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. ]

[Frankly he doesn't make it to the elevator. As soon as he wakes up this time he's screaming and struggling the bloody satchel off, throwing it away (it can land in the elevator if anyone wants that, or Hiryuu wants her shoes back) and then he's just... Fainting.]

[ Sanguine looks around blankly for a moment. He slowly looks left... right.... left again.


And then he opens his mouth and screams and screams and screams and screams and screams and screams and screams and screams and screams and screams and screams and screams and screams and screams—

[When he wakes up he panics for a moment, breathing hard and looking around with wild-eyed fear and confusion.]

What the fuck-- Oh. Jeez.

[Welp. That was a thing. But he's climbing up, grabbing the pan and knife he had just in case something else terrible happens, and heading down the elevator.

By the time they reach the bottom and emerge he's gone quiet.]

[Hobbling out of the elevator, face is covered in tears because you know, discovering Intensity isn't dead is probably not what she was expecting, but it's both slightly relieving and mortifying.

If anything, she's gonna CLING REALLY HARD to him once she makes it out also. Seems to be carrying jars of random . . . body parts though . . . that might be strange.]

[ christ he feels like he just ate like 5 meals

he'll be falling to a knee but it's not because of the emotional shock of it he's just like, holding his stomach, looking vaguely nauseous, paler than he even usually is ]

[ She's walking out with a cheerful smile on her face. She's carrying her cape, which is bundled up and filled with shit from the Chapel -- slung in a makeshift satchel over her shoulder is the book from the library. ]

Really? They aren't going to make up for the fake deaths? Mm, what a shame♪

Shit.

[ is all he can really muster, coming of all that. he looks utterly wrecked and it's not exactly only for his own sake. he'll be immediately beelining for BE=DEs but you can catch him in the middle of that ]

[Another ☆ZRAEL is also stepping out of the elevator with his cape wrapped up full of things they looted from the chapel. Their dorm is gonna be extra chuuni and fancy tonight. He looks pretty okay. Super okay, even, compared to most of the people here.]

[well his clothes have a big ol' bloodstain on them again from holding Nine while he bled out.

he just kind of... sinks down into a crouch in the elevator, like his legs can't hold his weight. his eyes are wide and he miiiight be hyperventilating a little.]

[ he's.

well first of all he looks relatively clean all things considered. there's some... scarring. in various places. but those can be addressed later. he's also wearing a beautiful (mostly aside from the blood handprint on the chest) white dress for. some reason. but aside from that he really appears to be quite fine.

hell, he's even leaving the elevator as soon as it hits the ground floor. walking away from the crowd with a very swift, purposeful step.


until he gets several feet away and just fall-slumps his shoulder into the nearest wall. and slides down. so he's just sitting on the fucking ground like this is where he belongs now, grinding his forehead into the wall beside him. in his defense he did try to get farther away, but... now he's just ruining his pretty new dress. ]

[ Because he had it when he buried Persephone and Anubis alive, he still has the mask tucked at the back of his obi— he hadn't the presence of mind to remove it. He's still collapsed in his elevator, just staring blankly out into the lobby. ]

. . .

[ At least this is far from the first time he's gone catatonic when faced with something awful. He's always come out of it, before, so. ]

just looking for his kids.]

[well my unitmate bigs just fucking booked it out of here but thats. fine. cool. cool.

What a tasteless game.

[Abi is just kind of standing silently in a daze, with tears streaming down his face while he tries to comprehend all this.

After a moment he realizes he’s still holding a knife. He drops it immediately and stumbles back a few steps.]

[Shuten isn't injured anymore, but he limps out like someone who expects every motion to hurt, blood still splattered across his clothes.

Beyond that initial problem he's... pretty quiet. He mostly seems listless, taking in their surroundings and everyone in them with an air of cautious exhaustion.]

[He looks dazed when he eventually comes staggering out.]

[Like he's been crying, or not sleeping, or both. Most of his outfit is covered in old, dried blood, and he's missing one of his gloves.]

[This is the blankest of stares, like he's not quite sure of (or doesn't quite believe) what he's seeing.]
