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. ]

No. But it’s not like we could have known we should have made an alliance before the game. [ he looks aside. ] I don’t mind forfeiting my own safety for the sake of someone else, but not everybody feels the same… and it’s not like I can expect them to, not when dying is… well… I’m sure you can imagine.

We can talk about it though.

It didn’t seem like it. Rise was really adamant about choosing AlcheMe! But I’m sure it’d be hard to trust that someone else will do it when under the gun. [ shakes his head. ]

Ah?

[ He gives her a baffled look. ]

I'm really not.

[ He pulls out his lighter and flicks it open and shut. ]

Oh, and I'm switching over to "Tatsuya," just so you know.

[Looks appeased by that answer]

Then I'll catch you later.

[For some awkward times in FiN. Look forward to that]

I am glad you do not. It sounds as though their opinion is not worth caring about.

I don't mind that. I just think... it might be a lot to expect him to be comfortable with that. And, uh, I still have to tell him about the other thing...

No. We don't get a lot of choices, and when we do, they tend to be bad ones.

Or at the very least just didn't give a damn about us. Even if it's not actively "hate."

[. . . snort]

Time to buy new clothes, I guess. . . for both of us.

No.

[IMMEDIATELY]

If I had to die in such a stupid way, I want to keep the scar.

There isn't a lot to say.

[????????]

Really?

[is that because none of her friends died or because she has no friends. he's thinking about this now]

--eh? [looks genuinely surprised!! mars plz]

Are you--you know what you're saying, right? It's a huge liability.

Because of sensitIV?

Don't care. I'm not afraid of them.

Neither am I but it's a really pesky move to get around. . .[huff]

Well, do you want something else?

Yeah, I guess. It's annoying to keep ruining outfits with blood and having to buy new ones... especially because Taisho hasn't won a game in forever. It kind of adds insult to injury.

[she... tries to have a joking tone to her voice, at least]
foolmetwice: (pic#12834249)

[personal profile] foolmetwice 2019-02-06 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
No. . . not. Really?

[seems a bit bewildered that C is offering him?? something?]

Why are you asking? Is it a "sorry your head blew up" gift?
neigh_sayer: (i mean okay your loss)

[personal profile] neigh_sayer 2019-02-06 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Please, if that's what I wanted to get you I'd get you a balloon and draw your face on it.

No, you're part of my organization. Even if I can't protect you guys, I still have to look out for you in other ways.
