This room is not real.

That's the first thought that crosses your mind as soon as your consciousness comes back up. You're not even sure if that's your own thought, but the feeling doesn't leave no matter how much time has passed. The room looks nice and cozy, but everything feels wrong. You don't belong here, you're you, aren't you?

Aren't you?

You'll soon notice that there are other things that just isn't right. You can talk, but is your mouth moving? You can see, but are your eyes blinking? You also have ball joints. Nothing hurts, and you're fine, but it's a little weird.

ffffffffffuck-

[irregular]

... you too?

[Hi I'm on the floor AND THERE IS A GAPING HOLE IN MY CHEST WHAT THE FUCK]

[featherbeaned]

[ floor buddies ]

Me too.

[ ... sticks her fingers in?? the hole in her chest?? what the fuck ]

[irregular]

Jesus, what was that?

[featherbeaned]

Balls. Balls is what it was.

[irregular]

Guess we know what we're goin' after this round. Fuck. Fuck!

[featherbeaned]

Hahh. Yeah ...

[ Pulls her finger out of the CHEST HOLE, flopping her arms on the floor like a starfish ]

I don't wanna, but I don't want to die, either.

[irregular]

Ain't like we got much of a choice, is it.

What'd you wanna do about the, uh... [bit where we're both on the floor.]

[There's no blood, that's the thing.

[Just a lot of splinters, and a hole punched clean through his chest, and the sudden numb realization that, apparently, he's going to have to buy more pants after all.

[It takes K a moment to realize that he has also fallen off his chair, but that seems a pretty minor concern, all things considered.]

--jesus fuck.

[That's a hole all right. In his chest.

[He can stick his fingers in it.]

[N just kind of watches his unitmates explode into bits and fall on the floor and stuff, with a rather eerie lack of concern. If anything, he looks vaguely, briefly irritated when they make loud noises?

Amazing what a difference not being in love with humanity or having ties to one's unit can make in fish's behavior.]

...So. Will we take those back too, like last time?

[Everyone else gets an opinion even if he doesn't care about their opinions entirely because it's a pain to come up with everything himself.]

[featherbeaned]

You ... okay up there, N?

[ wow wow wow wow ]

[ wow this sucks ]

[fromthedepthsof]

Yes?

[AbsoLUTELY okay, despite his teammates breaking.]

[featherbeaned]

You, uh. You don't feel like anything's off? Missing?

[fromthedepthsof]

No. [In a tone that's like "maybe but also it's a pain to try and talk it over".] Which "units" would you like to "target" next?

[featherbeaned]

We need to figure out what happened to you, first.

[fromthedepthsof]

We already know what has happened to you two, and that is as many things as we can "take back" and "protect". So I do not see why we would have to.

[featherbeaned]

We can take three things and protect one. We can't not help you, N.

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

I kinda think we fuckin' have to, or we're both gonna drop dead the second they call time on this.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fromthedepthsof]

From which "units"?

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

I dunno, who'd you think deserves to get their heart ripped out?

Who came up with this crap?

Re: DISCUSSION

[fromthedepthsof]

Does anybody? We will just take it away to "survive", it is not a matter of "punishment".

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

Yeah, maybe. I'd still rather send this shit right back to whoever it came from than throw a dart at the wall.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fromthedepthsof]

Too bad that is not how the "game" works. So, do you have a "preference"?

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

[Talking to Tea's made him curious. So:]

You still wanna skip Taisho and zrael? 'cause if I'm gonna hit anyone with something like this, it's gonna be someone plays hard.
