BETRAYAL AT THE HOUSE ON THE GAME TOWER - Session 11

[idolpro]

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. ]

[Just Cardigan and Nemesis looking normal and unbloody even. Cardigan blinks.]

Hi, D. Are you crazy?

[maxxximumeffort]

FUCK. THERE WERE PEOPLE ANYWAY. BACK OFF, MUKUROIAN CANDIDATES!

Wait, is this a trick question?

[unbr8kable]

Have you tried dismembering anyone and eating their body parts or whatever the hell, for example?

[maxxximumeffort]

Not... in recent memory.

[unbr8kable]

No bloody summoning circles or turning people into puffs of black smoke?

[maxxximumeffort]

Has that seriously been happening? Who the fuck just turns people in to puffs of smoke? That's so fucking godmoddy.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah. Yeah, that's happened. What, have you somehow been surrounded by the only not super nutso people here?

[maxxximumeffort]

I've been alone this whole time. You know. It's fine. How'd you like a speedster in the party? I appear to be a speedster. Jury's out on whether that's a game-breaking benefit or completely useless.

[unbr8kable]

...Sure. We can use you to open all those shitty doors in the junk room.

Where've you already checked out around here?

[maxxximumeffort]

Uh, hideous ghost room, and another hideous ghost room, and another hideous ghost room. I did get a magic slide ride. That was cool. I also was teleported? To another hideous ghost room.

[unbr8kable]

That's basically all this place is. Sometimes they throw a pretty good party, though.

[deicider]

[Umm, frowning and putting an arm out to keep Nemesis back.]

Stop yelling. I guess you're not crazy if you're avoiding people.

[maxxximumeffort]

Jesus. Sorry. Lil jumpy. I have three sanity, okay? I can't find anyone from my team, have you seen them? Your uh, your lil' buddy okay?

[deicider]

[Shaking their head.]

No, sorry. We're just jumpy, too. We should get moving in case someone hear that.

Do you want to come with us?

[maxxximumeffort]

Teamwork makes the dream work as they say. Yes, please. I was thinking south? Are you feeling it? I picked it completely at random.

[deicider]

They're all going to suck so go with your gut. [a slight quirk of their mouth.] If you get us stabbed, I'll pick the next room.

[maxxximumeffort]

That is completely fair.

[he sure seems swinging between loud, screaming jokes and VERY twitchy and nervous]

[deicider]

[i s2g if you yell again you will be ADMONISHED]

[unbr8kable]

[looks to them; a 'you okay with this?' kind of look. she herself seems okay with the fact that DP doesn't seem any more crazy than normal tho]

[deicider]

[Firm nod!]

[unbr8kable]

[grim thumbs up]
