Who: B, C, you??
Where: Lobby,
When: Day 41 Morning

[TWO SMALLS ARE WANDERING BACK IN, having been completely gone all Day 40. They look annoyed but especially dolled up, due having been transferred away for a commercial shoot.]

Here's a fortune, who attacks with a Level 4 gnome with a Level 20 Mirror Bat?? The height advantage's just adding insult to injury!

[that's a question not a fortune]

If only! Nope, we got whisked away for a commercial shoot.

A commercial shoot...

You were outside Tokyo-F?

"Outside" is a bit too generous. We were confined inside a studio the entire time, no contact with any actual crew, if you're wondering.

And advertising for card games, apparently.

I'd ask if you enjoyed your vacation, but it sure doesn't sound like much of one.

Card games with some mirrors thrown in, because why not! But you'd be right, all work and only a bit of play. . .well, we were deadlocked in the match for nearly 12 hours so that was fun, but in general, I'd rather be here.

That's one of the most terrifying things I've ever heard come out of your mouth.

What can I say, nothing like a bit of stockholm syndrome to make you ready to embrace your unpaid idol life! Did we miss much?

Welcome back to your abusive relationship. You missed another round with Mukuro being his fucking charming self.

Whaaaat?! We missed a rare appearance! Jeeze, of all the luck! How'd he grace us with his presence this time?

Another one of his shitty trust games. Each unit received one poison, one water, and one antidote. They had to keep one and give away one to another unit. If they kept the antidote, they had to give away the poison.

Shocking very few people, Wild City and ☆ZRAEL went on the offensive. Looks like SensitIV and Taisho took the hits. Our unit tried to test the limits of the game, which resulted in us poisoning ourselves.

Now the poisoned are blind, hacking up flowers, have fevers, and all sorts of other weird shit.

[welp that gives far more context to N's words

but also]

. . .

Back up a second, are you poisoned like, right now?

I took a round of poison and antidote. As did Bell. They cancelled each other out.

The final time, Mukuro gave us two poisons and one antidote, so Bell offered to drink the poison so we could send the antidote to another unit. She has a strong sense of responsibility.

Oooh, the blue nerdy one. I mean, you're all nerds, but she specifically stands out a bit.

Well, that sucks, but was one hell of a fuck you, so congrats! I'd offer up some help but I dunno if our antidotes can counter actual poisons.

[Rolls his eyes at the nerd comment]

I couldn't repair Muerte so I think it's going to be a moot point.

It's fine. She's being taken care of.

[And she is more embarrassed (and angry) than anything anyway so---]

. . .

We didn't get Mukuro to talk to us directly. Even after fucking with his game.

Is that surprising? He probably wasn't the one who laid the game out, after all. Besides, taking the hit for yourselves isn't a very devilish move, if ya get me. He's not interested in that!

So how would you catch the eye of a hellspawn?

You've got to be just as hellish, obviously! But the problem there is your rep would take a nose dive. I just don't think he's all that interested in ~working together as a community~ kinda stuff, y'know?

He doesn't seem to be interested in much of anything outside of listening to himself speak as far as I can tell. Even Exael showed a little bit of personality.

Ever thought you might not have that much of a free will when your soul has been sold? It kinda makes me curious how your talks will go.

Are you saying he's might be even more of a puppet on a string than the rest of us?

I'm saying he might only say what his crew wants us to hear. It's a loooot easier to monitor a video chat, right?

But who knows, maybe he'll surprise you! It'll be interesting regardless.

Maybe. He and his will have to do something if they want most people to even consider the Hell option as a plausible course.

I'm sure they have their ways. We'll find out sooner or later though, right? Neeheehee, you've always got your eye on the end game!

And now onto more important matters.

What exactly was this card game you were marketing?

A strategy party game, except the goal was to fuck over all the other players. Whoever leveled up first wins, so we had to stop each other from doing that. Sooo like one of the performances here, but y'know, actually fun.
