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. ]

I didn't say I wanted that.

Which guy is it?
avestan: That's unscrupulous! (You sold his eyes!)

Oh. I see.

[That makes sense, he was just as distraught as Rise at the beheading, wasn't he?]

...What do you want now, D☆☆dl☆m☆n-s☆n? If you offered to stay away from him, I imagine you're not telling me you're leaving me for him.
avestan: conceptual whiplash...! (I'm getting whiplash...)

I told you, didn't I? I wanna stay with you.

It's... there's a lot of people here who are dating more than one person. But if that's not something you'd be okay with, I get it, and I'll respect it. You're more important.

[...Rise leans over and pecks him on the cheek.]

You’re important to me too. I know that you wouldn’t want to hurt me like that, and I’m happy.

But I don’t want to deny you someone you like too. You know, I’ve only really spoken to Lucifel-san in passing. It would be nice for me to get to know him properly too.
avestan: Sir, I love you too. (Sir this is not a good time for hugs.)

[...blink]

Wait, you're... you're saying you're okay with it? Seriously?

[Nudges against him, voice light]

Well, I want to check him out first. I have to make sure he’s good enough for you, not just anyone gets to date my boyfriend.

But if he passes... I think it would be okay. It wouldn’t be like we were any less... right?
avestan: (I ran outta punch juice!)

Right. I don't like you any less or anything like that.

[reaches out to touch her cheek]

But... honestly, I thought for sure you'd be angry, or upset.
