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. ]

They're all here!

[How exciting!! Almost everyone he was wanting to see!]

[. . . i don't even know you.]

Hi!

[Look he's shirtless and bloody and chipper so does it really matter if you know eachother.]

You're friends with Phoenix and Sanguine, right?

... we're on the same unit.

That's what I was getting at. Nice to meetcha. I'm H.

... Boss.

[i'm reserving the right to say it's nice to meet you, considering Sanguine has gone homicidal at E and wtf wtf wtf you guys?!]

Boss, great! Well, I'd love to get to know you better, but there are some people I really need to spend some alone time with.

[Namely: Phoenix and Shuten but also Sanguine if possible.]

Don't get in the way, alright?

[wow. don't just discard him like that!

glaring a bit.]

They've already gone through enough in here. Leave them alone.

Not a chance. We've all had a hard time. What do you think is in that bag of his?

[Gesturing at Phoenix]

[... yeah, he's tried really hard not to think about that.]

He wouldn't do anything to you without reason.

[SORRY, ASSHOLE. I'M STICKING WITH MY CREW.]

You can believe that if you want.

[He's still after them! He'll go through boss if he must-- But Shuten has now distracted him with murder-tag so off he goes.]

[sits up, but is absolutely still straddling Phoenix.]

...Oh, shit.

That's not a nice way to greet someone.

[Yoooou you need to go in the mirror SO BAD]

Hey, at least I didn't tell you to go away right out the gates, right?

Though I really should. Hey, H. Fuck off.

Nah. I've got a bone to pick with you.

[Whyyy am I unarmed though how annoying.]

Wanna give it a go?

[Fite me!!]

What, right here in front of everyone? I've had enough exhibition for a while now, you see.

Well, we could always go somewhere more private, if that's what you like...

Sure, sure. How about we make it a game of tag?

Works for me!

[Yess let me chase you around til you go somewhere I want you to go--]

You're it!

[grins at him and

--fucking books it into a hidden staircase]

[Aaand chasing!! Let's go let's go!]
