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?

[ as soon as she's revived. ] Let's get out of here. [ offers her a hand. ]

[ he helps her up. ] I had one of the constructs bring the Ambulance here, so we can get back the the hotel quickly. [ since he no longer has any alcheme abilities. ]

Sounds good.

[It's practically a croak. Her voice is not doing so hot after getting torched, ironically.]

[ he's going to use himself to shield her from everybody else, summoning his gun!aranara to lead the way out of the building and to the ambulance which is sitting just outside beside his newly built construct. ]

[ zoom zoom zoom back to the hotel. ]

Have you been adequately healed or is there anything else ailing you?
threatmewted: ([Ugh] have I done now)

Re: Endgame

[personal profile] threatmewted 2023-02-02 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure Z got it all. At least, I think he's the one who healed me.

[Don't mind her just buying off all those scars thanks.]

If Z is the one that did it, then I'm sure he took care of everything. A shame we couldn't keep at least that ability... then we wouldn't have to rely on anybody for, well, much of anything!
threatmewted: ([Smug] Go on)

Wouldn't have to keep paying even more points for losing, either.

...yeah. [ he huffs. ] At least we can avoid that this time. I really don't like putting myself in their hands, honestly. [ no one digs around dottore but dottore! ] Hopefully I have enough points to buy off all of my scars. I spent quite a lot on making those machines...
threatmewted: ([Ugh] Some things are)

Maybe we should run a prank live soon. Rack up some points.

We should either frame it in a way to make people do counterLives or grab at least two other units to get the bonus from a multiHost Live.

Do you have any ideas?
threatmewted: ([Smug] Go on)

Re: Endgame

[personal profile] threatmewted 2023-02-09 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Dunno. I was mostly thinkin' it'd be fun to dunk on some of the other units.

[ a chuckle. ] We could do that. It's not like we didn't get literally dunked on last game, because they finally decided to take it easy on us.
