BETRAYAL AT THE HOUSE ON THE GAME TOWER - END

Who: Traitors and Survivors, Exael
Where: The Game Tower, and leaving it
When: Day 25, morning-- it appears that game lasted the bulk of day 24 into the night.

[ Abruptly, the nightmare ends.

You, in the rooms you kept restarting in, awoke. Before you can even panic, before even despair, the elevator doors were open in front of you to take you downstairs again. It could be a trap, sure, but your head is quiet— those fucking ghosts are gone. You also appear to be wet like someone dumped, perhaps, a bucket of holy water on you while you were asleep. All your wounds are gone, and you have been left bereft of any physical damage from your ordeal.

Unless you choose to take some with you. Nothing prevents you from taking any of your spoils downstairs with you, if you wish it, though all revolvers will have no ammo.

On the screens as you descend back to the lobby, Exael is clapping on screen, broadcast showing her in the mansion's entrance hall. "And so close the gates to this forbidden garden, and so closes this chapter of our story! Just as—" her hologram flickers as she doesn't seem to notice, chattering still to the cameras, "so too will—" fzzt, fzzt. Static, flickering, and then back into focus, "So give them all a hand! Everyone, you've done well! You stand before us still, ready to present us all with more marvels after having survived such grisly wonders with—" "—in the balance!"

As she speaks, she doesn't notice a figure approaching behind her. He's in a slick suit with both hands in his pockets, and you've seen him before— his portrait is in the foyer. His shoes are utterly silent as he walks across the marble floor, till he's right at her back.

"Audience and actors alike, we've been blessed with—" Her hologram doesn't flicker this time, but she stops speaking. Her eyebrows furrow as she tries to figure out what's amiss, and only belatedly begins to slowly look over her shoulder.

"Exael," he says with a friendly hand on her solidifying hologram shoulder, the effect spreading beneath his touch, "We need to have a chat about your requisitions paperwork."

She tilts her head, eyes wide with a finger tapping against her cheek as she thinks, "I didn't do any!"

"Yes," he agrees, smiling with all his teeth. "I know."

The broadcast cuts. The doors open to let you leave. ]

[will go over and open arms for hugs, trying not to look too uncomfortable about the crowd of very large strong guys now very close to him]

Yes mam.

[ There's no time for awkwardness when you are genuinely being super squeezed into a hug. ]

I thought.... I was afraid I would never see you again.

[ Or anyone. JUST TO BE CLEAR, SHE WAS VERY STUBBORN AND HOPEFULLY HALF TO SPITE H, but like, honestly a hundred years of nothing and no one has a way of wearing even the most determined down. ]
liarliarliar: (Dodging the murderhobos.)

Ah...

[hugs back a little, feeling a bit weird about the whole thing. everyone is so. broken??? how do. fix??? canttttt???? also so many large people could snatch me right now yikes]

This whole thing was just made to make us feel the worst. With bad magics and bad times and bad mind messing.

It was never as real as it seemed because we're all able to be here together like this again.

[ SSSSSSSSSSSSSSHhhhhhhhhh no her dragons are good dragons. they're not here to kidnap any fair maidens today, not even one as fair as B. she just keeps stroking his hair and. cuddling him. ...... she may even be going so far as to rub her cheek up against his, I'm sorry b. ]

It was real enough. But it's okay now. It'll be okay.

[ Because like he said they're all together now. It's fine it's cool it's fine it's cool ]

You're very warm, B.
liarliarliar: (East with them and west within.)

Because B is a shy boy.

[ She stops hugging him to pull gently on his cheeks. ]

Do you want us to walk you home, B?
liarliarliar: (Straighten up now time to go...)

[personal profile] liarliarliar 2018-08-11 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
No no, that's fine. I'm doing well. Hiryuu should focus on her saddest boys, okay?

C and I will make it home together.
