Endgame

[idolpro]

Who: You lot
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 155, sunset

[ The house is silent; you awaken in your starter rooms, with injuries healed and the gripping hold of possession released as though it were all a dream.

It wasn't though, was it? The scars that remain, whether physical or emotional, are proof of that. If you need more proof, well - when the elevator opens for you once more, to take you back down to ground level, you'll find you can carry whatever is on your person back down with you as souvenirs, although their effects don't carry over.

Once you take the elevator down, you'll find most everyone else there too - most everyone, anyway. Some are missing, and . . . well, the doors to the outside aren't opening to let anyone out, although non-participants may enter to fret over their loved ones.

Soon enough, once the last elevators go down, the doors will unlock and you'll be free to hurry home, as the last rays of the sun disappear behind the skyline. Night is coming once more. ]

Find what you were looking for, CEO?

And thanks for the heads up.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Half of what I was looking for.

Did you manage to get to Anubis before chainsaw asshole did?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Yugi and my new unitmate fought to the death. Yugi one. When he goes insane, he doesn't half ass it.

Silk, Yugi, and I were fine. Mostly. Just a few bullet wounds.

How about you?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No. He never has and never will.

...

So the trend this time was people stabbing people in front of me to get my attention.







I don't like it.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

...

...

Who?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Not here.

Buy me a drink later.

If you're too poor still, they're on me.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Ha! Now that I don't have to spend any points to get any meetings with people, this is something I can spot you, CEO.

Drinks on me.

Also your new unitmate is a fuckin' lunatic. Bet he fits right in.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

Which one?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

The one with the wings.

Also, can you fuckers stop killing me at the last minute? Really.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'll talk to him after class.

As for your other request---

What can I say? You're the kind of person who gets defeated in the 11th hour.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Oh, shut it.

Alright. Drinks of me. Go gather your unit and whomever the fuck else. Ta-ta, CEO!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Wait.

[Grabs his sleeve]

Are you going to look after the new idiot from our world?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Already have been. He's staying in my room since we burned all his shit.

This one's not bad. It's the other half.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Not bad by your standards?

Or not bad by real standards?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Please. Our standards.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Is there an our. That's good to know.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

There fucking is. But the rest of those from home aren't included. Even Anubis.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

He's still pretty soft even after being here since the beginning.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

He's supposed to be the 'good' half, isn't he?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Look at the other good halves.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Yugi and King as a pair are useless. To me at least.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Watch it!

But he lets the annoyance pass quickly enough]

Still friends with the angel.

That's useful.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I clarified.

You can have use for them all you want. And I'm well beyond wanting to get into any sort of brawl with either of them. Waste of my time.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

As long as I can draw a chalk line down the floor between you two and you stay on your side, I don't care.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Of course, CEO. Wouldn't dream of angering you. I'll get you that drink, no worries.
