighten up. Sort of--totters and leans unevenly to the opposite side without the wall to support to her. ]

[unbr8kable]

Hey-- Uh, maybe we should have a seat. Over there.

[pointing at the other side of the hall, she attempts to usher her over to--honestly anywhere is probably better than in front of the giblet box]
