Pretty Pretty Princess: Redux

Who: Those Who Play Games
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 300

[ Today you step out of the elevators and into the game room to find yourselves in an airy Grand Ballroom. Maybe, if you've been here long enough--you might recognize this room?

At the front of the room is a buffet table featuring finger sandwiches, petit fours, and savory pastries as well as a variety of small desserts complemented by bottoms-up turned teacups and steaming hot kettles set up for self-serve. From nowhere to be seen comes the sound of instruments playing. Up above, tethered to the ceiling, are what appear to be long curtains. …

The small, square tables feature place cards that as of yet are mysteriously empty, but other than that--there is nothing on the table. Those who have walked in and might prefer to walk out again will find they are mysteriously barred from exiting…. ]

[EL OH EL TIME]

You're seriously tell me that? You have no idea.

Re: ENDGAME

[hissterics]

[ Drags both hands down her face ]

Anyway, I yelled at her and told her to just kiss whoever she wants if she's so mad about it, and she ran off. So that's probably what she's off doing now.

Re: ENDGAME

[purrrnicious]

Obviously. She already did.

Re: ENDGAME

[hissterics]

[ She pauses, tail lashing uselessly.

And then drops back down to sit on the ledge. ]

I don't know what to do.

Re: ENDGAME

[purrrnicious]

You think I do? At least yours stuck around.

People think you're so great. They hate me.

Re: ENDGAME

[hissterics]

Yeah, I really don't think anyone thinks I'm so great.

And anyway-- who cares about them? They don't matter.

Re: ENDGAME

[purrrnicious]

Adora's entire team has tried to get me killed, thinks it doesn't matter if I'm dead, or is D.Va. But they loooooove you.

Or how about pep? Bet they wouldn't drop you off a cliff in your sleep, or into a pit of spikes.

[She huddles up, hugging her knees tight to her chest.]

Re: ENDGAME

[hissterics]

Half those units don't even know me.

[ Her tail flicks a little ]

What does "is D.Va" mean?

Re: ENDGAME

[purrrnicious]

"Is D.Va" means she freaks out if I say I don't trust her, and then screws me over as soon as I'm dumb enough to trust her.

Re: ENDGAME

[hissterics]

What did she even do?

Re: ENDGAME

[purrrnicious]

What? Which part?

Re: ENDGAME

[hissterics]

The "screw you over" part.

Re: ENDGAME

[purrrnicious]

It's, I don't know. . . old stuff. Does it matter, any more?

Re: ENDGAME

[hissterics]

. . . Not if you don't think it does, I guess.

Re: ENDGAME

[purrrnicious]

[She glances at Sabre, then sighs, running her claws through her hair.]

It was back when we had all those extra units. Everyone piled on us, Eichi turned on me the minute his precious Wataru showed up, Shadow Weaver was. . .

[Well. Sabre knows.]

She came to pick me up because I couldn't walk, so she knew how hard we were hit. So I thought she'd keep Heart off us. BARiTONES wanted to play against them in the fourth round, I talked them out of it, and then they hit us with a nine point card even though they were leading the game with, like, fifty points.

I was an idiot. Okay?

Re: ENDGAME

[hissterics]

[ Oh.

This is a lot of new information suddenly ]

That's not on you.

Re: ENDGAME

[purrrnicious]

Yes. It is. Because I know better.

Re: ENDGAME

[hissterics]

Maybe.

But it sounds like she should've known better, too.

Re: ENDGAME

[purrrnicious]

She doesn't. She's like that. She wants to do whatever she feels like, and gets upset if there's consequences.

Re: ENDGAME

[hissterics]

[ . . . ]

Well, like you said -- you're not with her anymore.

And like I said -- who cares about them? There are only a few people who ever actually matter. Just focus on them.

Re: ENDGAME

[purrrnicious]

I don't care. I told her I was done with her. She was just going to keep letting her stupid unit do whatever they wanted to me.

Re: ENDGAME

[hissterics]

[ There's not much she can say, exactly, since the very people Kohime resents are the ones who've actually come through for Sabre, against all odds.

She just sights, tired suddenly. ]

I dunno how everyone here has so many wives. That kind of thing must happen all the time. You always have to hit somebody.

Re: ENDGAME

[purrrnicious]

What?

Re: ENDGAME

[hissterics]

Like D.Va, or Nerd, or any of them who are all devoted to like a dozen people. If you've got one on every unit then you're gonna have to hit one at some point.

[ She's antisocial and dating nobody and yet even she had to deal with this in God's game, it's terrible ]

Re: ENDGAME

[purrrnicious]

Uh, that's not what I––

. . .Forget it. "Nerd"?
