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! ]

[ the revolution stops for no one apparently ]

I'm okay... I don't need nothin.

... you think I'll look sexy in an eyepatch?

[unbr8kable]

When you were talking about roleplay, wasn’t expecting pirates on the short list, but I’m not knocking it.

...I can get you something if you’re tired of tunnel vision, though.

[stakesthesame]

... just wanna rest, that's all.

I'm glad you're safe.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah... We didn’t have any trouble with anything.

[i mean nitro lost a hand but eh]

...You need someplace to hang out?

[stakesthesame]

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

I'll be okay.

[unbr8kable]

[fffrowns]

...If you need time to yourself, that's fine, trust me, I get it. But otherwise, you don't gotta say no if you mean yes.

[stakesthesame]

... s'not that I need alone time. Don't really wanna be alone but the dog's back home so that's alright.

Just-- you guys have a thing, don't you? When the two of you get hurt. M'not gonna get in the way of that.

[unbr8kable]

It's a "don't spend time alone unless you want to" thing. There's not a friend limit on that. Why would I ask you if I didn't want you around?

[stakesthesame]

I didn't say anything like that... just-- usually you two go off on your own after a bad game and I try to respect that. Specially if I'm not all that hurt.

[ quiet for a moment. Thoughtful, maybe-- she frowns a bit, looking down at her lap. ]

... I can come over?

[unbr8kable]

[well, usually she goes off on her own after a bad game, but shh]

Yes. My team got a problem with it, they can suck it.

...If you got a problem with it...we can talk it out.

[stakesthesame]

... I don't got no problems with it...

[ ... squeezes her hand. ]

I'd uh. Like to, then. Come over. If that's okay.

[unbr8kable]

Yes...

[a little exasperated, but fondly so--god, is this what it's like dealing with her??--and leans in to drop a gentle kiss on Req's forehead]

...Thank you.

[stakesthesame]

[ this is exactly what it's like dealing with you ]

What for?

[unbr8kable]

Coming over? I didn’t want you not to come.

[stakesthesame]

[ oh...

Would fluster a little, if she wasn't still in pain ]

... I'l come over any time you want. I uh... should I go home first? Wash up? You've still got some of my clothes at your place right...?

[unbr8kable]

It’s up to you. I got jammies if you want, and the shower works, and there’ll probably be food.

[stakesthesame]

... alright. Let's go.

[ letting go of her hand to gingerly... push herself up. then pause.

and remember she can float, so just does that instead, still kinda slouchy. ]

[unbr8kable]

You as healed as you wanna be?

[stakesthesame]

Can't fix my eye without buying a new one...

[ takes out her phone ]

... let's swing by Zrael first. I'll clean up and buy an eyepatch. M'sure people're gonna be using the shower in Avante anyway.

[unbr8kable]

...Yeah. Still kinda weird...

[shakes her head, standing herself, ready to move whenever Req is]

...Did it hurt?

[stakesthesame]

Which? ... everything kinda hurts right now.

[ she'll start floating, but-- with missing an eye and being half-blind in the remaining one anyway-- she's having a rough time with depth perception, and after the fourth time of almost running into someone just trying to leave the game tower she just floats close to Nem and holds onto her sleeve, please lead... ]

[unbr8kable]

...When you fell from Heaven.

[she waggles her eyebrows unnecessarily, leaning in so Req can actually see her. but after that rather than continuing she kind of wraps an arm around Req's waist and kind of tugs her where she needs to go]

[stakesthesame]

[ smiles, briefly, but leans in against her and lets herself be led, like a balloon or something. ]

Pretty sure I clawed my way outta hell to begin with.

[unbr8kable]

[all according to keikaku]

Close enough.

[and moseys on to Zrael]

[stakesthesame]

[ this is fine.

she doesn't really waste any time, here: a quick shower and throw on some pjs and delicately, carefully trying to clean her face off-- probably with nem's help, since she can't really see-- before bandaging what needs it and picking up her eyepatch from the mailbox as they head out again. she's not especially chatty the whole time, but she mostly just seems real tired, so...

ties the eyepatch on ]

... right, let's get going.
