imeeji_frontstage | BETRAYAL AT THE HOUSE ON THE GAME TOWER

Who: Exael and the rest of you lot
When: To be inserted into the timeline after completion
What: Betrayal at the House on the Game Tower

[ The GAME ALERT and map show on the screen of your phones— idols, you know what to do!

The Game Tower elevator doors are open to receive, and close once they have you in their confines and the broadcast monitors click on. You can keep an eye on the city further and further below you, as watch with your host's introduction to today's game.

At the very least it's not Mukuro's face on the screen this time. Instead it's Exael again, pigtails bouncing as she hops up from a grand low bow— it looks like they cut part of her broadcast spiel for you guys. With a showman's flair, she twirls and splays her arms as the camera zooms out to focus on a grand mansion, more Hollywood glamor than anything belonging in Tokyo.

"Summer has come to Tokyo, and so has the season's specialty: The Trial of Courage! Step right up, and charge right in because waiting won't help you at all! Here is a place even angels fear to tread! Azzy's very own, The House of Mirth and Betrayal! This place has a sordid past that casts a shadow as long as the valley of death, and soon our Idols will be adding their own pages to the tale!"

The elevator stops atop the central tower of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building and then lurches unpleasantly, wrenching itself out of where elevators ought to go. The sudden movement jolts you, and when the doors open you spill out into into a room.

Hopefully, with not too much time missing. ]

[GETTING AWAY FROM THE THRONG OF PEOPLE]

[Sorry some of those throng are following.]

. . .

Why am I not fucking surprised?

You said it was cool to come with.

[Looking at the Paladin parade]

I said it was okay for you to come with.

Hey, I didn't bring em.

Fucking hivemind...

Uh huh.

For real though, you gonna let me play you at something, or what?

Looks like Her Highness needs a rematch. You in?

What, when I still haven't gone up against you one on one?

Think you owe me that race before she gets one, honestly.

[ now dat's just rude ]

I demand the right to restore my honor!

[ :3 ]

It's because you're trying to run away instead of giving me a rematch.

Ha! Name a game you won't lose in the first round and I'll consider it.

It has to be somewhat of a challenge for me?

[ Considers this, and the fact that hurricane wants to play ]

Why don't the three of us have a race to the other side of the room. That's easy enough, isn't it?

[This sounds complete safe with a speed of 2]

Fine. Fine.

God, what is wrong with you?

Something like this is less scary if you can find a way to make light of it, isn't it? Besides, you seemed like you were having fun before when you beat me.

[ you wanna beat her again right? ]

[Man, Mori just let it spill that this might be related to their traitor goal. Intensity ABSOLUTELY wants to race her now]

Yes. Let's have some real fun.

[ INTENSITY THAT IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE ]

Good. I have no intention of losing to you this time.

[Following the incompetent murderers]

S-Sorry...

I told you I didn't need a Paladin. Now I have fucking three of them!!!

Intensity-san... Don't you think that's odd?

Why would I think that's odd? I bet you all go to the fucking bathroom together.

[Trying to keep his voice down so the other two don't hear]

Not that we're together. Hiryuu-san isn't the type of person to ask you to play games with her in such a dangerous situation, is she? Is that paladin-like behaviour, in a dangerous situation?

[Um, the more dangerous it is, the more fun it is for Intensity]

Oh.

It's that kind of game?

Don't look excited about that!
