CAPTIVE GAME: ☆ZRAEL & Senpai
[ You're in a room with no doors or windows, about the size of a living room. Depending on how many of you are around, it might feel a little cramped. The walls and ceiling are draped with fabrics, the floor covered in colorful rugs and piles of sitting cushions, but you can see the dirt ground and untreated wood walls peeking through in places. There are three or so oil lamps to light the space, each placed on a stump-like round little table that isn't big enough to hold much else. It's kind of cozy, but...
Most of the cushions are embroidered with an array of colors, but there's one pillow in particular, set aside from the rest, that's one solid color – Raven's position color. ]

Re: CAPTIVE
...He's run normal games before. Like the kissing one.
I don't know what's going on.
Re: CAPTIVE
Yeah, I remember that. And he wasn't calling himself Layli or Layla or whatever before, either.
Re: CAPTIVE
[a beat, and then, matter-of-factly:]
We're going to get our captive back.
Re: CAPTIVE
That's the name of the game, isn't it? Best of luck to you all.
Re: CAPTIVE
[Well. After Doodle removes his emotional restraint, she'll give Nightmare Vision a try.
They've been torturing him for a while already, blood pooling on the floor, cloth wrapped around his eyes. The pain is easy for him to handle, but by now it's a constant fog over his thoughts, the experience a blur. How long has it been...? It seems like days.
Someone pulls the cloth free, and he can look down at his body. His body which looks... different than he remembers it—more washed out and monochrome, and he can't tell if it's just his vision or if his legs are starting to go translucent below the knees. Maybe it's not the pain that's making his brain fog. Maybe he's starting to fade away.
Glory looks him over. "You're really trying to hold out, aren't you? But there's only so much longer you can last, no matter how strong you think you are. You'll lose everything about yourself if you keep going."
It's true. There's nothing he can do to stop it. If they keep him tied up here much longer, he won't be able to even remember why he's here.
She leans in to look him in the eyes. "Or, a few tears is all it takes to end it."]
Re: CAPTIVE
THAT WAS NOT IN FACT WHAT HE MEANT, BUT YEAH, HE IS. But also--isn't. The vision is--dizzying. The fact that he's actually been through it once before lends a lot of credibility to the physical sensation. But unfortunately for Glory, it simply doesn't make emotional sense for who he is and what he's like and what he's been through--and he laughs, although it sounds and feels far off, which probably isn't going to make Glory's mood much better, but ]
'S a pretty good trick. But--who's holding on, exactly?
[ That's if it's a trick. He's not quite sure--since it feels so real. It would be such a relief to not have to worry or think anymore... Sure, Pink'd be pissed, and Cobalt would be sad, but--no one knows what trash he is better than himself. It's not like it'd even be the third time he broke a promise to stick around, because that's the kind of trash he is. They could do better than him, and he.... would it be like resting? To forget? ]
It ends either way, right? What a relief.
Re: CAPTIVE
A relief, is it? Do you have a death with? Or, no. Worse than that. A wish to write yourself out of existence...?
[That's unfortunate, both on its own and because it's something she deeply doesn't understand]
That's not hard to do here, you know, if you want to. Are you just too scared?
Re: CAPTIVE
The last time couple times I wandered off with no intention of coming back I got abducted to other shows with a side of brain-fog whammy so I'd be a good little boy till they brought me back here.
Re: CAPTIVE
Fine. There's no point taking that kind of tactic with you, then.
[She considers for a few moments.
Then she steps close to him and just... holds his eyes open with her fingers]
Re: CAPTIVE
is she going to gouge his eyes out? ]
Re: CAPTIVE
She's just preventing him from blinking until his eyes water. She keeps eye contact while she does it.]
