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
[ He is so, so, so tired, but this is just. Taking another sIV shift. ]
Re: Endgame
You are allowed to be unwell after the an ordeal as grave as that.
Re: Endgame
But then I'd be giving them the satisfaction.
[ Or at least one of them, the other twin doesn't seem as into their misery. ]
Re: Endgame
If you do it for your own sake, fine. But one does not need to be consoled, and especially not by you.
[translation: "you are the one who went through hell, there's no reason you should have to do the work cheering up someone who made it through without any incident at all." but unfortunately, she has a very low speech stat. sorry.]
Have you finished your work?
Re: Endgame
...My part of it, anyway. Everyone's as okay as they're getting for now.
[ Beat. ]
—Thanks.

[she looks at him blankly for a moment]
Ah, you are speaking of "sensitive"!
[she gets it now]
Re: Endgame
Yeah. I mean, don't get me wrong, I could nap, but I don't need a vacation yet.
[ also: he can't actually nap, sIV sleep is extremely weird ]
