Who: YOU
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 84 Evening ★ WHEN THE HIP PEOPLE PARTY ★

[You might just have bad luck today! ♪ ★ ♪

Whether you just suddenly trip right into a hole or walk through a door or maybe you just got the alert and walked there on your own, you end up straight into the game tower.

It's looking pretty wild with lights flashing everywhere and probably loud rave music playing in the background.

There's something extra different today though! On the screens, there's a weird dude on there spinning around in a chair, looking like he's having the time of his life!

Wait, who's this guy?]

[Sitting down against the wall once he gets down the elevators. Scrubbing a hand through he hair and glitter goes everywhere.

He's just going to park it here for a bit.]

[After he has bothered everyone else]

Done here?

Yes.

I've found a few things out I was going to discuss with you. Mostly about work. Ready to burn the midnight oil?

As if I have anything better to do? No one should be traumatized from this.

[Except B]

[Yeah. Looking over at B's direction. He'll talk to him later.]

Now don't make me feel bad.

[Heading towards the dorms and into Intensity's Lab.]

[Scene shift to the lab, where Intensity has piled up books regarding human nerves and electricity]

I was talking about my unit. But I guess I should have worried about you being traumatized.

Why?

[Taking note of the books.]

You've been talking to Nya. I had him recreate what he saw in the vid room. I'll send over the pictures.

[Holding up a hand.]

Before we discuss that. I want to discuss something else. Something more pressing. I want to change endgame and the vow I made to make sure you make it there.

Talk to Nya about wha---

What?

I'll take that as a yes.

It's has come to my attention that Heaven's offer is not one I can take or not one I'm willing to take. It is off the table. That means we have to keep this literal hell running after we overthrow the Producers. I know that was one of the potential options, but I'm making it a requirement now.

If you are agreeable to that, I feel like I have to throw a little into the betting pool that I have been. I'll update my vow to ensure you not only make it to endgame, but you cross the finish line.

That was always my intention.

There's no way this whole elaborate scheme doesn't serve some sort of cosmic purpose - especially since we now know it connects to multiple realities. Plus there are a lot of dead people here who can't take Heaven's Blessing. This also gives us leverage with the Damned who can't take it to assist us in overthrowing the producers.

But why do you care -- I thought Heaven's Blessing was always off the table for you.

It was always an option. A less preferable option, but an option nonetheless. But now I'm almost certain that I'm one of those dead people. And not simply trapped in an artifact, but dead dead.

[Pauses.]

If we overthrow them, who knows what will happened to the damned. Perhaps the will go back to their proper homes. And the damned are just tools anyway. In an ideal world we'd be able to release everyone, but that just isn't reality.

. . .

You saw Yugi's memory.

I did. Luckily, I don't think he put two and two together.

I noticed you weren't invited to the party, but I figure once you heard what they had planned you probably told them off for being idiots.

I don't know the specifics about everything that happened regarding that situation. Only that I was pretty fucking pissed off about it.

You're taking the fact that you're dead in stride. It's starting to make me think that maybe we all are in fact dead.

I'm not taking it in stride. My only options are to whine about it or do something about it. And I'd rather do the later. As much as I hate to admit it, my chances of making it out of this hell hole just dramatically decreased.

I probably got monologued at how immoral I was before I died, too. Glad I didn't get to see that part.

Yours, however, still seems to be intact. So I'm upping the ante, and it's time we got serious. It's time you talked to Mukuro.

. . .

And what do you hope to get out of such a conversation? I'll probably piss him off so that he hangs up on me within the first five minutes.

Could be.

We didn't know anything about Mukuro when we first talked to him. The team we sent in was right at the time. Now that we know he's a bastard, well, let's send someone with an attitude to match.

You can push people and get under their skin like others can't. Even if he does hang up with you within five minutes, at least we'll learn something from it.

That's an expensive 5 minutes. Especially since it seems like we just got a new host added to the mix.

New guy probably doesn't know nearly as much as Mukuro. He's graduated multiple times after all.

Do you want to do it or not? I'll fund it.

Fine. I'll do it. And attempt to fund half of it.

But don't expect me to be as fast as fucking AlcheME! and points gathering. I have other obligations.

You're doing me a favor talking to them. I don't need half, but I'm not going to be quick about it either. Though at least winning that last game helped.

. . .

Why don't you want to talk to Mukuro yourself?

You seem like a vengeance guy. Maybe you could bond over the best way to achieve it.

Well...

I was my second choice.

Not satisfying because you can't punch him through the phone?

You're the businessman. This is your field of expertise, not mine. But I say, let's give Mukuro another go. I think it is worth a try.

And now onto something else. How are you and Yugi getting along?
