Game: ViewScream

[errours]

Who: spacefaring idols!
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 130, late afternoon

[ There’s a musical chime from your phone. And then the world around you goes black.
—And cold. And then speckled with points of light—more and more, a shimmering tapestry of stars—

…Then, abruptly, there’s hard metal beneath your feet, the cold gone, and you’re in a wide room done in steel and chrome. Flickering computer monitors are set into the walls amidst switches and panels.

Is this the future is now dorm? Heart Soldier? No, the thick windows show you to be surrounded, still, by stars: This is a spaceship. Or, rather, it’s the Game Tower as a spaceship. Text scrolls across the various screens:

Welcome, THEMiS crew.
Contact with anomaly in: 40 minutes.

Seated across from all of you at the front of the room, in a swiveling chair that suggests a captain’s seat, is a red-haired woman in a cream silk dress with a high slit up the thigh. Her crossed legs are covered in burn scars up to just above her knees, but her smile is all relaxed confidence. ]


Welcome, idols. I’m so pleased to be your Host today.

[ looking like a sickly wreck, and also has his eyes closed at the comms desk for some reason, but messaging: ]

There are at least four people who need our aid— AlcheME, Wild City, Pep Pep, and Heart Soldier Senshi.

We cannot aid all of them on our own. Respond.

Re: TRR to fin

[resonantblue]

Roger. We are already providing Heart Soldier Senshi with aid.

Re: TRR to fin

[syncintohell]

Your prompt answer is— [coughing, again] appreciated.

Re: TRR to fin

[resonantblue]

Do not give all of your resources to the other units. Please make sure you are engaging in trades. You do not seem to be doing well, after all.

Re: TRR to fin

[syncintohell]

That is, unfortunately, not an option. Two of the units that require our help have nothing to offer us in return.

Re: TRR to fin

[resonantblue]

[oh no]

So you are selfless in nature.

Re: TRR to fin

[syncintohell]

I would like to save my unit, but to attempt trades now would renege on the agreement we have made with you here, non? We must simply come to them empty handed.

[ stubborn, for all that he's pale and not looking super great ]

[sssighs, just looking sad over here]

...roger.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And have identified the other two units who need Engineering. We should have everyone covered.

[syncintohell]

With Heart Soldier Senshi covered, then we should be aiding AlcheME, Wild City, and Pep Pep. With that, all units are covered.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Watching the conversation with Silence.

You really live up to your ideals, Kuzuebiko.

Best of luck to you.

[syncintohell]

[ Leans slightly forward, since doing his usual deep bow is not happening in the comms chair ]

My life is easily laid down, but my ideals are not easily set aside.

[ If it wasn't for Kaguya also being there, it's questionable if he'd even be trying to find the solutions for his unit's problems ]

May future is now also do well.
