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. ]

The cat girl.

[Can't miss her. She's one of BARiTONES' bouncers. Also just acts like a cat, so.]

I did, yes. [Brushes a lock of hair from his face.] There is someone on avante who I'd prefer to keep their head.

Oh...

[She knows he hates everyone and wants them to die, even if he cares about her that doesn't change that, but hearing him say he isn't going to kill her, especially after she left him hanging, strikes Rise right in the heart.]

...Really? Even, feeling the way you do... I know you can't help it, so... I'm really happy to hear you say that.

No one did anything! What does that ma-a-tter! I always hate you!!

I wasn't even in the game, but a shower sounds pretty good right now.

[He doesn't want to rush him, so Cobalt's going to follow Sanguine's lead and wait until he makes the first move hotel-ward.]

Really?

[ ???? Did something happen ???? ]

[personal profile] sonof 2019-02-02 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Eeverything. Everything hurts.

[ sniff ]

For you too, doesn't it?
calmthefoxdown: (Yeah maybe you should suck a d-)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2019-02-02 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Taking it. ]

Thanks.

How's the team?

[personal profile] motorcycle_noises 2019-02-02 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
No kidding, right? There's really nothing like a shower.

[ He starts walking towards towards the exit. ]

By the way, I've been meaning to mention... I'm actually switching over my name to Tatsuya now.

Mmm. I'm just being dumb, nothing happened.

Talon's asleep. Feel a little better?
calmthefoxdown: (Continue with the lecture.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2019-02-02 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright... I'll wait for you at the court then.

I appreciate the gesture. Besides the walk will give me time to think.
calmthefoxdown: (Please turn off the sun.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2019-02-02 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, yeah. My head's more cleared up now.

You?
shutthefoxup: (Do you still believe in one another?)

Re: RESULTS, END GAME

[personal profile] shutthefoxup 2019-02-02 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too. I'm really, really grateful.

I'm not angry with you.

[quiet, but he means it

it's another moment before he figures out how to put the rest, though]


...It's laughable, isn't it? Whenever I've tried to assert an opinion, I've tended to regret the result that came of it. So I thought that if I didn't, if I just let things happen as they would, then maybe...

[Maybe he could not regret the outcome, for a change. Not desperately look for something he could have done to make things go differently. Better.]
liarliarliar: (Not because I want to.)

[To think she was worried about his feelings on such an issue. He pulls back finally if only to check her eyes--- to look her in the face and ensure that she really is here and alive before him.]

I don't care what anyone else thinks about me.

[Brows knitting, he continues to hold her, and his head dips, tired, to gently rest against her forehead. It's his job to be worrying about her. But since his arrival, it has been the princess who has been worrying over and trying to protect him. He needs to step up.]

Princess.

[Quietly, lashes fanning his cheeks, eyes closed again.]

This mistake won't happen again.

[He'll see to it.]
shutthefoxup: (Do I need to lie to make my way in life)

Took a breather, got Talon settled, turned some people into cats....my heart is done racing like crazy at least.

[ He actually stops moving at that, staring at Sunshine in wide-eyed confusion. ]

Ah? What are you talking about?
