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. ]

[ Honestly they weren't going to get any better than this. AND EVEN IF SHE DISAGREED. she knows that hurricane was probably just as worried as she was. She's hugging him back quite fiercely. ]

Have you seen Nemesis yet?

Nah. Think - think she might've missed this one.

Good. If anyone deserves a break from this madness, it's her.

No. But Cardigan made it out okay. So maybe he just wasn't here today.

[ she'd. kind of prefer that, actually; if he never had to know she had her head blown off--that would probably be better. ]

[Same feel, dude. Same feel.]

Fingers crossed, right?

Right. ... Are we keeping this a secret?

[ might as well just. make sure it's clear between the two of us. ]
crossmyheartandhope: (Just shine a light into the wreckage)

I mean. I'm not in a hurry to tell Nem.

She kinda had a bad time last time I lost my head.

Right.... Raijuu lost it and murdered Whisky the one time my throat was torn out too.



Let's just keep this one to ourselves.

[ surely this will in no way backfire. ]

Sounds good to me.
