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?

[ To explain away the dumb? He doesn't know. He's just hoping to make her smile a tiny bit. ]
Re: Endgame // vague bodyhorror
Considering I usually mate with my enemies I'm not sure how that tracks.
Re: Endgame // vague bodyhorror
is this news to him I feel like it's need to himbut his reaction would be the same basic thing of]...are you sure they're supposed to be your enemies?
Re: Endgame // vague bodyhorror
[ Given that she's holding Doctor's corpse this might be understandable ]
Re: Endgame // vague bodyhorror
—We can definitely talk about it when you want to. [ Correctly quickly: ] If. No obligation.
Re: Endgame // vague bodyhorror
I'm not trying to keep secrets or anything. It's just not relevant here. So you're not worried.
Re: Endgame // vague bodyhorror
Your call, but things that bother you are always gonna be relevant from where I'm standing.
Re: Endgame // vague bodyhorror
...You probably don't love hearing that I know, but if I'm going to change my mind about accepting myself it's not going to happen right now.
Re: Endgame // vague bodyhorror
[ Squeezing again. ]
Re: Endgame // vague bodyhorror
It's just a lot, and this place never gives me a second to breathe to figure out what I think about it.
