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. ]

[tries to get out of the way, but Kuzuebiko's grip is too strong, and he's just too slow. and when he's caught, stops struggling.]

[rollwillpowercheck]

[okay.

fuck it.

he's got a knife, Kuzuebiko's hands are occupied... he's going to try to stab him in the back. with a 2.]

[syncintohell]

[ SPEED ROLLS A 3— he turns at just the right moment for the knife to miss him, laughing like a lunatic as he carries Persephone over to&madsh; holy shit, is that a grave dug in the shore? That explains the shovel, doesn't it—

and drops Persephone before turning on Anubis. ]

Kakaka! So here we have another— there is room for you both, if you wish! I could not bear to leave so pretty a doll there alone, when you are so eager to join him!

[ Hefts his shovel with a might roll of. 8. again. somehow ]

[rollwillpowercheck]

Shut up! Don't you dare touch him!

[he's. really upset. first Persephone ran off, then there was the whole thing with Lucifel stabbing Loki, and now there's this guy. and maybe being too emotional rather than taking more time to judge the situation is why he completely fails to dodge the shovel with a speed roll of 0.

clonk.]

[syncintohell]

[ bye Anubis thanks for playing.

Going to go pick him up and also go drop him down into the grave. ]

[forgottenmercy]

[probably would have just let him bury him if it weren't for the fact that he can hear Anubis yelling and then the clonk, and desperately tries to claw his way out of the grave. with difficulty, given his 2 on the speed roll. and then Anubis is dropped down in with him.]

[rollwillpowercheck]

[sorry about that.]

[syncintohell]

[ ROLLS A 4 ON SPEED which means I guess he starts shoveling sandy soil down on them before Persephone is able to get out ]

You could have, perhaps, kept up the charade a little longer. But it was inevitable that someday you would show your true colors. Between my path and yours— I will no longer bend for the sake of others. Farewell, my sweet Persephone.

[forgottenmercy]

[not even going to try to get out again. or respond. just going to tug Anubis's unconscious body to him and just hold him close and closes his eyes to wait as the dirt fills in the grave.

it's not a comfort that he's not going to die alone.]

[lovestained]

[ clapping, honestly. so many good murders she gets to watch! ]

[probablyhavingfun]

[golf clapping from over where they are, since Red is doing it. that sure was a murder!]
