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! ]

I'd... really like that.

[furrytailprince]

[ Will probably be attempting to limp back home using his ability ]

[malignstar]

[ Trying to drag himself onto it ]

[furrytailprince]

[ Tail starting to lash ]

We were in the... mines. I've... no idea how we got m-mixed up in that. Some i-idiots dragged everyone into their... mess.

[malignstar]

It's my... job to p-protect them...

[ As if he barely registers anything Thorn just said ]

[furrytailprince]

[ Oh wow, this is a thing that's actually happening... ]

[dragonheartedgirl]

Then let me do the same for oyu--at least, to act as a support while you make your way home.

[crossmyheartandhope]

That really sucks.

We got out just before everything went nuts... guess we lucked out on the timing.

[we_meet_again]

[gently pulls him on the rest of the way, stands up, and carries him home]

[crossmyheartandhope]

You sure it's not, like - a pain, or whatever?

[justfuckingtryit]

Hey. Sunshine.

[Direct, almost a little sharp, like he's trying to break through to him.]

[dragonheartedgirl]

It's never any trouble to help you.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Ducks his head, a little.]

...thanks, sis.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then you better get back on your feet quickly.

Though I imagine your stubbornness will also aid in that effort.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Imagine that all of this has been in text because I have the memory of a goldfish]

I didn't know that was on the to-do list. Need for escapism already running that high?

I imagine you'd kill as a lion tamer.

[ididntsaybanana]

Don't worry, Okami. I've got you.

[deicider]

[They smile, closing their eyes to savor the touch.]

It's not the worst tradition.

[worthathousand]

Expelled...?

[ ... ]

...You mean to say you vomited it? Because, ah, that would not make you any less drunk.

[worthathousand]

Exactly so.

And, regardless of the answer, as my newest unitmate pointed out, their suffering certainly seems to be real for the duration of the games.

[justfuckingtryit]

...yeah.

[worthathousand]

I suppose not.
But... I would much rather have broken it, here, than let you be alone.

[ she draws back very slightly, though her fingers trail through their hair to lightly cup their cheek ]

Just let me know when to expect you.
I was thinking of trying my hand at cooking, and I wouldn't want you to miss the opportunity to tease me for how little skill I probably have.

[malignstar]

[ Trying to bow his head, as his fingers (with their now cracked silver polish) futilely twist with the urge to grip his hair. But his limbs simply won't obey such commands right now. ]

M-My fault...

[malignstar]

[ Forced laugh ]

Y-Yeah, we'll see.

Thanks for the ride... You two, Blue Eyes.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Hops off the back of the dragon so he can help Sunshine get down without too much jostling]

[justfuckingtryit]

Was it our fault, every time we ate shit in a game?
