Who: the idols in the game tower with the gunknife
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 89, evening

[ Once everyone has had time to let the straight up murders that occurred sink in, the room begins to glow with an intense light and then -- everything just shatters? The scenery seems to all just flake away until you find yourselves in a large solid white, empty room. The door leading to the Game Tower lobby and elevator is visible at one end.

In the center of the room is a floating, tiny bat winged girl. She looks kinda fake?? ]

Hello, hello, hello world! Thank you for participating in the beta test for this integrated host system! And to our viewers, thank you for watching! Please like, comment and subscribe, and don't forget to leave feedback on how to best improve this experience!

Congratulations to our idols! This was an exciting, exciting, exciting game of wits, but in the end it's clear who's the most clever! Let's get our dearly departed idols back up with a good cheer, everyone! One, two~!

[ At that the dead will find they've been revived, their wounds healing just enough that they don't immediately keel back over, but not enough that they're not still eating shit and dying.

As for those injured during the course of the game but left standing at the end, you're healed fully! ]

Again, thank you, everyone! And goodnight, goodnight, goodnight! ☆

[Crouching down next to them:]

Hell of a healing technique.

[Cardigan has always been the first on their feet after dying but now they just kind of stare vacantly in front of them and keep breathing for a few moments.

Finally:]

It's more reliable than Sensitiv.

[Good. They deserve a few minutes of rest before they are off to stab their unitmates back to health.]

That's a low bar.

[Settles down next to Cardigan, looking like he is going to say something else, but he doesn't. Instead he's just quietly giving them more time to recover]

I'm in the process of adjusting my expectations all around.

[They really do seem to need it; it takes them a few minutes to manage actual focus. Eventually, they put a hand on Intensity's shoulder, more to steady themself than him.]

We need to talk later.

Agreed. On both accounts.

[Tries to help them into a more comfortable position. For example, sitting instead of kneeling.]

Does your unit need anything?

[stares off a bit, being lightly man-handled....]

Nothing tangible.

Then just give yourself a fucking minute before you go fussing after the rest of avante.

[amused, they lean over and peck Intensity's cheek before using his shoulder to get up.]

You are way better at that than me.

Blah blah can't look after anyone until you look after yourself or some other inspirational poster worthy bullshit.

[Huffs and helps them to their feet as best they can]

. . .This wasn't how this was supposed to go.

No. [Their mouth presses into a thin line.] Sensitiv and Taisho biting us in the ass as usual. At least they got a taste of it this time.

Four - there were four units who either lied or withheld information.

[frowns, realizing they didn't get a good look at who all lived. ]

... Baritones. But who's the fourth?

Wild City. They also claimed to have a weapon.

[Cardigan looks pissed, a vast improvement]

At least three out of four got what was coming to them.

[Hi-five for anger being the best defense mechanism. Preach it]

Please don't tell me you think they'll see it as any more than the community failing them. Which it did. Spectacularly.

No, I think they're going to use it as further justification to be egocentric dicks.

[Just laughs out loud]

Of course. And the cycle continues.

But don't let me hold you too long, Commander. I think we're starting to tread on that "later" conversation which is best enjoyed with a vice or two.

Mm. [Straightens, letting go of his shoulder.]

Later then, Chief.
