BETRAYAL SESSION 14

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. ]

[okay here we go]

...Thirsty?

[He just nods a little, the motion kind of jerky. He rubs his hand across his mouth; it's still shaking.]

Think I'm gonna sit down. For like.

For a minute.

We got a minute.

[finds a location back from the main hallway so that they can at least see if anyone else moseys on in. ...also looking for a glass or something, surely there is one or three,]

[Just going to kind of. Sink down to sit by the wall, arms wrapped around his knees.]

[His breathing is still not quite right.]

[After puttering around, returns with a couple mugs. Hands one to Nitro, then hesitates in front of him--knocks another against his arms, gentle]

[He hesitates, then reaches out to take it.]

...thanks.

Mm... May as well take something from this place for once, right...?

...yeah. Figure it owes us a couple by now.

[He lifts the cup to his lips, hand still shaking, to take a long swallow.]

[Leans against the wall beside him, taking a swig of her own. Opens her mouth to respond--takes another drink instead. It's red, with coppery notes, and burns on the way down]

[He takes another swallow, longer this time, throat working. It's probably half of the mug, honestly.]

[When he puts it down, his voice is quiet.]

Sorry. For like - for freezing up like that.

Shit, you really weren't kidding about knowing a place.

Was led here by God.

...Okay, technically I led God here, but whatever.

Still can't believe someone actually named themselves that.

[ Grabbing a wine at random for himself ]

If you met her, you’d believe it. Pretty sure she’s nutso too, but it’s honestly hard to tell.

[offers him a mug and a bottle opener]

...How you doing?

[ Accepts both and pours himself a...probably too full glass of wine. He needs this okay ]

... Dunno. Pretty fucking worried about Griffin and Harpy. I dunno how many times they've gone through this already. Or if they're still goin' through it.

Yeah... Shrike and Gold been having a time of it, too. ...Prolly gonna need some time once we finally get outta here.

There's not a single person in this place who isn't gonna need some time after this.

Yeah...we'll see about that.

[Just going to kind of. Sink down to sit by the wall, arms wrapped around his knees.]

[His breathing is still not quite right; he's not quite up to banter, yet.]

[ Nitro isn't quite relaxed enough to sit yet, pacing slowly around the room like a wary animal even while he's getting himself a drink ]

... You doin' any better now?

Yeah. I'm doing okay.

[But he drains like. Half of this mug of wine as soon as Nem hands it to him.]

None've us are doin' okay, but at least you don't look like you're gonna pass out anymore.

...yeah. Sorry.

I think I got it together again.

...Look, I dunno what happened to you back there, but it's— ...

Slowin' us down didn't get anyone hurt. It's fine.

...guess it could've been worse.

We still coulda got more of this place mapped, though.
