Endgame: ViewScream

[errours]

Who: spacefaring idols and friends
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 130, evening

[ And then, you’re back in the central room of THEMiS, alive if rather unceremoniously deposited on the ground. Next to you, folded neatly, are the unit clothes you probably changed out of earlier.

Your injuries, if you had any, have already healed, but it may take you a moment to realize that because none of the pain of them has disappeared; it’s just as awful as when it was happening—and faint scarring remains as a lingering reminder. Think of it as a space souvenir!

Speaking of souvenirs!

Everyone seems to have a little enamel pin secured to their shirt or jacket: black with silver writing, how classy!

Pep!pep!, Taisho Roman Revolution, future is now, WILD CITY, ☆ZRAEL, Heart Soldier Senshi, AlcheME!, avante en garde, and BARiTONES have ones that read, “I Survived THEMiS!”
LiliS, sensitIV, and BAD END=DEAD END instead receive the highly coveted rare collectible “DIED IN SPACE” pin.

AlcheME!, Taisho Roman Revolution, and pep!pep! have been stuck with silver holographic star stickers reading WINNER—and indeed members of those units will find 800 points have been added to their accounts.
...Avante en garde members also have cute little pastel star stickers that cheerily proclaim, “A for Effort!”

...As for your host, she spins around in her captain’s chair to face you all again, tossing a handful of gold and silver glitter. ]

Wasn’t that just incredible? The passion you all displayed! The daring escapes! The tragic deaths!

[ a happy sigh ]
It was truly such a joy to be your host today.

Ciao! ♡

[ And with that, she disappears in a cloud of smoke that leaves a lingering smell of incense and honey. ]

2/3 actuallyyyyy

[foolmetwice]

[jesus motherfucking christ on a pony]

[taking one look at Joker, and. . . even through the searing pain that tears through his scars, the pieces click together and he can kind of glean what just happened]

[foolmetwice]

[. . . . . . . . . . .]

[stumbles towards him, tripping over his (aching) feet and plopping onto the ground next to where Joker lies, laughing his creepy little head off]

Hey.

. . . fuck your self-fulfilling prophecy.

[criminaljustice]

[man he's fine. he's just

IT'S SO FUNNY???

and Mars's comment only makes him snicker and laugh harder, honestly.]

[foolmetwice]

[. . . h. . . hhhhhha]

[his own mouth twitches as Joker's laughter increases, the barest of smiles curving up the corners of his lips]

[but to his credit, he doesn't laugh]

[. . .]

[in fact, he bites his tongue before he even starts. gonnnnnnna. . . just. wait on on you, buddy. until you're done]

[mapsio]

[ WHAT IF I AM ALSO HORRIFIED AT THIS. ]

Joker!

[ fuck phantom pains?! ]

[criminaljustice]

[Ahhhhhahahahaa--I MEAN. HE CALLED IT? HE REALLY FUCKING CALLED IT.

sure wishes he could chill out but also HE'S ALIVE AGAIN and no there's only hysterical laughter for a bit. look, it's fine it's fine it's fine--he's pushing himself off the ground, at least. kinda. hard to do that when you're too busy convulsing with laughter]

[mapsio]

[ fuck it man.

Cupping his cheeks. ]

Joker.

[ keep laughing babe get it all out she’s here. ]

[criminaljustice]

[ah ah aha... something on his face something on his face--

except it doesn't hurt--except for the new skin that's sensitive but it takes another minute for his eyes to focus, looking more wild and uncomprehending for that minute, but then the laughter kind of... dissolves into confused, almost nervous giggles.

newly-unfrozen and refleshed fingers gonna reach out to her, though]

--over? It's over?

[searingedgelord]

[What the fuck. Rushing over]

Joker?

[criminaljustice]

[mad, hysterical laughter is what's the fuck.

that and frozen, melted body bits reforming.

this is... all fine...]

[searingedgelord]

[This is not fine.

She actually has no idea what to do to help. Does he even have hands she can hold right now]

[420blazeit]

Joker! [ shit. he's lost his fucken mind. ok, she can do this. going to help in 3... 2... 1.... ]

[ she makes her way over at the pace of a snail. ]

[criminaljustice]

[IT'S FINE IT'S FINE

PRIM IS WORKING ON GETTING HIM TO CHILL AND FOCUS

... but in fact, did lose his shit a little and is still giggling kind of... madly, but look. if you knew the joke, you'd laugh, too.]

[420blazeit]

[ as soon as she's over there she's going to grab at hi- no. fuck. ] Joker! [ hisses through her teeth and reaches for his arm. this should be safe... ish. ]

Look at me. [ WHAT PART OF THIS IS FINE?! ]

[fullbodied]

[no, no, no...

North makes it in halting steps, and then collapses next to him

she just.

she doesn't know, she can barely think straight, her head hurts so much.]

Joker...?

[criminaljustice]

[by this point, he's gone from hysterical, unhinged laughter to manic giggles to being sick all over the floor and almost whimpering with horrible My Innards Were Liquified And This Is Even Worse Than Usual trauma leaving him shaking really hard.]

[fullbodied]

[they're gross. she doesn't care.

this is all gross.

she just falls forward to hug him, and starts sobbing.]

[artisticliberty]

[fox had just arrived at the game tower, after he realized that joker and prim weren't with him, and for a moment he stops cold in his tracks when he sees joker, horrified.

and then he's at his side, cautiously touching his shoulder, trying to hold back his own furious trembling]

Joker. Joker, can you hear me?

[criminaljustice]

[well, he's at least gotten to the being sick and gross crying stage of the whole process, so hearing Fox's voice just kind of sends bad brains into overdrive--OH FUCK OH FUCK HE WASN'T HERE, WAS HE? WAS HE?

hope you enjoy grossly crying boyfriends looking at you with utter sickening terror?]

[artisticliberty]

[DO NOT LIKE]

Joker, it is me. It's Yusuke. Please say something, if you can.

[he looks entirely unhurt, just worried]

[malignstar]

[ None of this looks remotely good ]

Joker... ?

[criminaljustice]

[he is having A Time...

it involves some wig outs, some vomitting, some crying, and generally just being a fucking mess. how ya doing, Sunshine?]

[malignstar]

Joker!
