Who: Champions & Losers
Where: The Game Tower & the walk back home
When: Day 78 evening

[ Finally, the elevators open for everyone to leave. As they open to ground floor, confetti balls pop open from the ceiling, with "CONGRATULATIONS!" banners hanging in the lobby of the Game Tower.

The television screens are on this time, broadcasting some choice moments while radio announcers excitedly chatter - they're loud, but you can probably make out the audio from the television if you concentrate. Occasionally, the television also flips to a kill count tracker, as well as a ranking system.

"Listeners, this was sooo hard for us to choose. All the contestants were so good! But there can only be winners and losers, so here we go - "

"Up first, our most vicious underdogs! You cheered and cheered for them, listeners, and they heard your voices! It's ☆ZRAEL in first place, with the most kills! They did so well they even got a second category of most brutal murder - "

"It was the boat, right? It was totally the boat!"

"Couldn't it be the rock!? That was so brutal!"

"Well, that's ☆ZRAEL for you, they're sooo ruthless! So cute, best unit! ♥"

"wwww we have a ☆ZRAEL fan here wwww"

"Next up for most individual kills is avante en garde - Cardigan tooooooootally carried you guys wwww"

"Speaking of carry, did you see Whiskers with those strategic kills on WILD CITY!? He's a sneaky bastard!"

"Fucking bastard!"

"Yeah!"

"But my heart honestly broke when I saw A Bird With Blue Wings . . . AlcheME!, man . . . they just hit you straight in the heart with that most emotional kill. . . Damn. . ."

"Speaking of hearts, Heart Soldier Senshi - they were really good, huh? Best co-op kill of the game! Totally like O●●●wa●●●, right?"

"Yeah, it was like I was watching a match on O●●●wa●●●. I don't usually watch those though wwww"

"Last but definitely not least! sensitIV!"

"You know, they didn't do half bad."

"Yeah, it was honestly pretty average."

"But Nyarlathotep was so great! His struggle to survive! He'd even put more arms on himself to do it!"

"Do you think he could attach even more on himself? I want to see that, now!"

"Hahaha! Well, that's all the time we have for today listeners, but you should definitely watch all these choice moments - the audience picked them! Here comes our highlight reel!"

The chatter goes on, becoming indistinct and eventually fading out. The television screen is still playing the highlight reel, though.

☆ZRAEL, avante en garde, WILD CITY, AlcheME!, Heart Soldier Senshi, and sensitIV will find their wounds healing, leaving behind no scars - they'll also find 800 points in their bank, though ☆ZRAEL will find that they get a bonus for a total of 1000 points from this game. Everyone else will find 100 points in their bank, and they'll also have to get themselves their own healing.

Something to note though, is that Hurricane is missing. ]

[Blood and hair still cover most of what we will generously call "the scar", but it's obviously still there]

So how long were the two of you in the desert? The whole fucking time?

[eatsthecanary]

Ah. Since halfway through that little fight you were in the middle of.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You should charge more for those skills. You're seriously underselling yourself.

[eatsthecanary]

It's not like being a killer would be profitable outside of games.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yet. I'd say the community atmosphere has changed quite a bit from our last discussion on the topic.

[He's only half-joking.

Actually more like 30% joking]

[eatsthecanary]

Not that much, considering the way people reacted to Aries when your new guy arrived.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That was over two weeks ago. Practically ancient history by this point.

[eatsthecanary]

That's true, but people still seem very set against a bunch of killing outside of games. Games provide a justification.

1/2

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

[His head hurts too much for this]

Yes yes. Let's put a pin in it until the next game like this. Then I'll bring this topic up again.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Here have a round of applause for your performance]

Enjoy your winnings.

[eatsthecanary]

Thanks.

You didn't mind being shot in the head?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Painless death plus moderate painful having a headshot wound and being stuck in a room trumps answering Yugi's awkward interrogation and getting slowly zapped to death any day]

You did tell me I'd never see it coming.

[eatsthecanary]

I did. So you can't say I didn't warn you.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Perish the thought.

But if not for this little "best of" clip, would you have told me that it was your handiwork?

[eatsthecanary]

I wouldn't walk up to you and say I did but if you had asked me I wouldn't have said no.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Whisky. You really should take more pride in your handiwork.

Not to everyone, of course. I don't think most people would appreciate. But I do.

[eatsthecanary]

[ ha! ]

I figured, out of everyone, you would mind the least.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'm glad we've come to an understanding.

Because in the next game like that, I have to prove that my way of confrontation is superior. No hard feelings, right?

[eatsthecanary]

No hard feelings. It's not like I killed you out of a personal vendetta in the first place.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Of course. That would be stupid.

You might have a problem with King on Heart Soldier Senshi though. He and his facetwin have that bonded at the brain thing. So just giving you the heads up.

[eatsthecanary]

[ hm. ]

They did look similar. Is he the vengeful type?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Watch the highlight reel with the boat. And then you tell me.

[eatsthecanary]

That's a good point.

[ exhales ]

Well, whatever. I'll deal with it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Could tell Whisky that headshots also don't work on HSS that well, but nah. That'll be a fun thing to find out later]

I have no doubts you will.

[eatsthecanary]

People here still don't seem to eager to take revenge outside of games.
