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. ]

[Oh no that face he wants to touch his face so much. He's approaching him because like, no mirrors here.]

Oh E... Then why do you keep avoiding me?

Re: BALLROOM

[personal profile] columbidaring 2018-08-10 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Because whenever I get close to you you kill me, dummy. That's no way to treat someone you like.

[personal profile] awakenerd 2018-08-10 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry.

[He's stopping, looking at the blood drip from E's fingers.]

I wish... I didn't have to, you know? I don't really want to hurt anyone.

[Jerks back, scared, gasping but like, not ready to fight E even though he was expecting this.]

[personal profile] columbidaring 2018-08-10 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
You didn't have to do it. You didn't have to do it. You didn't have to do it. You didn't have to do it.

[ JUST LIKE. SLASHING AT YOU. this is not a very GOOD weapon but it still might do a harm ]

[It slashes him up a bit, you know, tit for tat, he's trying to grab E's wrist, to stop him, or at least, prevent further stabbing.

He doesn't... Have words in the face of that, really. If he starts to speak it'll just be all ghost.]

Re: BALLROOM

[personal profile] columbidaring 2018-08-10 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ I mean he doesn't have a whole lot of strength left after being killed so much he's just like pure adrenaline

just like. FURIOUSLY CRYING ]

I never did anything to you! Not once!
awakenerd: (Looks like Joshua)

Re: BALLROOM

[personal profile] awakenerd 2018-08-10 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[He's trying to pry that out of E's hand, gives up and just holds his wrist, both of them if he can.]

...At least... Now you're being honest... With me.

Re: BALLROOM

[personal profile] columbidaring 2018-08-10 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ NOPE WHEN YOU GRAB THE SECOND WRIST HE INSTANTLY GOES INTO FULL ADRENALINE PANIC MODE AND JUDO FLIPS YOU OVER ]

I'll kill you. I'll kill you maybe that will stick maybe if you're dead you won't hurt me anymore!

Re: BALLROOM

[personal profile] awakenerd 2018-08-10 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[He lands and rolls well but if E is going for him with a knife while he's on the ground he's not in a good defensive position.]

Re: BALLROOM

[personal profile] columbidaring 2018-08-10 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ FOLLOWS UP, TACKLING AND STRADDLING AND DRAWING THE SHARD BACK WITH ONE HAND AND GRABBING PHOENIX'S THROAT WITH THE OTHER AND

not bringing the knife down

that's weird?? why is that happening?? why isn't he murdering you ]

Re: BALLROOM

[personal profile] awakenerd 2018-08-10 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[He's crying and actually not, defending himself. Even? Not yet. He should. He should kill E again but he's so tired. He knows he wants to--He wants to kill everyone here all of them, all the traitors, they all deserve it...

He lifts a hand to cover his face and the way he's sobbing. That's all the defense he has.]

[personal profile] columbidaring 2018-08-10 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ its fine its all you need

[personal profile] awakenerd 2018-08-10 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Good job team we've murdered our feelings.]

Pl-please. Go.

[Before he flips out. As if E, pinning him to the floor with a shard of mirror in hand, is the one in danger in this situation.]

Re: BALLROOM

[personal profile] columbidaring 2018-08-10 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
No.

[ drops... drops the fucking mirror shard goddamnit. Just. puts both his hands on phoenix's manly pecs I guess, if you wore a shirt he would be balling his hands in it but you're too damn sexy for that I guess ]

No.





No. No. I'm not going to.




I want you to kill me.

Re: BALLROOM

[personal profile] awakenerd 2018-08-10 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He's hyperventilating, actually, screaming.]

GO AWAY E!

[But like, if E doesn't, things might escalate. That's the last of Phoenix. That's all his remaining restraint, angry ghost is taking the wheel.]

Re: BALLROOM

[personal profile] columbidaring 2018-08-10 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
NO! You STARTED this with killing me now FINISH it by killing me! Just do it!
