Pep!Pep!, BAD END=DEAD END, & future is now

[idolpro]

[ Standing on the deck of a grand galleon rocking in the midst of clear, turquoise waves. In front of your boat is an island--deserted, of course--and next to the steering wheel you'll find two large chests, one filled with bags of gold and the other filled with dark, round, innocuous looking balls, as well as two maps--one clearly depicting the uncharted island in front of you, and the other--a treasure island. And apparently just for shits and giggles, there's a pile of pirate-themed accessories in your unit color(s) you can put on--eye patches, plastic swords and water pistols, fake stuffed parrots, bandanas, a Captain's hat--even a peg-leg or two.

Your phones chime and instructions to choose where to hide both the treasure and traps on your island based on your map appears. ]

[ Players, note that you have until 6pm PST/9PM EST to make sure your unit's card is completely filled out and ready to go! Feel free to thread out burying the treasure, just selecting the spots, or fighting over the accessories, whatever floats your literal boat. ]

[ Medusa just looks out over the waters. ]

... You know, this would be more relaxing if we weren't in a game.

[soulcarve]

[ leaning over the ship's railing beside him ] So?

It's not like anyone can even get hurt. [ she sounds... a little put out, actually? ]

[justpure]

[ He glances over to her, seemingly nonchalant.

Then again it's a bit hard to emote with a mask on. ]

Why is that so bad? And who's to say this game won't result in horrific injury?

[soulcarve]

I just think it's kinda dumb to pretend like it's a big deal when it's barely even something you can call a fight.

[ a pause ]

......So, if you wanna be relaxed, you should just relax! It doesn't mean we won't do a good job.

[justpure]

...

Very well then.

[ He's being reminded of Kharg... ]

[soulcarve]

[ she and kharg are both brain geniuses, it's true ]

So you'll have a good time, then? That's good. Because we're sort of like a temporary Familia right now, I think? So I gotta look out for you.

Oh—! [ oh right, she's forgetting something! she startles, then straightens for a perhaps surprisingly formal bow ]

I'm Hellfire. Who're you?

[justpure]

[ An apt name, but as the only FiN here he does appreciate her assistance. ]

Medusa, of future is now. Pleasure to meet you.

[soulcarve]

Okay, Medusa-san, then!
If anyone does try to hurt you in the game, I promise I'll definitely kill them, so you don't have to worry.

[worldlyafflictions]

This host's last game was pretty harmless... Just taking care of a bunch of animals.

[justpure]

Really? I must have missed that one.

[worldlyafflictions]

It was a while ago.

Anyway since it's in the rules not ta hurt each other we're probably okay for once. It's when they're super shifty about how much they tell ya that you can expect ta die messily.

[justpure]

[ ... Sigh of relief. ] That's nice. I know we've had a round of particularly messy games lately.

[worldlyafflictions]

I've already forgotten it! Let's not spoil the mood!

[justpure]

Noted. [ Nods. ]

[soulcarve]

.....What do you mean? I was away on another show...

[justpure]

... I'll explain later.

[soulcarve]

[ quieter than before ] Why not now...?
