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: ]

[ Nitro just shakes his head, waving his remaining hand in a dismissive gesture ]

I remembered him. I should be thankin' you for looking out for him.

[stakesthesame]

... ? Hurricane's hurt way worse than me, you should hang with him, right?

I'll be okay.

[syncintohell]

They were temporary afflictions. Neither would have killed me immediately, and if I were to die freezing to death is one of the more beautiful ways to go.

[ Annoyed that he's belaboring the point ]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Looking around,]

Are you the only BAD END here? The hell?

[unbr8kable]

Slashing...why?

And I dunno. Maybe not after this long. Or maybe if you attached one and then cut the seam or something...? Would have to experiment.

[wonderlandgirl]

Cobalt-san... he--

[sensitIV...

[She can't see. Not lying on her front, and no matter how awkward it might be she doesn't have the strength or the fortitude to turn herself over. But - but they won, didn't they? She thinks of Levi; she wants to see him. She wonders where he is. Did something happen...?]

He's getting someone. It's okay.

[dienamite]

[ Left! Which is unfortunate since he's left handed. ]

Yeah... I'll get it fixed soon as people are on their feet again.

[forgottenmercy]

[and going to kneel down next to him, having been fetched by Hurricane. gentle touch to numb him, and then starts healing what he can.]

[justicebewon]

Did you numb yourself.

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, can, yes. [and goes running off that way.]

[dienamite]

'cause I thought it'd be easier than stabbing.

.......We could try, but it's a waste of the replacement if it doesn't work, isn't it?

[syncintohell]

It is not needed. I allowed him to do largely as he liked, though his behavior within the opera house was quite disruptive, but I could hardly do the cruelty of demanding he leave because of minor transgressions.

[ Folding his arms and shaking his head, realizing he's gotten off on a tangent. ]

Furthermore, he does not seem easy to get along with. If, despite that, you valued him in the past I still thank you for treasuring him in the past and not turning your back on him now.

But if you insist, we can call it even.

[sunflowering]

Shu...san...

[ She's limp in his arms. She can't seem to get half her body to move. She's disorientated though as he lifts her up. Her entire world remains black. ]

O-Okami-san... he was with me.

[ Is he alright? Shu has to find him. It doesn't answer the question, but she's not very articulate right now and so explaining is hard. She tries again, though. ]

There....there was another game. [She manages a cheerless smile.] We didn't do so well, huh?

[worldlyafflictions]

[Nice, staggering upright then--and at least the change in orientation is helping spark more awareness of people around him--though he clearly only just noticed he was being spoken to]

Wh--ah... right--? we're... [trying to focus] w-we died...

[iamverybadass]

[ Oh thank god. He lets out a trembling sound and finally actually relaxes once the pain is gone ]

Thank you.

[iamverybadass]

[ Hurricane is a hero ]

[wonderlandgirl]

Thank you.

[Maybe it's all right if she just keeps her eyes closed, and concentrates on breathing...

[It can't just be her. A game like this - she can tell from the sound of the voices that bubble up around her, the urgency of the footsteps, the tension and the fear, that she and Pink and Sunshine are not alone in needing help. She's being selfish, to expect him to hurry. To think she won't have to wait.

[She can wait. She can be patient...

[She just wishes it didn't hurt so much, and grits her teeth.]

[syncintohell]

I have seen him. I sent our newest to his side.

[ He says, not managing calming or soothing, anxiety in his voice but speaking with force as he tries to reassure her: he has seen. They have acted. Okami will not be left alone, even if he cannot carry them both. ]

There was no second game. It was a long one, with a farcical first act that led up to a catastrophic second.

[forgottenmercy]

You are, ah, welcome...

[...a child. Eclipse's age. but he keeps himself calm.] I will, ah, have this done as soon as I can.

[unbr8kable]

[It's soothing enough to keep doing them, yes]

I mean, we started out helping out animals and stuff. But eventually had to outsource that part since people kept coming after us, and I didn't want any animals to get hurt. Maybe next time.

[softlyfalling]

I don't get sick very easily, at least, so—don't worry about it, really.

And, if I do this time, I only have myself to blame, now.

[sunflowering]

[ Becoming numb is a blessing, even if she can't seem to get her body to cooperate with her.]

My eyes... I can't see.

[maidenheaven]

[maidenheaven]

I did!

[unbr8kable]

Is it?

Pretty sure you're gonna have to get another team for something like that. Unless you're just going for a hook or something; I think you can get that at the store.
