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. ]

[ You enter the Gardens. Wrought-iron gates divide it from the edge of the skyscraper, imposing points silhouetted against the dark sky, lit from beneath by motion activated lights in the soil that glow as you walk past them— announcing your presence to everyone out here. An apple tree dominates the center of the garden, roots buckling the paths and littering its fruit— all perfect, unblemished where it has fallen, all throughout the garden. Small sprouts spike from the ground, pale and strangled imitations of the central tree, none of them thriving.

There are two entrances: one to the east and one to the west. ]

The wind picks up, a slow crescendo to a screeching howl.

Each character in the Gardens, Graveyard, Patio, Tower, and on the Balcony [or in a room with an outside facing window] must attempt a Might roll:
5+: You keep your footing
3-4: The wind knocks you down. Take 1 die of physical damage.
1-2: The wind chills your soul. Take 1 die of mental damage.
0: The wind knocks you down hard. Take 1 die of physical damage. Put one of your items (if you have any) in the Entrance Hall.

[3 means he's knocked down. ow.

NO DAMAGE THO. so just gets back up and brushes himself off.]

[Holding out a hand to help him. Quiet though.]

[it's a little unnerving when you're used to being the quiet one of the group?

but reassuring smile get.]

[Just staying close, hi. It's really hard to words that aren't insane rambles.]

[ Sanguine's right here, also offering a hand out to help. ]

[you guys... he takes the hand, though. you also get a reassuring smile. he's fine, he's doing better than you guys???]

[ He keeps steady while helping Boss up— he may not be all there mentally, but he's still plenty strong enough physically. ]
