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. ]

Yes. [ frank, and perhaps surprisingly lacking in bitterness ]

To not be hated... it is not the same as love. In the end... we voted to save the ones we thought would be sure to die without us.

....W-what?!

It's true. You guys always get the shit end of the deal Every time. You get possessed by demons and killed and you lose and lose all the time! I don't get it! You're all better people than... than me. M-maybe not Nine, but that doesn't mean I don't care about him too or think that he deserves better!

....Hiryuu-san? Are you okay?

[ Tatsuya is walking out himself, a bit unsteadily. He's shirtless and his neck and shoulders are covered in blood-- the jacket and shirt he's carrying in his arms are clean, however. His voice is scratchy and rough. ]

I guess now's the time I find mine, then.

[She smiles, a little more genuinely. It doesn't sound such a bad way to be.]

It's really all right? Just... trying to be normal, while we can? I - I think I'd like to do that, if I can. Because there's nothing I can do about the games, but... all the rest of the time is our own, isn't it?

....We're not, though. Good people I mean. Maybe Phoenix is, but... We've hurt people and caused suffering just as much as anyone else here. We don't deserve any more or less consideration than anyone else... It makes sense for people to protect those important to them.

[ He plucks idly at the seam of his pants. ]

But it.... really means a lot to me that you think that.

[But that's hardly enough. He had been utterly useless in protecting her and Abi both. Raijuu, too. Gently, he cradles her head against him, his own head tipped in against her shoulders. He doesn't care if she soaks his shirt. He couldn't let go for anything.]

I tried-- [A broken sound. He swallows thickly, shaking his head against her.] I voted to protect Heart Soldier Senshi, but it wasn't enough.
