GAME | WINNERS & HEALING

Threaded | Flat

☆ZRAEL wins 800 + 300 bonus win for being the rowdiest and also getting all 3 punishments protected
future is now, WILD CITY, Heart Soldier Senshi, AlcheME!, and avante en garde receive the normal 800 point win for getting 2 punishments protected
The above units are painlessly healed, with the following results:
- Punishment 1 - Exsanguination: The tubes are naturally ejected from the body, and all wounds heal shut, leaving trace amounts of scars behind. However, those affected may still feel the status effects for a day or so.
- Punishment 2 - Freezing Gas: The frostbitten bodyparts are no longer frostbitten, but are still unpleasantly cold. Those affected may still feel the status effects for a day or so.
- Punishment 3 - Branding: The burn wounds immediately heal, leaving behind the pattern as a faint scar (rather than a deep scar). Those affected may still feel the status effects for a day or so.
Losers are left unhealed, and will experience the status effects for the next 2-3 IC days.
- Punishment 1 - Exsanguination: Tubes can be removed after 1 IC day. Until then, they feel like they're stuck/part of the body.
- Punishment 2 - Freezing Gas: Frostbite may be resolved either via pep!pep! rejuvenating the bodyparts or by replacing the bodyparts.
- Punishment 3 - Branding: Regardless of healing via sensitIV wound sealing or healing via regeneration, the scars remain.
sensitIV will find they can only use 1 of their healing abilities at a time when healing injuries from this game.
Pawned off bodyparts will not regrow/re-attach to the idols until 2-3 IC days have passed.
Vergil is given the bare minimum revival. Upon waking up, he will re-experience the punishments he endured while he was dead as visions with accompanying pain.

[Between the blood loss and the burns, Serenity feels light-headed and weak. She's pretty sure at least one of the tubes hit something important, because beyond the dizziness, there's a shortness of breath that doesn't subside.

She has bruises, tubes, burns... there's so much to think about and frankly her brain isn't really capable of keeping up.

Her footing is a bit wobbly-- her legs feel like jello. So she braces herself against the wall to try and steady herself.]

...I'm really... grateful... we didn't have to endure all three.

[ Gurling on her own blood and wheezing while covered in tubes that have been injected into her body, bleeding out from the immovable objects. Eyes glowing a deep red, she jerks horribly, panicked by anyone who approaches. Her wings and body have been pierced at multiple points and her back is horribly burned where she has been branded like cattle. She thrashes, rising up, only to stumble back over and cry out as she scrambles further back from everyone. ]

[ WELL THIS SUCKS. he's got tubes coming out of him and also is kind of very frostbitten ]

[ hello naughty children guess who is now incredibly hangry and is very injured and has lost most of her blood and is losing more due to ripping the tubes out of herself haphazardly, albeit stiffly, because it's less easy to move when there is now giant still-oozing deep burn scarring across your back?

hungry vampire do not be eaten, etc ]

[Ow. There's still tubes sticking out and a pretty nasty burn from the branding on his exposed back, so he's just going to, lay here for a few minutes longer,,]

[Nyx will definitely want to help people with healing... just not, like, immediately. It might almost be something of a relief to finally have The Bad Stuff occur and to know that he can get through it, honestly?
That does not, however, mean that he can stand up in the direct aftermath of getting tortured and having his blood sucked out, though. Ow. He's curled up on his side (not his back, OW), breath ragged and tears from the pain trailing down his face.]

[ well. ok

she's kind of just curled up here, breathing very deliberately and slowly, not even yet addressing the fact that there is a brand in the shape of a pointed crown across her back.

eventually she fumbles for one of her pockets to pull something out and put it in her mouth. it might be candy. ]

[The cracked and bleeding skin closes up, and the frozen internal bleeding eases, but it doesn't do much for the feverish glaze to his eyes, or the unusual flush to his cheeks, or the shivering he can't quite tamp down]

[There are people way worse off than he is, though, so - time to go look for his people]

[Someone got a full heal! But he was just full of tubes and bleeding horribly so he'll go ahead and take a moment to fall to one knee, trying to collect himself. Then the first manic burst hits and he's up and racing towards anyone who might need help.]

All right all right all right, what can I do? We probably have to help the healers help themselves first. Maybe some avante people can do some of that sword healing too. Plus, people who weren't here for the game will show up soon, right? Right?

[arrives at the game tower.

...immediately looking for his unitmates. also I guess if you need healing he can help with that.]

