Mukuro Questions Live!

[worldlyafflictions]

Who: Whoever
Where: Lobby, by the elevators
When: Day 55

[Starting around late morning, Pink drags one of the lobby side tables as well as a comfy chair over to the elevator landing, so that anyone going in or coming out has to pass by it. He has with him a simple cardboard ballot box that he dug up from pep!pep!'s polling supplies. It's got a clear pocket on the side that has a paper slid into it labeling it "QUESTIONS FOR MUKURO." He plops to a seat on the side table before calling for Media Attention, setting the box on his knees for the initial Live.]

Mornin', Idols!

Some of ya may recall recently hearing about Heart Soldier and Bad End working on getting points together ta go in on a chance ta speak with the esteemed Mukuro-san, one of the hosts for the events at the Game Tower! Weell, surprise~ AlcheME! seems ta have gotten there already and it won't be long before it's time for the first vidchat~! As a special favor ta B-kun, I'm holding a little preparation Live ta find out what kinds of questions people might have for Mukuro-san. Stop on by 'n submit a question! [wiggles the box before sliding directly into the chair, reaching down to bring up a stack of papers and a cup of pens, which he drops on the table for people to use. There's no electronic option today, unfortunately!]

Ooor if ya'd like ta avoid the cameras, you're welcome ta head up ta AlcheME!'s floor 'n leave your questions in their mailbox instead. I left plenty of papers 'n pens up there too. Looking forward to the results!

[Put your submissions HERE and view results here though your character won't see those. (if people want to submit non-text nonsense I can set up a top-level for it.)]

[ He might pause at the entrance ]

What is this about?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I want to talk to you in private. We won't be disturbed here.

[furrytailprince]

[ Shoots a wary look at the door and starts weighing his gnawing curiosity against his present distrust of practically everyone, his tail swaying in thought... ]






... fine.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What's with the hesitation? I thought we were business partners.

[furrytailprince]

[ There is a pause as he considers this, pushing around all the bitterness the game drenched him in and all the fogginess this stupid cold has left him with... It is true that there had been that conversation... ]

... ah, coworkers.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[As long as you accept that he's the boss anyway]

Then allow me to get you caught up on some things while others plan their move against Mukuro.

[furrytailprince]

[ Right. Mukuro. His promise to 99. His chance to actually do something.

Stepping over threshold. ]

I am listening.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Intensity motions Okami to follow him again as they make his way into his lab. That's where he conducts business after all.

Okami is free to peruse any of this shit that is hanging up on the walls]

Have you been informed about what happened to two idols during the Last Supper? The two that suicided during the game.

[furrytailprince]

[ He is definitely reading all of these, particularly pulling back at the descriptions of the Casino. Kind of answering while in a daze of horror. ]

... I know it was... Haruto and C. Nine-Nine tasked me to... speak with Haruto...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh good. He's been a difficult person to get a hold of.

And also doesn't seem to be the type of person who cares if he's fucking stuck in Idol Hell or not.

[furrytailprince]

... so this... casino is where C went. Haruto must have seen it as well.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I can only assume that is the case.

[furrytailprince]

I would not have thought that killing ourselves would have been one of their goal posts. But I suppose it makes sense if they are fighting Heaven for our alleged souls.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It is considered a sin. And thus part of Hell's domain.

But do help me figure out what this fucking means---

[He points to the section on Heaven that says "Homework - What does Heaven get out of all of this?"]

Apparently, Exael wants us to figure this out on our own.

[furrytailprince]

I thought the ultimate prize was our souls. Keeping them from adding to Hell's ranks.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Do you think that's what this is really about? Some game of making sure the other children don't get to play with the toys?

[furrytailprince]

From what I read, both sides can be extraordinarily petty. On the other hand, faith is supposed to strengthen the thing you believe in. Perhaps we are providing some sort of fuel to Heaven's side.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Except none of us actually fucking believe in Heaven's goodwill. Or if some do, they are in the very very small minority.

And if we did provide some sort of energy - why can't they just fucking say that up front?

[furrytailprince]

Perhaps giving into their demands constitutes a type of faith. Faith that doing so will earn their favor and therefore an end to our suffering. Much like Yasuragi did when Sol was in jeopardy.

That game occurred just after the arrival of the new unit, correct?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. But I believe that is unrelated.

Apparently new units are "scouted". But by who is still a mystery. There are too many other unknown factions outside of Heaven and Hell.

Lilith being one of them.

[furrytailprince]

Lilith is something else?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh she's a demon from Hell, all right. But not one under Azzy's employ.

In fact, she predates Azzy.

[furrytailprince]

She is his rival?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What did Exael say exactly...

[Scrolls through his phone:]

"Lily is way older than him. They're not a package deal, but I guess it's not surprising she's lurking around."

[furrytailprince]

Hmm, so they likely have different objectives. That also means it is highly possible Heaven has its own rivalries at play.
