Who: Exael and the Unlucky Contestants
Where: The Game Tower
When: 86, Evening

[ Between one step and the next the walls (or streets, or open air) around you changes. The sight before you is a room inside the game tower, a new pressure at your neck. Reaching up or looking at the people around you reveals it to be a collar, titanium with a small green blinking light set in the center. ]

[ the screen flickers on, on your cellphone. It's a half-second, blink and you miss it— Exael, chewing on a nail, looking uncharacteristically nervous— then the moment's gone and she waves both hands and smiles for the camera. ]

"Ladies, gentlemen, honored guests! Units of all stripes and sizes! I come offering you a game and a few familiar words, rearranged for the occasion!"

Her carnival barker demeanor shifts for a moment as she lowers her head to say: ] "Glory to the highest, and on earth peace—" [ her head snaps up, her pigtails bouncing with it, and she's grinning again, all pomp and energy ] "even if we're not getting much down here! So let's kick up a ruckus, put on a show, and see how much good goodwill alone can manage! If you wish to save your fellows, now is the time speak!"

[ The rules appear on your phones. ]

Don't say that. You've been very kind and worried for me. Anyone would be grateful for that.

...

If you wouldn't mind, maybe you could stop by my unit and see how they all were? Things were a little tense for us. It would be good for them to have someone who cares come by to check on them.

Is it? That's kind of nice to hear.

[ it's definitely not something she's USED to hearing or thinking about herself. ]

Yeah... you're not letting it get you down and you're not losing your faith in anyone. I think that's admirable.

[ dawning comprehension ] ...Ah.

It's not difficult to imagine why this situation might have brought that out for her, but...

...Do you want to find someplace to talk about what happened?

Without consensus?

[ Well.... maybe sometimes you just... need to have a bit of a breakdown? She's been there herself, about equally silly things. probably. ]

I don't know. We don't have any either. Do you want me to help you home?

[ crossing his arms ]

We were on the verge of running out of time, with no selection made. I thought it better we save someone than no one at all.

You don't have to say anything.

It brought out a lot of things for us in that room, apparently.

[ he sighs, seeming tired and...resigned, in a way.

He isn't sure if he should impose, but at the same time he can count the people he feels he can ask for some advice from or even simply just vent to on one hand. ]


...I-if you don't mind.

It could be categorized as a great degree worse than "so bad", yes.

....It's not that I've lost faith in anyone. I do believe that nobody particularly wanted us dead. We just weren't anyone's priority... That's not a bad thing. It is what it is.
