BETRAYAL AT THE HOUSE ON THE GAME TOWER - Session 9

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. ]

[ Shu takes his sweet time with the stairs, so he misses that. Possibly intentionally. ]

Do you know which way the one you are seeking lies, or do you simply plan to wander?
hashtagaesthetic: (pass through every dozen years)

[personal profile] hashtagaesthetic 2018-08-08 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[entering hot on their heels]

Ah! You two! Wait for me!
rollplayinghouse: (ca141-1)

[personal profile] rollplayinghouse 2018-08-08 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, Shuten!

[looking him over]
hashtagaesthetic: (right- just turns his head)

[personal profile] hashtagaesthetic 2018-08-08 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[he's looking pretty much unharmed! visibly looking her over, too, with an air of fuss.]

Maki! Are you well?
rollplayinghouse: (s21)

[personal profile] rollplayinghouse 2018-08-08 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[she is entirely unharmed!]

I'm fine. I hadn't seen anyone else until just now...
hashtagaesthetic: (i don't expect to be taken with you)

[personal profile] hashtagaesthetic 2018-08-08 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Thank goodness...

[relief!!]

This place and the people in it can be pretty dangerous, so I'm glad to hear you're all right.
rollplayinghouse: (s32)

[personal profile] rollplayinghouse 2018-08-08 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
So I hear... my first time through was fine, but Kuzuebiko has been saying some ominous things.
hashtagaesthetic: (the old men call me)

[personal profile] hashtagaesthetic 2018-08-08 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
I was with Okami earlier and a wall ate me. It's really intense.
rollplayinghouse: (ca061)

[personal profile] rollplayinghouse 2018-08-08 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
...I can only imagine.

You said the people are dangerous, too?
hashtagaesthetic: (but i took and left something)

[personal profile] hashtagaesthetic 2018-08-08 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I've heard some pretty messed up things, especially about AlcheMe! and mirrors. It's best to be extremely careful.
rollplayinghouse: (s19)

[personal profile] rollplayinghouse 2018-08-08 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
What?

...A told me AlcheME's traitor goal was to magically push people into mirrors, but he seemed to think it was harmless.
hashtagaesthetic: (we all swim for the lifeboats)

[personal profile] hashtagaesthetic 2018-08-08 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
...Phoenix was in that mirror for two hundred years.
hashtagaesthetic: (bent both)

[personal profile] hashtagaesthetic 2018-08-08 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
If they think it's harmless that explains a few things but it's isolation for actual centuries, so, no. A is wrong.
rollplayinghouse: (s40)

[personal profile] rollplayinghouse 2018-08-08 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
...That does make more sense, in comparison with ours. I'll make sure he knows.
hashtagaesthetic: (along the way)

[personal profile] hashtagaesthetic 2018-08-08 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
...All right. Are you planning to see him?
rollplayinghouse: (s32)

[personal profile] rollplayinghouse 2018-08-08 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. We decided on a meeting spot, before.

syncintohell: (Reach out your hand - believe)

[personal profile] syncintohell 2018-08-08 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
If you cannot keep up that is on your own head.
hashtagaesthetic: (chucks laced ready)

[personal profile] hashtagaesthetic 2018-08-08 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Brutal.... but fair enough, I suppose.
syncintohell: (the light through the darkness)

[personal profile] syncintohell 2018-08-08 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Should you take care to keep yourself in working condition, you will be able to keep pace. Do you require being restrung? I have no tools for maintenance here, but once we leave this place I am not opposed to aiding. After all, the purpose of weakness is to be rooted out and removed, progress taking its place.
hashtagaesthetic: (i come from over the horizon)

[personal profile] hashtagaesthetic 2018-08-08 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ j e s u s c h r i s t ]

Ah, no thanks. I'll keep myself well in order.
syncintohell: (The wings of a king dressed in black)

[personal profile] syncintohell 2018-08-08 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
As you wish.

[ With a dismissive flick of the wrist though he seems a little annoyed. Hmph. ]
rollplayinghouse: (s32)

[personal profile] rollplayinghouse 2018-08-08 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
We agreed to meet in the foyer. He'll probably take a bit longer to get here than this, though.
syncintohell: (so know your superiority)

[personal profile] syncintohell 2018-08-08 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hmm ]

I have no interest in the foyer. Enjoy your meeting, Maki, and do your best to return to us still breathing. It would be a shame if you were the one to fall.
rollplayinghouse: (s17)

[personal profile] rollplayinghouse 2018-08-08 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[She considers him for a too-long silent moment]

...I suppose that's fine.

Take care of yourself.

[she says that with a very slight hint of wryness]
