[The Elevator spills you out into the Main Tower. However, it's currently locked so you can't actually get out quite yet.

On your phones, you'll see a line stating "Results Pending". Seems you gotta wait a little longer though you might wanna check on your pals anyway!

I imagine someone is bleeding probably.]

[Ruffles his hair]

Hey. I'm right here.

[And uninjured to boot]

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

Intensity!

[ the anticipation had been slowly killing him. ]

[ throws his arms around his brother and squeezes him like he'll vanish if he so much as thinks about letting go. ]

[ mokuba is also completely uninjured. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Returns the hug. Just as tight.]

You aren't hurt, are you?

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

Not a single scratch.

And you? You're okay too, right?
I was so worried.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'm fine, Mokuba. No physical injuries. No weird mind-altering cards.

[Though really how does he know that]

Nothing.

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

I'm still banned from all of the food joints... [ takes out his phone to double check, YEP. ]

[ and he's missing a memory! but he obviously doesn't know that. ]

Nothing else though.

I'm really glad you're okay. [ his team was so great and didn't hit fin just like he asked. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Nods]

One of my unitmates is missing. I'm sure you know what that means.

Do you mind staying at our dorm tonight?

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

I know from experience, yeah.

I don't mind at all, Intensity. Do you mind if I just... stick with you then? I don't really need to go back to the dorm for anything.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Not more than 24 hours. You're not getting grey plague.

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

I'll just drag you back to Tenshi before then.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Fine.

Then we'll leave as soon as Duality has been revived.

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

Alright.

[ he'll just stick close to intensity in the meantime and wonder how long they have together now that the game is over. p- probably not long. don't mind him idly reaching out for intensity's coat and just stepping a bit closer. ]

[ play shitty game to stay with brother longer? or don't play shitty game and go home? hm. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[At the tug, he'll just reach out to take Mokuba's hand - continuing doing whatever he's been doing. Dragging him along to check up on people]

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

[ squeezes intensity's hand and just follows him around while he does whatever he does. it's not like he has anybody to check up on. his unit was mostly fine. ]

[ except for that serious wedgie. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Once everything's been taken care of. Well, except for waiting for Duality's revival]

I don't know how long they plan to keep you here. Now that the game is over.

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

ah, [ looks up at intensity. ] I don’t know either, but, if I had to guess, ...not long.

We’ve pretty much served our purpose and outlived our usefulness.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[His grip on Mokuba's hand tightens]

They can't keep you from me for long.

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

I don’t want to go, Intensity.

[ his voice wavers despite his best efforts to keep his tone even. ]

What if I hide in your dorm?
That should probably work... right?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Is tugging Mokuba into a corner now, away from everyone else]

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

[ sorry, he’s sorry. ]

[ he’ll try to be calm. ]

[ ... ]

[ it doesn’t really work. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Puts his hands on both of his shoulders and kneels down until he's eye level with Mokuba]

I'm coming for you. You know that, right?

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

I- I know, I didn’t... it’s just that I...

[ grabs intensity’s arms and holds them firmly. mokuba takes a deep breath and then swallows, trying to keep anymore of his emotions from getting the better of him. ]

I know you’ll come for me, Intensity. And I’ll wait. However long it takes, I’ll wait. [ grips him tightly. ] I just wish I didn’t have to... if I could stay, then... [ plucks his brother’s hands off his shoulders and walks forward until he can bury his face in his chest and hug him tight. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Gathers Mokuba up in his arms]

If I graduate, I can get a fucking monkey paw's wish out of it. If it can fucking transport people across worlds, then I can use it to buy you contract. All I have to do is impress the fucking Prince of Vengeance.

And you and I both know that being a vengeful shitlord is my specialty.

[bluescreenspiritdragon]

...there's no if, it's just when. If graduating is what you want to do, then you'll do it. You can do anything you set your mind to, Intensity. And I think he might need to get his eyes checked, because if mister big bad Prince of Vengeance isn't already impressed with you, then he must have more than a few screws loose.

[ h- heh. look. he can deflect with humor. it's fine. he's fine. all of this is fine. ]

[ he smushes his face straight into his chest. ] ...take his wish and then take his throne. [ muffled. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[All of this is fine]

I'll get the wish and get you back. Then we'll topple this regime just like the last one.

[Together.

Nope. Still much of a prideful pain in the ass to say that out loud. Though hopefully the squeeze he gives Mokuba is enough to convey the message]
