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 ]

[ she just can't even begin to comprehend how he could ask that question of her when she recently killed thorn. EVEN KNOWING HE CARES ABOUT HER TOO. it just feels... incomprehensible.

also... the things that would really make her life better--having nathan and shuten back--they're not really things that he can grant her, though his sentiment is no less sweet. ]

Okay. If there's something--you'll be the first to know.

Okay.

[ it's surprisingly easy to give him a heartfelt smile in spite of the conversation and the surrounding circumstances. maybe because she genuinely wishes him well? ]

You too, Cobalt. Please don't forget to take care of yourself as well.

[He smiles back]

I will. Thanks!

[Gives her a little wave and then heads back off into the crowd]
