BETRAYAL SESSION 14

[idolpro]

Who: You lot
When: To be inserted into the timeline after completion
What: Betrayal at the House on the Game Tower

[ The game starts with you in elevators, the doors jammed shut. You can keep an eye on the city further and further below you, but there's no introduction to today's game.

It's just as well. Those of you who recognize it need no introduction to it. Those of you who don't couldn't be prepared by any host's opening spiel, anyway.

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 a room.

Hopefully, with not too much time missing. ]

[ There sure is a lot of blood here, huh.

Eclipse attempts a pass code and...

...Rolls a 4...

... ]

[inspiteful]

[inspiteful]

FUCK THIS STUPID HOUSE!

[ He's running back West. ]

[onetrippony]

[ Except he runs straight into Mercury who is just walking in. ]

Oh, there you are. Did you run all the way to this room?

[inspiteful]

Yes.

And I couldn't get the vault to open.

[onetrippony]

I really hope I can... Skylark's waiting for me back in that other room.

[inspiteful]

[ He blinks for a moment because that's...well, his actual name back home, before he realises he's talking about someone else. ]

Sooo what happens if you don't get anything?

[onetrippony]

I'm going to have to fight him with some rope again which really didn't go well last time.

[inspiteful]

Let me guess, death?

[onetrippony]

Mmm... He really overtook me in strength.

[ Going to go fiddle with the vault... and a 3 means the fault nopes on him. ]

1/2

[inspiteful]

[ Give him a sec.

He's going to kick that vault out of spite. ]

[inspiteful]

Are you ready to attempt a murder?

[onetrippony]

[ ??! ]

- You are?

[inspiteful]

I mean either we go out there to meet him or he comes here to meet us and I'm pretty sure either way that's also going to end in death?

...I promised Prim to keep you alive, so.

[onetrippony]

[ Kind of. Surprised at the offer, and something inside him is telling him it's fake and he'll be left to die again but something deeper inside is telling him that this team wouldn't do that to him... how confusing. ]

[ He nods though. ]

... Do you have anything like a weapon? His focus will be on me.

[inspiteful]

[ ...Pulls out a hammer and a pair of scissors he took from the dungeon out of a doctor's bag. ]

Well, uh...

[onetrippony]

... I guess the scissors could help as a secondary weapon.

[ Tying the pliers to the end of the room again, holding out a hand for the scissors. ]

[inspiteful]

[ Dryly: ] Can't believe I'm going to beat a guy with a hammer.

[ But he's passing those scissors. ]

[onetrippony]

I'll try to pin him down and you aim to weaken then. Knees, elbows, those kinds of places. He'll be too on guard for you to get a proper critical strike.

[ Said with a weirdly comfortable air?? ]

[inspiteful]

[ ...Noting this, this reminds him a little of one of the earlier memories he got. If anything he's just kind of surprised it's Mercury he's hearing it from? ]

All right.

...Well, hopefully neither of us are gonna end up dead.

[onetrippony]

[ Mercury doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with it. ]

Yeah... let's give it our best.
