BETRAYAL AT THE HOUSE ON THE GAME TOWER - SESSION 12 - FINAL

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. ]

[...She made it... somehow.

She looks around the room like she's expecting something else to be here?? She had herself worked up and now she's alone...

Well, time to hang out and wait, she guesses. That's not nervewracking at all.]

[don't worry, A hasn't forgotten!! he is slightly burnt and covered with cobwebs and is beelining to her]

Maki! Sorry to keep you waiting.

[sigh of relief]

...No, I haven't been here long.

[She looks fine, although slightly cobwebby herself. ...And she appears to have acquired a nasty-looking dagger with tubes and needles extending from the handle and plunging into the veins of her arm, I guess.]

Are you okay?

[noting the dagger]

[don't tense don't tense don't tense don't--fuck, he does tense a bit and his arms come up a bit awkwardly but they go around her, stiffly at first, a bit mechanically.

until it registers that this isn't some hallucination and then it's a crushing hug and he's. a bubble of laughter comes up like a sob and he really can't even be bothered to keep it down.]

[She laughs in response, a little hysterically, and tries to look up at him.]

Are you—it's stupid to ask if you're okay, I'm sure you're not, but...

[it would probably be smarter to stay over her shoulder but he just wants to see her face. just wants to see her. his eyes are on the duller side, but the smile he has on is genuine enough that it does show there, at least, as he nods.

but

words... are. really hard???]

Phoenix and Sanguine... have been trying.

[to look after him, to help him. they've been trying really hard, Maki.]

...Apologies for interrupting the happy reunion, but this location sees a lot of traffic. We should move somewhere a bit more off the beaten path.

...Ah, that's true. It's probably dangerous here.

[She pulls mostly away, but she slides her (non-dagger-occupied) hand down to hold Boss's]

Where should we go?

[he looked over to A when he makes the suggestion. and--immediately is distracted by handholding--his are gloved, ftr. a-aaaah...]

... not the dining room.

[a pause.]

Or attic.

If you haven't had a chance to arm yourself yet, Boss, the kitchen has knives.

It also has cake, though I must say I'm reluctant to try it.

[personal profile] rollplayinghouse 2018-08-10 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
You could also take one of my knives. They're not any good to me when I have this dagger.

[this is a normal thing to offer. she doesn't actually pull them out of her belt, though, since that would require letting go of his hand]

But the kitchen seems like a decent place anyway. Which way is it?

[... uh. shrugs a bit?

someone didn't really get a lot of chances to explore.]

[obediently following along.

... except he's taking the opportunity to lace his fingers with Maki's and also loop their arms together and if you think he is too close, that's too bad.]
