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?

It's necessary. [like he's definitely moving, and while he's as graceful as ever, there's something subtly wrong with how he's moving.]

For you, one imagines it is.



[...anyway, she's just going to tag along while he heals people. Just kinda blatantly follow him around. Supervising.]

[how close is she staying to him? within ten feet?

as usual, he's not much of a conversationalist, but the more he moves, the more apparent that there is something physically Wrong with him.

[She's obnoxiously close. Like, just barely out of arm's reach. She's not disguising the fact that she's tagging along At All.]

[She notices he's not right, but doesn't say anything. She's just keeping him company until he has finished healing everyone.]
gravitydefier: (of your blazing sun)

...there was no need to follow me. [once he is done, finally.]

True.

But one does as one pleases. As do you.

[clicks his tongue and is about to say something else, but a wave of weakness passes over him and he catches the wall, suddenly.]
