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. ]
[ Rules ] [ Rooms ] [ Results ] [ Endgame, Revivals & Winners ]

--You're okay, then?

[ He looks relieved. So relieved he didn't think to answer the question. ]

[ COOL Cool cool cool cool. ]

[ Sho is exiting FiN's elevator with his hood pulled up close around his neck, but there's no hiding the blood splattered all over the upper half of his clothes. In fact, he's making a point to wipe it off the plastic of his hoodie as he waits for other FiNs to corral to the exit. ]

[ lucifel actually spends a few moments in sensitIV's room looking at the collar in complete amazement, breath quick and faint; he doesn't notice it himself at first, but tears spring from the corners of his eyes in a rush as his fingers rub at his neck roughly, nails digging in to scratch at the intact flesh

later, after he's gotten the crying all out of his system, he's taking the elevator to look for people with injuries, eyes red ]

[Wednesday is whole. Unbloodied. Entirely, in fact, unharmed.

[She's been crying all the way down, and she doesn't know why. She's relieved, she's guilty, she's regretful, she's utterly overwhelmed: it doesn't matter that she's got know idea where home is, she still wishes she was back there more than anything. She should have fought harder, shouldn't she? Should have been better, should have been stronger, should have stood her ground--

[But if she had, if she had: what then? What about B, what about Rise?

[Oh, God. Everything's awful. She wants to go home.]
