WED BED BEHEAD

[anguishallure]

Who: trauma party
Where: the game tower
When: Day 349, evening

[Today when you enter the game tower, you find yourself on what appears to be a large stage. The curtain lifts, showing you a packed house -- not with a real audience, though. The seats are full of mannequins wearing dramatic 18th century-style clothing.

Your hologram announcer today is a completely new Host, too! A tall and slender man with long dark hair, dressed equally dramatically to the mannequins including a cape and a masquerade mask, gestures broadly at all of you with sweeping theatrics.]

Welcome, our beloved idols and precious audience, to our latest foray into the twisted hearts of men! I, Grimoire of the Dark Sun Anemone, come to open a window to the chill of cruelty, the passion of loyalty, and the bloody battle between the two! Please witness with your whole black souls the beauty of love and despair!

And also, party games!

Faced with a choice between those they adore and those they abhor, our idols must now choose who to "wed", who to "bed", and who to "behead"!

--My goodness, aren't rhymes just lovely?

...Ah, yes! Now, fall into darkness and become your most beautiful, broken selves!

[Anemone pulls an oversized and incredibly stupid lever, and the floor drops out from under you -- you drop into a void, and all goes black.]

[Hello.

You're getting levitated and zipped towards Hecate, as she stumbles forward on nothing but pure determination to do her job.

Heal. Heal.]

[adorabilities]

[... can you heal when dead...?]

[speaknoevil]

[Izanagi said, get their bodies fixed up BEFORE peps get here. So when they wake, they aren't still bleeding.

She can do that at least. Even if, once Aster is whole, Hecate's expression is still stricken.]

Why...

[adorabilities]

[because.... they aren't smart.

she is scarred to hell and back now, and she jerks up suddenly with a scream]

[speaknoevil]

AHH!

[WAIT SHE THOUGHT ONLY PEPS COULD REVIVE???]

[adorabilities]

[TURNS OUT, THEY WERE ACTUALLY... ALIVE ALL ALONG. but barely, and then she's just going to immediately start sobbing]

[speaknoevil]

Oh... n-no, don't...

[WHAT DOES SHE DO. UM.

H-headpats???]

[adorabilities]

[she... doesn't seem to notice them, just quietly crying out,]

No, no, no, no...

[speaknoevil]

I'm... I'm sorry.

[She strokes her hair a little longer, but necessity calls to her. Once people start finding Aster, she pulls herself away - duty calls.]

[polarislight]

Please, wait.

[As she tries to leave, Northstar reaches a hand out and lightly grasps Hecate's shoulder.]

[speaknoevil]

A-ah?

[She stops, but she looks like she really wants to go.]

[polarislight]

[She swallows.]

I'm.

I'm Northstar. May I please have your name?

[speaknoevil]

[Her voice is unsteady, like she's not used to speaking.]

...Hecate.

[polarislight]

Hecate.

[She bows her head, arms at her side.]

Thank you. Thank you for helping my unitmates.

I won't. I won't keep you any longer, I just want you to know. I won't forget about this.

[speaknoevil]

Everyone-- rely on us. Healing.

I'll heal.

[It's her job. She's here to do her duty.]

[polarislight]

We do. We'd be completely lost without you.

I...I appreciate it. Genuinely.
