Who: YOU
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 111, Evening which is the best time to go CLUBBING

[Today you step out of the elevator, but as soon as you do, you’ll find yourself falling into a room that is basically a giant ball pit but with balloons. Trying to move around is a pain in the ass and might require a little swimming. Left is on the holo screens looking really proud of himself. You can see exactly what he's thinking:

What a genius. What a professional. Dang.

Like last time, the music is really loud and fast, and might remind you of the arcade a little bit. They match up with the crazy strobe lights that seem to be pulsating all around you.

It might make your heart race.]

What's the rush?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Now that is surprising.

[Ignoring his question]

You look like shit.

[liftoft]

Ha, yeah! Guess we played it a little too safe.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

...

[Squints at.

You're still bleeding]

Doesn't matter. Playing hard doesn't necessarily get you across the finish line either.

[liftoft]

[ wipes his sleeve across his mouth, the dark blue and purple of his Alcheme robes doing a great job of hiding the bloodstain that leaves; who's still bleeding? Nobody here ]

Sure, sure--anyway, sorry. Pretty sure you were one of the teams we picked, one of the rounds.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And?

[Look, my friend, we got hit 9 times. The people who didn't hit us are in the minority]

[liftoft]

Just wish I could tell you for sure, that's all. It's like... I'm not sayin' you have to care one way or another about who hits you in games, but I still think you deserve to know, y'know? So whenever we have to pick Fin for something, I wanna let you know--but I can't actually remember this time, so I'm sorry.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

...

Why can't you remember?

Did a rainbow get lodged in your brain or some shit?

[liftoft]

Wow, rude! There was just a lot going on, that's all. I wasn't really payin' attention aftwr the first round.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Which isn't like you.

...

Is this about Maki's memory?

[liftoft]

... You saw that shit too, huh? I was just tryin' to get C to... I dunno. I dunno what I wanted from him. Didn't go well, whatever it was.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes...

Does it change your opinion of C? That memory.

[liftoft]

... Not really.

I don't actually think it's him in there. Or if it is, there's somethin' else goin' on. Or... Whatever, but "I'm dead and C is a huge mastermind taunting everyone over killin' me" just doesn't make sense to me.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Does that mean you don't think C can best you?

[liftoft]

It means I don't think he can impersonate me loke that, and I don't think he's so bad at plannon' that he'd end up in that situation.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

Do you think you're both in the suit?

[Look, C is fucking tiny okay]

[liftoft]

[ he's so tiny.]

I dunno. That's one of the things I've been considering. I've been tryin' to think up all the explanations I can, but I didn't really get very far before all this happened.
