Ideal World Endgame

[idolpro]

Who: Beautiful dreamers
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 271, morning

[When you wake, the folding chairs and divans from before have all been cleared away. You're lying asleep on the floor, healed of all injury.]

[You remember the events of the worlds you've visited as though visions seen in a dream -- though for those of you torn from your perfect existence, there is an ache inside you which will not fade for some days... the pain of something precious that has been lost.]

[Out beyond the windows of the tower, the sky is no longer a perfect blue; the vegetation is no longer as lush and inviting.]

[The view is of Tokyo-F, exactly as it's always been.]

[Near the far wall, there is an open book on a pedestal. The pages are empty. It is titled GUEST BOOK, and a pen waits nearby.]

GUEST BOOK | SOUVENIRS | WINNERS

[sighs]

I've nothing kind to say on the matter.

[but he's numbing Vergil, then, using fleshcrafting to shift the tips of his crystal fingers into claws. this will not be pretty.]

[innerdaemons]

[ man he wishes he could be poking around someone's insides right now

SIIIGH. ]

Your assistance, regardless, is appreciated.

[auguryofinnocence]

...Yes, thank you, Noah.

[HE DOESN'T NEED NUMBING IT'S FINE

but also thanks for the numbing really. It would definitely suck.]

I'm sure my ear is still around somewhere.

[Not going to say exactly why, but he does give Absinthe a weak grin. The least he can do is have a bad sense of humour right now.]

[crystallinelore]

[hums.]

Well, if one of you finds it I will gladly reattach it. Otherwise...

[vague gesture, then digging his claws into the wound in Vergil's shoulder. we're going bullet fishing.]

[innerdaemons]

[ - - he can't help but laugh. ]


Do you imagine I am so ill mannered as to eat scraps from the ground, hmm?

[auguryofinnocence]

Can't make me a new one? Shame.

[With it numbed this is all just fine and he isn't even looking quite as weak as he was, so, you go for that bullet, catte.

To Absinthe, though:]

You can rinse it off.

[crystallinelore]

I cannot make flesh where there is none.

[but also just like

looks between them]

Though you can... purchase flesh.

[YOU DON'T HAVE TO EAT YOUR BUDDY'S EAR? YOU DO NOT HAVE TO OFFER HIM YOUR EAR??? DUDES?]

[innerdaemons]

Which I do, quite often! You'd have to offer me something far fresher than a floor-ear to tempt me, my friend.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He'd shrug but Noah's fingers are in him.]

Just thought I should offer.

[He should probably find the ear once the rest of this is taken care of though, that would draw attention, and if he doesn't have to buy flesh then all the better.]

[crystallinelore]

'Tis good to know you have standards...

[ah. bullet found. pulling it out and sealing the now much messier entry wound.]

[innerdaemons]

And it is kind of you to think of my needs. Perhaps, if I were in a tad more desperate of a scenario, I would have said yes - - but fortunately I was spared from a fate like yours.

[auguryofinnocence]

You certainly got off a bit lighter.

[Standards are good too, probably. But Vergil sure wouldn't judge, he doesn't really see the difference but whatever.]

[crystallinelore]

[you guys uh. you talk about cannibalism more. he'll just keep going with the bullet fishing.]

[innerdaemons]

Alexander does have a bit of a soft spot for me, so it makes some sense.

[auguryofinnocence]

[you're a champ, noah]

How lucky for you. The one most partial to me is a bit incoherent right now.

[innerdaemons]

I imagine -- or hope, at least -- that will improve.

[auguryofinnocence]

He's strong, I imagine he will be, sooner or later.

[Mostly he's just telling himself that! But!]

[innerdaemons]

[ ... he gives him an awkward pat on the shoulder, as Noah is doing his thing with those bullet holes ]

[auguryofinnocence]

[Thanks.............

He's just going to watch Noah work because that's a good way to be distracted.]

I'm sure you'll have fun in the dorm. At least Baritones has so much space.

[crystallinelore]

[time for FACE CLAWING enjoy]

[innerdaemons]

A benefit of our many expansions!
