ENDGAME

[cascadingfailure]

Who: ALL FRIENDS
Where: Game Tower!
When: Day 133, Evening

[ And the game ends!

And you find yourself all in the tower, mangled or not. You'll find that you have a mixture of wounds from both rounds of the game, as well as all of your memories of both rounds. As for NafunAI...

Well, she seems to not be around anymore, but her voice (though a bit louder and more robotic) booms through the room, informing you of what's up: ]

THIS GAME'S WINNERS ARE:
BARiTONES, WILD CITY, avante en garde, Heart Soldier Senshi, and sensitIV!

THIS UNIT HAS ALSO TABULATED AUDIENCE VOTES. ULTIMATELY, LILIS WON FOR OUTSTANDING MORAL FIBER, AND A FLAWLESS GAME. TAISHO ALMOST SURPASSED THEM, BUT THE VOTES WERE NOT IN THEIR FAVOUR. THEY LOSE.

ALSO LILIS' EXAMPLE OF WORKERS BEING ABLE TO HAVE NICE LIVES HELPED FAN THE FLAMES OF THE WORKER'S REVOLT EVERYONE PARTLY DIED IN LATER. PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT WAS COOL! SUPER, SUPER, SUPER COOL!

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING! ⭐

[ Yaaay! ]

[finds her and kneels down by her, wherever she is sulking.]

[earthquaked]

[ leash ur zomboids

She manages to pause a moment at that-- trying to parse the words... ]

... fffucking hun... gry.

[we_meet_again]

How's your pain? Did the game heal you or are you still injured?

[I mean... aside from the frostbite, which is visibly still there]

[justicebewon]

I can cook.

[iamverybadass]

[ This was really not a good game for anyone. Talon shifts a little, turning just enough to glance up at him, and makes a sound somewhere in between a sob and a laugh ]

J-Jesus Christ yourself. How...how're you...?

[ Gestures weakly at Hurricane in general. Why would you not wait for a healer dude ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, for us neither.

Pro tip: stealing from the tax dude gets you shot, and scamming your asshole landlord's good for jail time.

[wonderlandgirl]

No--

[She tries to find him, too, reaching out blindly with her own hand, fingers brushing against his own and for a long and stupid moment she marvels, simply marvels over how warm he seems compared to her. She wants to bask in it, to close her eyes again and let herself drift; she wishes she were in bed.]

S-sorry I shouted...

[justicebewon]

Luna. Only when I'm like this, though.

...

Or, you know. But yeah, I wanna go home. This place is -- it's bad.

[crossmyheartandhope]

S'cool, we got that one power. Can keep going pretty much no matter what.

You want me to go get you someone?

[nihilmancy]

I-I'm glad you weren't there.

[She can't help but remember that horrible man of the "Guild" that Persephone killed, and all of his victims sold to have their souls eaten- and a world that was ruled by men like him, where people toil and suffer and die for such monsters.]

[earthquaked]

[ nnnno response.





Just kidding think fast there's a 9 foot crocodile swinging at you with its jaws. ]

[worldlyafflictions]

Wway higher than I wanna d-deal with [cheerful]--dunno how long w-we were dying for--at the end there, felt like there were multiple ggoes? But I guess at least that means nothing has ta be reatt-tached!

[Looks at his hand again]--probably!

[innerdaemons]

-- my apologies! Miss Luna.

Shall we head back, then?

[iamverybadass]

[ Well. That's a small relief.

Even with Cobalt's reassurance, Talon is still trying to quiet himself down with only middling success. He manages to calm down enough to stop outright sobbing, but there's lingering terror obvious on his face to keep the tears coming ]

You...weren't in it...?

[wonderlandgirl]

[She grabs Hiryuu's hand: it's strangely difficult. Her fingers are clumsy, still cold and half-numbed; they feel like a stranger's, but it's a comfort to have Hiryuu's hand in hers.]

You - you missed...

[Weren't there. Right?]

[forgottenmercy]

What, ah, happened?

[420blazeit]

[ she stands closely to make sure that he's able to do it without immediately toppling over. ]

I'm... I'm glad...

You had me really worried, Lucifel.

[justicebewon]

Holy --

[ THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNEXPECTED

there's. no time to pull out her bow so she actually just reflexively puppets Plover to hold her in place ]

[forgottenmercy]

[nods] ...then I should, ah, do most of the healing in their place, then.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Wait what Part II]

You have a training room?

[avestan]

...

There are probably plenty of people who need it more than me.

[avestan]

...Did you use the numbing thing on yourself...?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

They what now?

[syncintohell]

Ah, yes, that trick of yours.

[ He doesn't mention the missing hand in favor of instead unhooking his axe from where he kept it holstered at his hip. ]

Would this be of any help to you?

[justicebewon]

Yeah.

[ clinging to him. ]
