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?

At least there were no tentacles in the water.
Re: cw: hanahaki
Yes.

Yes.
Re: cw: hanahaki
Zhongli at least has the foresight to catch the petals in his hands as he coughs them up. ]
Re: cw: hanahaki
My. You are soaked through and through.
[she flicks a leaf away.]
Pray, what is it you desire in this moment? Speak, and one shall do one's utmost to make it so.
Re: cw: hanahaki
Water.
Re: cw: hanahaki
Very well.
[She has absolutely no idea how she will accomplish this, but she will Figure It Out. she turns and starts to waddle off. brb]
Re: cw: hanahaki
As is stands, he simply lays down on the Game Tower flower and awaits her return. ]
Re: cw: hanahaki
Re: cw: hanahaki
Blink.
Blink. Blink.
Oh.
He's also hallucinating. ]
Re: cw: hanahaki
There you are. Water.
Re: cw: hanahaki
You have arms.
Re: cw: hanahaki
Well!
You see, has purchased a "unit ability" by the name of "Polarize", which allows one the power to either attract or repel objects toward a target -- for example, one's own body. It is through this method that one carries one's phone; one affixes it to one's breast, and thus one may transport such a slippery and difficult device on one's person wherever one may venture.
Additionally, has mastered the technique for making purchases on said phone, but the items are delivered directly to one's domicile. For this reason, one returned to the domicile just now, to retrieve this water one has purchased. One thought one might carry this vessel with the use of Polarize, but it seems one's abilities, along with those of a good many others in this realm, have ceased functioning correctly, ever since that strange phenomenon in the night.
One's fruitless attempts to use Polarize were so strenuous, and one's desire to affix this object to one's person so powerful, that one abruptly sprouted the pair of human arms you see before you. It is no trick of the imagination, nay! One has done it with sheer force of will alone!
[also, her current Wild City powers help]
Thus was one able to carry this libation to you.
