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. ]

[ snarls at his comment and lifts her claws up to deflect his attack, might 5 ( +armor )... so 2 damage! she doesn't QUITE manage to keep from getting hurt, so he clips her shoulder eliciting a hiss. ] And let's just say I'm a little bit... special. Not your average asshole. [ she chuckles. ]

I guarantee you're incapable of ending my suffering. In fact, by killing them [ motions to raven and noah and, idk, wataru is okay too maybe. ] you've only prolonged it. Some friend.

[ she's going to attempt to slash at HIS throat with might 7. ]

[Gladio is a touch too slow (roll 6) and any answer he might have given turns into a surprised yelp as Dva's claws tear a gash on the side of his neck.

Words aren't needed anyway, there's only duty, and he focuses on that, eyes somber but intense. He swings at Dva again, aiming to bring the axe down on her head, might 8]

[ she smirks from behind her claws. ] I knew I couldn't trust you. At least... at least *it* ate you too. [ she chuckles, taking the brunt of that swing because she's not strong enough to completely mess him up; might 3 (+armor)... 4 damage! ]

[ but this is... getting a bit difficult. dammit. she had hoped she could out muscle him, which, in retrospect, is pretty stupid, but still. she's going to sliiiide to the side and, instead of attacking, chug the gross green juice so she can get re-engergize. it's no mountain dew, but it's good enough. ]

[Sorry Dva, crazy Gladio has no friends and needs no friends.]

That's fine.

[As Dva backs up, Gladio attempt to use his first aid kit (3), but can't really do that with one hand on an axe and refusing to take his eyes off D.va. Giving up on the med kit, he instead tries to attack before D.va can get her guard up.

might 11]

It's not fine, but it'll all be fine as soon as I avenge my real friends. [ she's got a couple of adrenaline shots on her, so she's going to shoot up and then see if she can't go tango with big beef. ]

[ she grabs at his axe to see if she can't keep him from cleaving her in half, might 6(+4)=10, but she's still not strong enough. dammit. dammitdammitdammit. 0 damage because armor! ]

[ but she can't let this ( minor ) setback stop her, so she stays in his personal bubble and tries to drive her claws into his chest, might 11(+4)=15. ] I'm going to make you regret betraying me!

[Gladio doesn't see the point of talking, all Dva's doing is getting. In. The. Way.

His brow furrows as the axe deals a glancing blow. But she reminds him that he has adrenaline shots of his own, but unfortunately, he's still too close to Dva to avoid those claws as they dig into his chest

dodge 9 ]

[ she'll talk enough for the both of them then! ] Not going to fight me on this, Gladio? I knew it. I- I fucken knew it. [ she barks a laugh, but it's done in a ( feeble ) attempt to cover up all of the *other* feelings welling inside of her. she... though gladio was someone she could count on, but he's no different from the rest. he's no friend. ]

If you're not my friend, then you're my enemy!, and that means you deserve to suffer. I'm going to make this hurt. I'll make sure you NEVER forget!

[ she keeps on slashing at his middle, mostly because she's small and its convenient, but if she can spill his guts, then hooray; might 13. ]

Bleed for me. Die for me.

[Gladio was really trying to make this a fast one, but D.vas got a mouth on her. He tanks the hit (dodge 9)

and makes his own attack right in her face across the mouth (might 13)]

[ ♥ ]

[ ...oh, so this is... bad. she shoves herself away from him and leans back, so he can reach her head, but that basically leaves the rest of her wide open for an attack. ]

[ she wasn't fast enough.
she wasn't strong enough. ]

[ this sure does suck, is what she's thinking when he cleaves her straight in half. pink blood is going to get on eeeeeverything, sorrynotsorry, as she joins all of the other corpses. ]

... [ sighs. ] Do I, [ chokes & sputters. ] look put out of... outta my misery yet? [ a tired, very tired, laugh. ] M- Maybe I shoulda enlisted my... my, ah, monster friend again.

[Gladio examines the other corpses and takes what he needs (+camcorder, +vitality shot), his face grim as he listens to Dva.

He doesn't bother answering, there's nothing to say to a dead girl. But she keeps talking. Talking and talking and talking as Gladio drives his axe into her again.

and again.

and again.]

[ frowns as he loots the corpses. ]

...man, you, ah, y- you sure are sssstupid, huh? [ she chokes on a laugh, gore surging up her throat as it does inevitably get much harder to talk, though he'll continually hear her laugh as he hacks her up bit by bit by bit by bit by bit... ]

[ it tapers, and she just closes her eyes and sighs. she's not "dead", but maybe he'll just stop being a big dumb jock and leave her to suffer in peace. ]
