Betrayal 3: pep!pep!

[ You spill out of the elevator into the ATM & Gashapon Hall—the elevator is gone when you look back.

A quiet, largely-empty and slightly musty hallway but for a handful of ATMs lined up next to a row of Imeeji Idol Productions gashapon machines that dispense stickers, photocards, and low-budget figurines of random idols. There's a promise of some special seasonal SSR figures that are… hm. Bloodstained, murderous, with missing limbs and eyes. That sure is a theme. Only 50 points a play!

It's quiet here, and you're familiar with quiet. You remember the long trek across the desert, with little companionship and fewer supplies. You remember when your sole traveling companion from those difficult, difficult years got a snake bite that turned septic, and how the rot spread, and spread, until there was only one last good thing you could do for them… and then you were alone.

It's in the script someone's written for you, in your hand. Now, you have your own history, your own words and you can give those to the audience instead. But enough pain, enough destabilization, and you don't know if you'll want to keep sharing. They've set the stage for someone else, given you a prop, and you feel that. Reality isn't wanted here—no, you need to be larger than life, in this place, to not be devoured by the narrative, reduced to an extra. The script whispers for you to lock that troublesome self away, and try on this new role for size, and you'll be a star.

...but there's no point in casting a top-tier idol like you if you can't put your own spin on it, of course. At the bottom of the script, there's a note someone's written with a smiley-face: "just ad-lib, you're gonna be great :)"

Set on top of one of the ATMs is a stack of credit cards.

A readout on your phone tells you the rules and displays the basic goal (explore the rooms of the casino) as well as the item that you've been given (Credit Card). Only once you leave your starting room does your phone update to display your role's traitor goal (to kill someone who is injured or who you deem to be suffering). It looks like nothing is stopping you from committing the traitor goal even while you're sane, if you wish to.

There is an exit to the East. ]

Hello, Moxie-chan.

[Wednesday is here! She looks like she's been crying, and the collar of her dress is ripped - a light dusting of blood spray about the edges.]

[Just waving with her one hand, still holding her axe. She wants to bolt already and go find Taisho but with so many of them here she doesn't know that it's possible.]

[She should have hid it, huh.]

Well, I've still got a first-aid kit? I can bandage it up for you, at least...

If you want to, I won't say no, but I'd like to move on from here. I want to go find Taisho.

I'll be quick.

[She got a 4, so +1 physical trait if not at baseline.

[If not, you get a nice bandage! ALL BETTER OR SOMETHING.

[Good thing we don't want to 'save' one another huh.]

You're amazing.

[She smiles fondly, though a little sadly. It feels familiar and warm being all together during times like these, but she still feels restless.]

I have a general idea of the layout, not their exact location.

[Which is why she's itching to bolt from here, honestly.]

I'll be fine if I can find my parents.

[Or if she sees Ao again she's going to murder them. As one does.]
