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?

I'm- ok, don't worry.

[There was a breath closer to a gasp and a cough in there but look, it's better than it could be.]

[we are doing our best]

[...she's watching him, trying to let him do his thing]



Would you care for any assistance with rising or walking?

I'm-

Then, kindly extend your arm to the side, that one might lift you.

[He'll do as instructed, maybe still a little shaky despite himself.]

[She ducks under his arm so that it lays right across her shoulders. Her shoulders are about two feet across, and her feathers are very warm and soft.]

There we are. Hold as tightly as you are able, now.

[She'll carefully rise to her feet, doing her best to support him and give him some stability so he can get to his feet, too.]

[
oh yeah this voice is attached to a bird. okay. honestly these feathers are nice and soft and soothing after a long day, A+.

He manages something to the effect of "yes ma'am", one arm on birb with the opposite hand stifles any more petals from escaping at this inopportune moment. Up he goes. He seems to have some trouble getting the balance thing down for a moment, but he should find his feet soon enough with her help.]

One would carry you outright if one could. But alas, one's strength in this realm is all but depleted.

However, one shall walk beside you as long as you need.
