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. ]

[ staring...at this painting

that guy's kinda hot actually ]

[also stopping to check it out]

Didn't C steal that...?

Yeah, I remember that in our room. Maybe it grew back.

Maybe it reset when time did. But then, I would prefer the option where that thing doesn't end up hanging in our dorm.

Yeah, I don't really want to look at Older Boss, Into Evil And Bondage every day.

I don't want to look at it now, but I should wait a little longer...

I hope nothing bad happened to your friend.

I'm worried...

Perhaps we should go take a look nearby?

We might as well.

I didn't know you guys were thieves.

Please don't lump us all together. C did of his own volition.

Eeeeh, sounds fake. I always knew you boys were too cute an' innocent to not have some sort of dark secret.

We do have one. His name is C.

[for all his joking around, he is pretty tense and keeping a healthy distance]

[ she is too, edging towards the east door. ]

Sick burn. Hey, it's been awhile since I last saw you guys. Like, when I ran away from that fire dude. Y'all been holdin' up well since then?

I haven't had any issues, but E and H have been having a rough time of it.

[he will back off to give her space]

At least you're all together. My unit had a big blowup so I just sorta been sittin' here waitin' for 'em to walk by like a good dog. Y'know, one that knows nobody's gonna actually show up but thinks it's worth tryin' anyway.

I was also supposed to meet someone here. I'm wondering if I wouldn't be better off searching for her.

...What happened with your unit?

I dunno. Lucy's actin' fuckin' weird, like he hates us. An' somethin' happened between Loki an' Anubis while I was asleep an' they won't talk to me about it, sooooo. I decided I'd just blame ghosts an' move on.

C likes to collect.

So many magpies in this place!

Well, there is a whole lot of junk around.

Yeah, yeah. Y'all goin' somewhere? I've been kinda lonely, since my unit to bounce an' left me behind.

It depends. Are you a people-eater? We can't hang out if you're a people-eater.

I ain't never eaten nobody in my life.

Cool. Can you play an instrument? Because I've been thinking about starting a haunted house death metal band.
