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! ]

We ah, had to live as people in a world of, um, "the early industrial era" and "capitalism," where people toiled in rather miserable conditions. We became ill several times, and could not afford enough clothing or medicine or a decent house. In the end we were killed as some sort of rebellion broke out, and an explosion consumed all of us in the fighting.

[forgottenmercy]

...so like the, ah, Guild, except...even worse.

...no wonder everyone is, ah, so hurt. I am, ah, sorry that you had to go through that.

[nihilmancy]

Yeah. Like, ah, in your memory. But they ruled everything.

Mm. M-Me too.

[Also her fingers are frost bitten!]

[forgottenmercy]

...ruled everything.

[this is the worst.]

...I cannot, ah, do anything for your hands, I think.

[nihilmancy]

Mm. T-They'll probably heal when I eat. But, ah, I presently have tuberculosis, so, I shall have to rest until that clears up.

[She winces every so often, so she clearly hasn't numbed the pain.]

[forgottenmercy]

...consumption? [yay reading or else he wouldn't recognize the name tuberculosis honestly.] You should, ah, rest then. Do you, ah, need me to numb you?

[nihilmancy]

...I wanted to feel the pain but, ah- I can do it to myself. I bought the power.

[forgottenmercy]

...as a, ah, reminder?

[nihilmancy]

Something like that.

[Mostly self-loathing.]

[forgottenmercy]

...if you are, ah, certain, then.

[nihilmancy]

I suppose I should numb it. And get around to see who else needs healing too.

[forgottenmercy]

Please do not, ah, push yourself too hard. I should, ah, take most of the healing since I am uninjured.

[nihilmancy]

I won't.

I think, ah, I'll be staying at Avante with Shrike tonight.

[forgottenmercy]

[inclines his head gracefully in acknowledgment] ...ah, understood.

...may, ah, both of you rest well.

[nihilmancy]

Thank you. Ah, do you think that somebody could pick up a sleeping potion from AlcheME?

[forgottenmercy]

I could, ah, maybe try to do it, but it would have to be...later tonight.

[nihilmancy]

T-That would be alright. Sorry to impose.

[forgottenmercy]

You do not, ah, need to apologize, and you are not imposing. I, ah, am unhurt, so I should do my part to take care of you.

[nihilmancy]

Mm, j-just hold off and I'll text you if I need it. I'll also see if I can get Shrike to do it, perhaps. You need to save your energy too.

[forgottenmercy]

...if you are, ah, certain, then.

[saving energy??? what's that???]