[At least alive but barely and missing limbs is how half of them are?? That makes it better right?

Vergil's laying there, trying to push himself up, but for one he only has one arm, and it's much too weak to do more than get him halfway into a pushup. He gets only the most shallow breaths and bleeding from...well everywhere, the deep cracks all over his skin, his mouth, spots the tubes had been. Neither of those help either but especially slipping on all the blood he's laying in so his chin hits the floor.

He really, really fucking hates this. Too close to home man.]

[What's to complain about? She can move, she can breathe, she can feel something dark and tight and burning on her lower back, pretty much everybody else is looking half-dead...]

[Cool cool cool this is fine]

[Oh. Okay. Yeah, Pan sort of gets the whole argument why limb removal isn't so bad. Not sure if he fully agrees yet, but also wow this sucks. He's just gonna lie here for a moment, tubes sticking out, bleeding everywhere, breathing painfully raspy.

He sort of just wants to lie here but.

But.

There are teammates...to find...He's gonna try to find some way to hobble onto his feet, this is probably not a smart idea but also feelings are also heightened up SO.]

[ cool cool cool

no branding here but she's full of tubes and bleeding from everywhere and trembling violently so just.

silently curling up in a ball. ]

[ It's hard to even process his thoughts, right now -- He's dizzy from the bloodloss and it's hard to draw in breath, he knows he shouldn't touch the tubes that have been shoved into him but he keeps needing to in order to remind himself that they're real and there. When his breathing catches, he coughs- there's more blood, of course there's more blood. ...He's cold. Cold is too light of a word to call it, but he's cold.

And, in the moment - he can't even bring himself to his feet, instead curling forward on the ground, wrapping his trembling arms around himself in some vain attempt to self-soothe while he feels a-- crushing and awful feeling deep in his chest that he thought that he was rid of, while his ruined body leaks a pool of his stupid incandescent blood. ]

[What's up everybody, here's your new favorite ZRAEL! It's hard to stand with just one good leg, so once abilities are back in play properly Stiletto is just going to levitate both herself and Aradia. For the only unit to escape all punishments, Stiletto looks pretty terrible: one arm missing, a nasty stab-through gash in her leg, blood all over her, bullet wound in the other shoulder... sure is nice to win, huh?

She does not look around, seemingly uncaring about what else is going on around her. It's not like ZRAEL abilities would be useful to help others, anyway, so once the tower doors are open she's just... going to leave, probably towing Aradia's unconscious body with her. Bye losers.]

[Levity screams as the plate is pressed against his back, screams until he runs out of breath and dissolves into shallow, helpless little gasping sobs. After what seems to be an eternity of pain he's finally released and slumps forward against the floor, gasping air, his vision simultaneously dark and filled with colourful dots. But the pain at least disappears rather quicker than he expected, and within ten minutes Levity recovers enough to shakily pull himself up to his knees, still breathing heavily. He looks around muzzily and then struggles up on his feet, summoning his assistant to lean against it. Time to... look for friends.

The brand on his back, healed into a faint scar, is a network of stylized geometric lines and shapes - seemingly meaningless, but those familiar with a certain cityscape might recognize it. And those who know the history might realize why the lines of some buildings are broken up, and what the falling-star streaks across them mean.]

[Lily is not having a good time.

With a remarkable display of foresight, she guesses that it's probably not good to breathe the vapour in and she is capable of a long breath hold. It's a little difficult, though, to maintain that under the assault of agony so she slips a little and breathes some in, enough to do some harm, but hopefully not as much.

Her skin splits and cracks like fissures forming in dry ground, blood seeping between the cracks. She can't see them, she's wearing gloves, but she can feel her fingers chill and swell with frostbite, the fabric stretching and straining to accommodate their larger size. Some numbness follows, but not nearly enough, not nearly enough to dull the pain.

When the brand presses to her back, her eyes widen and she screams. Her skin sizzles as it's seared, she can smell it being cooked. She falls onto her elbows, breathing heavily, voice raw from screaming her pain. She feels, but she separates, compartmentalized and after a few minutes pushes herself back onto her feet.

The pattern on her back is something no one is like to recognise, but there is an angular, geometric sort of symbol on her skin.]

[between the tubes and the brand his already aesthetically torn up shirt is now just scraps, so he's just...going to start gingerly pulling the rest of it off.

the brand on his back is a simple design, just the thick outline of a circle.]

Shit... I liked this shirt.
