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. ]

[Fuck. Why is it always getting eaten alive?

Like the other FiN around, there are acid burn marks as if something was trying to dissolve him. And he just---

Doesn't feel like getting up for a second]

[420blazeit]

[ she's had to henshin, because her eyeballs don't work, but that's what she gets for staring directly into an explosion. she's standing over him though, staring down at him. ]

Who thought they could so easily ruin space.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Without even looking up]

What an abysmally cliche and incorrect representation of science.

[420blazeit]

But it was spot on for a TV adaptation. A SyFy original.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Did that---

[Pointing at her armor]

Help?

[420blazeit]

It helps now. [ sage nod. ] As long as it's on.

[ she dehenshins for a moment, so he can see just how shit she actually looks. her eyes are a milky white, because she's stupid, and there are all sorts of scars covering her body, an especially nice one spanning her face. few spots of dried blood around her ears and on the corner of her lips. ]

Can't keep it up forever though. [ fingerguns in hopefully his direction. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

[Jesus dVa]

What's wrong with your eyes?

[420blazeit]

Our proton reactor went critical and instead of running I just stood there, stared it down, and flipped it the fuck off. I had some cool shades, but I gave them to Silence.

...

What do my eyes look like anyway? [ she's going to accidentally bap herself in the face trying to find them. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Seared white.

...

[And then a laugh. Finding the imagery utterly amusing even though he knows their component should have been the thing to stop that]

You really are reckless.

[backstory]

[ Sometime after he's at least drawn himself together enough to numb his own pain. He's covered in blood, nails caked with it, and blood covering his face.

But he's managed to crawl over, somehow. ]

Can I numb the pain?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

...

Do you White Mages ever not work overtime?

[That's not a no]

[backstory]

Somehow we're resilient like that, I guess.

[The faint smile doesn't hide the evidence that he's been crying though. Regardless, he reaches out to him, merely catching his leg. A faint, pink glow emanates from his hands and spreads up to slowly engulf him. It should halt the pain, even if he may feel a little strange as a result. ]

Who else from your unit needs help? I saw Duality earlier...

[ He should find him too. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Duality. And Silence - she has...

[Wait, what the fuck is Silence's hair color]

Blue hair. Will be wearing a space outfit, though that not might be a good indicator at the moment.

[backstory]

[ A quiet nod. ]

I will look for them. If you find them before I have and their pain has not been numbed, then please contact me.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Without pulling out his phone, Levi is going to be transferred 500 points for the healing fee]

How many of you were in the game? Maybe you should call some of your buddies for back-up.

[backstory]

[ It will be a surprise when he sees it. ]

Myself, Lucifel, and Nya.

[They were all stuck here for the terrible event.]

Persephone is here now. He helped me and I assume he is trying to help others.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Good. Then don't push yourself too hard.

You're not a machine.

[malignstar]

[ This is so hard to respond to when you can't lie but also know someone hates pity ]

Someone's trying to make your dragon jealous...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Just laughs]

How do you figure that?

[malignstar]

All the burning. Want a hand?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Tentacle-slime monster. Not even close to a dragon.

[And well.

He's not saying no to the offer. Is that something?]

[malignstar]

Yeah, that's pretty out there.

[ Carefully lifting him to his feet ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You and yours turn out okay?

[malignstar]

Looks that way. I missed this one. I'm just doing field work right now.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

...

[Oh boy]

Your unit gonna be fucked up from survivor's guilt again?
