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. ]

Oh?

[Takes. One. Step.]

But I am perfectly sane.

....You don't seriously think I'm that stupid, do you?

I am. It's everyone else who've lost their minds. Frankly I don't understand why you all can't keep it together.

[another step!]

Which one of us is covered in blood right now. Although.... that's probably about to change.

[ And with a mighty swing and a vroom, he swings the chainsaw at Thancred! ]

[Aaand he sidesteps, revving up his own chainsaw and coming in, aiming for the waist.]

As I thought. You're as insane as the rest of them!

No more than I usually am!

[ He's off-balanced by Thancred's dodge, which means although he'll try to dodge Thancred's blow he's getting at least somewhat hit by that. He lets out a gasp of pain. ]

You attacked me.

[Thancred was being totally reasonable, of course! All he did was walk near Ordine. He may have been provoking but it was just a test, right? Just to see if there really was anyone sane left.

There's not, so he's going in for another cut.]

Excuse me for not—

[ He grunts, swinging wildly with the chainsaw. ]

—wanting to die!

[ He can't really dodge that well with the injury he already has but he's sure trying to. ]

[One of Crow's hits lands! Thancred's got a very ugly, heavily bleeding gash across his chest, now. But it's not at all stopping him. He's thinking...

...off with your head, perhaps?]

If you die here, it is your fault!

Says the guy who didn't listen to the warning to leave me alone!

[ Vroom vrooom as he gives another hefty swing, but it does in fact leave a pretty good opening for a beheading. ]

Hm. And here I thought we got along.

[Oh well. He's getting that slice in, chainsaw ripping through Ordine's neck and spraying blood everywhere in the process!]

[ He doesn't really have a reply to that. Or to anything really, his eyes going wide as his head separates from his body, falling to the ground in two pieces.

His second to last thought is, "Fuck, washing blood out of my hair is gonna be a pain."

His last thought is really just a flash of an image. Fuscia eyes and dark hair, exasperated and worried in equal measures.

Well. There are worse things to die thinking about. ]
