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. ]

[ Hits his hand away ]

Need is irrelevant. I will behave as I like, Shuten. Or do you have an opinion to the contrary, regarding my behavior?

[ugh that breaks his mask of chill momentarily, but he backs off.]

...No.
syncintohell: (and know your desires)

[personal profile] syncintohell 2018-08-08 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
How good that you know your place.

[ Said vindictively, shallowly masked with ego— crinkle it and it'd be a paper-thin over nothing but spite. ]
hashtagaesthetic: (you come to see me)

. . .

[with icy coldness]

You're making it very hard to get along with you, Kuzuebiko.
syncintohell: (Reach out your hand - believe)

[personal profile] syncintohell 2018-08-08 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
I am not going to pretend comradery.
hashtagaesthetic: (by my mother's name)

[personal profile] hashtagaesthetic 2018-08-08 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
So you've been pretending. I was genuinely fond of you, you know?

Because you have taste.

2/3

[personal profile] syncintohell 2018-08-08 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
But this is human nature— to hate those who stand apart and behave contrary to their own whims.
syncintohell: (We won’t let you go)

3/3

[personal profile] syncintohell 2018-08-08 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
But I will not simply live and toil under the tyranny of the majority. So be it that I will be hated, and shunned— until they murder me I will stand against them til the end as myself!

[personal profile] hashtagaesthetic 2018-08-08 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
That's your prerogative. But no one is required to bend to your will either.

Say anything to me about knowing my place again and I'll kill you.
syncintohell: (Open those illusion-covered eyes)

Oho! So you were cut to the quick!
