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?

Re: Endgame
maybe a finger. or an ear.
All twitching??
So it seems like the tree part is just a tree just. the majority of his body parts are strewn in and around it.]
Re: Endgame
[ She proceeds to fucking dismantle that tree with her itchy sword hand ]
Re: Endgame
A BOMB
or rather a bunch of bombs disfigured and mangled bodyparts that intertwined with the tree when it sprouted. SOMEHOW HE'S STILL 'ALIVE'? one of his eyes looks very angry about this]
Re: Endgame
Stay put, I'll get someone to fix you up.
Re: Endgame
this is a lot to process]
Re: Endgame
Hanging in there?
Re: Endgame
EVENTUALLY, HE IS WHOLE. and just laying there]
Fuck this game.
Re: Endgame
[ She looks scary as fuck right now ]
Re: Endgame
You okay?
Re: Endgame
Of course I'm not. But it is what it is, and they're too pathetic to come face us. [ threats are easier than other things ]
Re: Endgame
Re: Endgame
The bloody fists are from trying to break down the glass. You were busy turning into foliage at the time, so I'm sure you didn't notice.
Re: Endgame
Re: Endgame
I guess watching probably would have been the worse option for him.
I'll make sure he's taken care of. Since I can't hack the Asshole Twins into fishbait I don't have anything else pressing that needs doing.
Re: Endgame
Good. He gonna need it.
Re: Endgame
I'm taking Doctor to the hotel, some of the rooms are actually not trashy. The one we like has an extra futon, if you want to come with us and rest a while.
[ Not a third wheel situation, an "everyone collapsing in heaps" situation. ]
...We'd probably kill some monsters on the way.
Re: Endgame
Nah. Watchin' yall be all lovey dovey would just make me nauseous.
[perfect excuse, nailed it]
Re: Endgame
Exactly what mood do you think I'm in after watching a bunch of torture?
I'm not going to force it, but you look like shit and it's a long way back to the dorms. Come rest a minute and then go off and murder things when you're fresh.
Re: Endgame
[a beat, then rubbing his head]
. . .thanks, but. I'm fine. I needa think about some shit.
Re: Endgame
All right, if that's what you want.
I hope you finally run into a tiger or whatever the situation was in there. [ Doctor's first words upon waking were something to that effect ]
Re: Endgame
[will they ever explain the context there. probably not.
but he will just chill in endgame before heading back to the dorm alone]
