[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a chapel.

You're wearing bloodstained versions of your uniform, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME% in the year %CONTEMPORARY%+1. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing the results of a recent attempt at revolt in a city in %COUNTRYNAME%: worker’s success at managing a nearby gold mine led to dreams of every man being a king - the revolutionaries may have been successful had it not been for a concurrent jailbreak and mass slaughter putting local authorities on alert, buying time for military intervention - the town was nearly leveled to the ground, with few survivors.

But you seem to remember - you survived, didn’t you? You were the rioters.

...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh. You were them too, weren't you?

Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

Cardigan: Brains and beauty in one sophisticated package. Truly a work of art.

Lancelot: Who doesn't need a partner with a good head on his shoulders? Or if you need a head removed from shoulders, he's good for that, too!

[Hey did someone call for an idol who smells of burnt flesh and trash, with pus oozing from his horrible wounds, his hair seared off and voice raw from screaming, barely recognizable from burning, unable to stand because his legs are barely held together with stitched up meat?

He's just kinda. Here. On the ground.]

Nero, you—

[ aaaaAAAAAAAAAA???? ]

Gods, are you—can you hear me? Please.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

[A weak rattle of breath is pretty much all he can reply with.]

Re: DISCUSSION

...Stab him, put him out of his misery.

Re: DISCUSSION

[purrrnicious]

[What!!]

[Just raises a hand like she's going to reach for him -- and then lets it drop again, curling her tail in tight to herself.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

[After he's healed, he'll... still be pale, shaking. His prosthetic is destroyed and his hair's been burned off in gross patches. He tries to stand but-- gives up pretty quickly.]

...A-and that's why... we buy... s-stabheals...

Re: DISCUSSION

[honoring]

--Aidios, Griffin, that's...

[Lance will kneel next to him and examine the wounds more closely.

Fucking bad!!!

He's just not at the point of saying that yet.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[Cardinal is covered in glitter! And blood. Whatever their wounds are, they're covered by their uniform. ]

Ugh.

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

...What happened?

Re: DISCUSSION

[deicider]

[shakes their head.]

Really itchy. How long was I gone?

Re: DISCUSSION

[softlyfalling]

Are you—what happened? Are you all right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[deicider]

[waves their hand like 'I'm fine'. They summon a blade and quickly stab themself.]

Nice of the host to leave these on for once.

Re: DISCUSSION

[purrrnicious]

What––what happened?

[And why is Griffin so much worse???]

Re: DISCUSSION

[deicider]

[Casually going to summon a dagger and stab themself through the wrist.]

I got covered in glitter and it was really itchy.

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

[After folks are back up and running]

So--things're going about as expected. For next time... We gonna make a go at it, or just--forget it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Weakly, still hoarse,]

H-how're we... supposed t'beat a score... in the 20's?

Re: DISCUSSION

[softlyfalling]

...we'd have to put out a lot of downvotes, if we wanted to.

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

Technically we only need to beat a 1.

If we downvote everybody else... And then get people to vote for us, I guess we could give it a go.

Re: DISCUSSION

[softlyfalling]

We still have to field someone, right? I'll go twice.
