THE WAR ON YULETIDE

[ At some point, D.Va will be receiving a text: ]

happy☆day: It has begun, it has begun!

[ And then a pin is dropped on her map, indicating the Escape Room. There are no further texts. ]

[~~3, 3, 5~~; 1, 1, 5]

[Okay, dodging did not fucking work and attempts to correct course just made matters worse and yeah this hurts, a lot.]

Fuck--!!

[Eloquent as ever.

[Fortunately K is a former professional athlete and used to powering through aching limbs and stiff muscles, so he doesn't fall over. He does yank off his latest stupid hat and fling it at the witch, which blame the vertigo and the residual Santae effects misses totally, but it makes him feel a little better and that also counts for something.]

[Yup. Another 1.]

[ The light begins to grow again, but the final strike from Lumen causes The Damned Queen to scream -

- and then her light consumes the entire room, and for a moment there's a feeling of vertigo...

before you're all right back in the lobby of the REAL ESCAPE ROOM, with all injuries and status effects intact. Your phones chime with a group message: ]

happy☆day: This program is in!
happy☆day: The Damned Queen of Yuletide, Who's Name Has Not Been Uttered In These Halls For Aeons has had her subroutines removed from Tokyo-F!
happy☆day: This program cordially extends its thanks to each and every one of you! Unless something stupid happens which always happens to this program so don't hold your breath you'll never have to deal with her or her song again. Neutrality has been restored to this city!
happy☆day: Do not forget to loot your prize from her corpse! That's why you came all the way out here, right?

[ And indeed, heading back into the basement reveals...a garage key? Huh.

Well.

It's a good day to have a good day, isn't it? ]

[He is stupidly dressed and frostbitten and bleeding and has an orb on him and has four points of articulation and also-]

Is that a garage key?

[ she's just going to approach and, like, reaching for the orb. ]

We should probably get that thing off of you.

And yep! I had been bugging her, not, uh, the Damned Queen, about a car, so she said she'd get me one if I helped her.

Careful. It's -

[But the orb goes right over to her. Sure enough, frostbite and happy memories]

[ asdfg. ] Ack! [ tries to shake it off BECAUSE IT'S FUCKEN COLD. ]

[ her head swims with happy memories, but she's also still freaking out about how freezing this stupid ass thing is. ] WHY IS IT SO COLD?!

Fits the bullshit aesthetic, doesn't it?

[ she tries to shake off the stupid orb more frantically. ] It absolutely does!

You think it'll come off onto something inanimate?

[she is also still stupidly dressed and bleeding in places.]

Well. That was a thing.

It sure was.

[Once he's done with K he's healing her up too.]

I didn't actually think we were going to fight she who shall not be named... or can we name her now that she's been defeated? [ tilts her head, considering. ]

[...Well. That all happened.

He's just going to get K healed up and numbed of pain.]

[thanks bro u the mvp]

Considering how, like, easy the beginning of that was I wasn't sure what to expect at the end, but jeez... talk about a final boss. Thanks for coming along Izanagi.

MVP!
