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. ]

Well... I look up to her. She's very strong, nice and determined.

No problem. Try to rest a little, okay?

Good... probably the best we can do. Poor Wednesday.

. . . Fucking good.

You're not broken up about that, are you?

What do I always tell you? I don't do anything I don't want to.

What are you talking about? I'm perfectly sane.

[Laughs]

And space cadet and out there are exactly my point. Most don't engage with the politics at large. It's too troublesome. And so therefore they have no opinion when it comes to these types of games.

Other games - such as bumper cars and other social games for example - they do just fine.

Don't worry about it. It was dumb and I don't want to accidentally put ideas into your head.

Do I look like a person with low self-esteem to you?!

It's nice to be considered! Let me express my gratitude, okay? Gosh.

Mm, in general. She's the kind of person who makes firm decisions and stays true to herself, even when things are looking bad.

My friend from home was like that, too.

Ah, so that is the kind of person you like.

[personal profile] inspiteful 2019-02-03 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess it's not really worth the effort...

...I'll probably go spend some time in Alcheme, but I'll be back before bed.
crossmyheartandhope: (But if you lift your eyes)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-02-03 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
I'd do it again.

You could say that... They're not that similar, though. She's very considerate-- my friend from home wasn't like that at all!

[ Sighs and rubs at the side of his neck ]

I was just thinking about how you guys were after the trial. I was worried you might think the last bad game made things worse.

Naturally, they would not be the same. But the the key aspect is.
