Betrayal 3: Traitor Only Session

Who: You lot
When: To be inserted into the timeline after completion
What: A Certain Game

[ You are in an elevator, and it is not ascending into the Game Tower, no. This time, it's taking you down. You can feel it in the pit of your stomach, watch through the glass chassis as stone scrolls up and away and all around you becomes darkness.

And then, a screen flickers on. A bright, cheerful woman with fluffy pigtails waves at you with one hand, a brightly colored plastic crazy straw that's been speared through a few mango chunks in her other. Exael winks and speaks to the camera.

"And with summer comes what we all look forward to~ Summer Break! It's time to get away from hot stuffy Tokyo, and get away from it all! And so, everyone, we've brought your faa~avorite idols home here to you! In one of our very special hotels, for a very special game! Clasp your hands in prayer, hope real hard, and maybe you'll get a front row seat to their presence in the Hotel Omphalos!"

"May this show grant you Mirth, because soon starts—"

The broadcast cuts out.

The light does not return, as the elevator doors open. Instead, color so bright it can't be drowned out by the darkness spills in, and erodes the car away. You are left standing in an unfamiliar Hotel, and the game is just beginning. ]

[ He pauses. Did someone tell him that--either way? He can't remember. But.

That's not a part of the script.

The whole point--was that she was supposed to be out of her suffering now. ]

... No, that's not how it's supposed to work. I must have fucked up somehow.

Depends on your definition of “fucked up,” I guess.

... I don't take it you're here to thank me for that, are you?

I'm not. I'm going to take what you took from me.
neverbeentogeorgia: so at least I've got that going for me (dead on the inside but lookin' fine)

[ He should not joke, but ]

Taking your own life seems a bit dramatic, but I can’t argue it’d be the right choice, given everything you’re having to suffer through.

You know that's not what I meant.

Can't blame a guy for trying, right?

[ he's considering his options right now


there don't seem to be many, although he could at least smash a bottle and try to stab her. it'd be a painful way to go, though--definitely not a clean way to put her out of her misery. it'd be easier if she'd drink something--he could put bleach or poison in--but there's no way she'll trust him now that he's revealed the cards in his hand. he can at least continue to try to stall for time and ideas. ]

So what's the plan, then? Me, in the break room, with a candle stick?
