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?

[even after being healed, he seems disinclined to get off the floor. he's just going to lay here in a pool of blood for a while now. as one does.]

Well, that sucked. Never almost died three times in a fucking row before.

[would try to pick him up, as he usually potato sacks him, but...can't manage it for ???? reason???]
carrionmywaywardsun: (but I won't)

[for some reason this strikes him as incredibly funny, so he's just giggling laughing while going as limp as possible to make this even more difficult for Xiao]

Not this time, motherfucker!

[just kind of clicks his tongue and lets him flop on the ground giggling.]

[give him a few minutes until he runs out of breath. at which point he'll have a coughing fit which results in him coughing up water to join the blood puddle.]

Son of a fucking bitch. Figures that wasn't enough.

[more coughing]

Gimme a minute, I can walk back.

...Fine. [standing up again. looking around if there are more people that need healing.]
