BARiTONES

[idolpro]

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

You're wearing bloodstained (but fancy!) versions of your uniforms, 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? In fact, you were one of the rioters.

...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh.

Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

[Cosmo looks really pissed and not in character at all and may be ranting some so he just looks down at Absinthe with like, zero empathy actually. Hi. Nice to meet you zombie man.]

...Well you're a mess.

Re: After round 3

[innerdaemons]

Truly, I did not notice.

[ the change in attitude doesn't even seem to phase him at the moment, his voice a strained hiss ]

Re: After round 3

[unskippablecutscene]

[Leaning in to examine those corruption cuts.]

Well, we were all foolish this time. You're leaking. Is this the rot you mentioned?

Re: After round 3

[innerdaemons]

You should be a detective by profession. Yes -- it is.

[ he's very stinky. and it might look like -- the flesh is even rotting, with him being that close to inspect. ]

Re: After round 3

[unskippablecutscene]

[Smells he really doesn't care about. He's smelled them all.]

Well, how interesting. If you plug up the holes will they corrupt what's used upon them?

Re: After round 3

[innerdaemons]

It is not so powerful. Only inconveniencing.

Re: After round 3

[unskippablecutscene]

Well then I'm sure you'll endure.

I suppose I bear some responsibility for this.

Re: After round 3

[innerdaemons]

And you say that ... why?

Re: After round 3

[unskippablecutscene]

Had I not been so intent on keeping my facade I would not have allowed this last round to go this way.

Re: After round 3

[innerdaemons]

Why bother with facade in the first place?

Re: After round 3

[unskippablecutscene]

Something to discuss later, perhaps, when your own innards aren't eating your flesh.

Re: After round 3

[innerdaemons]

-- yes, yes.

I need a meal...

Re: After round 3

[unskippablecutscene]

Human?

Re: After round 3

[innerdaemons]

[ he nods. ]

Though anything close to it suffices.

Re: After round 3

[unskippablecutscene]

... Eat Ruby.

[No he won't actually allow it but like, what if]

Re: After round 3

[innerdaemons]

A tempting proposition -- but I was hoping for something more substantial.

Re: After round 3

[unskippablecutscene]

What do you normally do, then? Buy something with points?

Re: After round 3

[innerdaemons]

Normally, yes.

[

he probably shouldn't mention the cannibalism dates ]

But I will examine my options ... after we leave.

Re: After round 3

[unskippablecutscene]

I see. Well don't get yourself killed.

Re: After round 3

[innerdaemons]

[ a little laugh, despite himself ]


How terribly thoughtful of you.

Re: After round 3

[unskippablecutscene]

Should I offer help, perhaps empty words of concern?

You seem able enough to deal with yourself. If you are not I'll soon learn.

But if you die it will be somewhat inconvenient. And potentially upset the others. So do have care.

Re: After round 3

[innerdaemons]

I did not expect you were the sort to care, so you needn't waste words on me.

[ he feels like he has a pretty good sense of him already, given. ]

Re: After round 3

[unskippablecutscene]

Yes yes, I am devoid of feelings or concern. Do come back in one whole piece.
