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! ]

...Req. Come on.

[stakesthesame]

... come on what? You know I hate owing them anything. And who knows what point skip bodyparts are made of.

[avestan]

You won't owe them anything, I'll get them to do it for free. And honestly, I don't really care what they're made of as long as they work.

[stakesthesame]

...

Maybe... later, then.

[avestan]

...Okay.

[just going to flop next to her for now then]

[stakesthesame]

[ ... inches slightly closer. ]

[avestan]

[leans against her a little since she's presumably been healed by now]

...Sorry for getting on your case about this stuff.

[stakesthesame]

... s'fine. Someone was gonna be eventually.

[avestan]

I won't bring it up in the future if you don't want me to.

[stakesthesame]

I don't mind. I just... try not to need any of that junk. I don't like the idea of-- having scars I don't know about, inside, that they can see. Or owing them anything. And I know you said you'd get them to do it for free but I don't think any of em would listen to you at all, honestly.

[avestan]

Mm, it's not like I don't get that.

[he says, having bought off exactly one scar in his time here]

But I think Levi would do it, and he wouldn't leave behind any exploitable scars or anything. He doesn't like either of us, obviously, but he's enough of a well-meaning dumbass that he'd just want to help.

[stakesthesame]

... I guess. Maybe. I dunno.

[ quiet for a bit ]

Might... go over to Avante. Maybe. If they're okay with it.

[avestan]

...Why wouldn't they be? Are you and Nem still having issues?

[stakesthesame]

Nah, we're better than ever.

... just, dunno if they'd want guests. If the others are real hurt. Guess I don't mind hiding out in her room or something though.

[avestan]

You should go. Comfort's important after games like these, so being with the people you care about the most is good.

[stakesthesame]

[ a beat




Abruptly sits up, looking a little distraught. ]

I'll-- stay home. Nevermind. Sorry.

[avestan]

Shit, that's not- I didn't meant to imply anything there.

[stakesthesame]

No, I uh-- you're right, anyway, I just didn't think...

[avestan]

I'm not "right" because that's not what I meant!
