[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.]

[In one piece, but heading over when he hears that.]

...you okay?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Duality's missing.

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, like - transferred?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No. As in the floor dropped out from underneath him before we were all tossed here.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Jesus.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .






And you and yours?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Has Intensity ever seen him look bitter before?]

[Probably not.]

We're just fine.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Sad? Yes. Bitter? No.]

Does that upset you?

[crossmyheartandhope]

The way we played when we didn't need to does.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

How many of those cards do you regret?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Too many of em.

I got outvoted, though, so. Pretty sure what I regret's not gonna help nothing.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Asking as honestly as possible:]

. . .

Is there a reason you will always put someone else's well being before yours?

[crossmyheartandhope]

It ain't that.

It's more - we hit the ground running.

And then no one hit us with nothing big, like ever, and we just - kept going? We coulda scaled it back from what we ended up with and been just fine.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

...

[Gestures for Hurricane to follow him to one of the corners of the room.

Away from everyone else]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[...]

[Ducks his head a little, but follows.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And when they are far enough away from everyone]

So what do you want to do about it?

[crossmyheartandhope]

...I dunno.

Try and make it up to the teams we hit hard, I guess? Pay em back for healing, and like - the arm, at least.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

How many limbs and body parts does that add up to?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Hhhesitates. Then:]

A finger, a limb, vocal chords, and a broken nose.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Hey Hurricane. Did you see FiN score? He's not gonna judge]

So 2,000 points there.

Hit anyone with any of the higher mental status effects?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Two of the memory loss ones. The five-pointers.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And all of these went through?

Or is intent enough?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Pretty sure the physical ones all went through.

The memories... I dunno.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

But if they hadn't gone through, would you still feel regret?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... less, probly?

Cause if they didn't go through, we'd've been blocking people who were hitting us. Only - almost no one was.
