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 ]

No. . . not. Really?

[seems a bit bewildered that C is offering him?? something?]

Why are you asking? Is it a "sorry your head blew up" gift?
neigh_sayer: (i mean okay your loss)

[personal profile] neigh_sayer 2019-02-06 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Please, if that's what I wanted to get you I'd get you a balloon and draw your face on it.

No, you're part of my organization. Even if I can't protect you guys, I still have to look out for you in other ways.

[WHISPERS SHIT A BALLOON WITH HIS FACE ON IT IS SO GOOD???]

[but beyond that, he seems pretty bewildered. like he didn't really expect to get anything out of joining up with this organization except some fun banter and a few points]

. . .

Really?

[COMPLETELY FLOORED]
neigh_sayer: (Oooor)

[IDEAS FOR LATER

but! he just rocks on his heels, tilting his head]

Mmhmmmm. Did you think I was lying? Neeheehee, way to stereotype an Alcheme! I may not have much, or any, control around here, but for what I can do, I intend for my things to be treated with care.

[personal profile] foolmetwice 2019-02-08 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[. . . oh my god]

You realize you can just buy the stuff from the store yourself, right? For way cheaper than 500 points?

If you're giving me this much I'm charging a 400 point delivery fee.
neigh_sayer: (YOSH)

[personal profile] neigh_sayer 2019-02-08 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Woah, that's a fourth of what the other guy charged me!


Deal!
