Go Fish: Trauma Edition

Who: Naughty little fishes
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 527


[So there you are, minding your own business on a completely normal day.]

[Then you blink —



[— and find yourself, and many other idols, in an unfamiliar room.]

[The room is large and round and made of glass, like a globe. ...No, like a fish bowl.]

[On the other side of the glass walls, you can see indistinct shapes moving around, but the glass distorts the light so much that anything farther than arm’s length is just vague smears of colors and shadow blending with your own reflection. But something is there. Possibly a lot of somethings. ]

[Two formless shapes approach the glass, and as they do, their images resolve into the shapes of a pair of twins, one grinning while the other pointedly looks away from his brother. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the one who actually looks cheerful about being here is the first to speak up:]

Guess what~? You’ve been chosen to play in our very first game. Isn’t that exciting?

[He throws his arms out theatrically.]

Especially after soooo many boring games. The audience is looking for excitement and thrills here! Why not take the chance to really cement yourself as the fan favorite while you have the chance? Heck, it might even fix your little... “problem.”

[There’s a beat of silence, and he moves to elbow his brother who shoots him a “hey what the hell?” look before reluctantly facing the gathered idols.]

...Make sure you protect yourselves. Otherwise...

[He just lets the thought trail off before looking away again. His brother leans on him, resting an elbow on his shoulder as though waiting for him to continue before finally giving up and shaking his head with a sigh.]

You heard him! Give this game all you’ve got - got it?

[ hums, closing his eyes for a moment. ] It’s lose-lose. But if we win we’ll just have to spoil them rotten.

[ Nodding and sniffling because honestly what can she do but try not to make this worse on him? ]

So spoiled. Spoiled until they forget this place even exists.

Exactly. [ he can’t wait until this is over… and apparently they ended up winning, so a punishment never comes their way. having to watch their loved ones maimed and killed, aside. ]

If you need anything feel free to text me, but I’ll likely be kidnapping Zhongli for at least a day. [ for all that spoiling. ]

Thanks. Same for you. [ She gives him another squeeze ]

All I need is Doctor and a place to go. I'm not sure we can get in our dorms like this, but the hotel is closer anyway. Not all the rooms are trashy.

I still think we should be able to. Even though our abilities and appearances have been changing nonstop we were originally sorted into a unit and I'm sure our phones recognize that much. I haven't checked, but I don't think our profiles have changed at all.

But I hope you both are able to have a relaxing evening. [ since he knows she'll likely be vibrating as much as he is. ]
