[ Wow! You're dead!

. . . If "dead" means perfectly alright and intact (other injuries notwithstanding). You did witness the very last moments of what would be your death, but it's like you were yoinked away and put into a very safe place . . . which is a courtyard on top of the mansion. Here, you can see everyone down in the courtyard, and there are speakers for you to be able to hear what they're talking about from this distance.

The rooftop courtyard is pretty expansive, similar to the gardens below—one side is a garden maze where you can find places to rest or food to eat (it's probably safe to eat, it all looks fresh), and the other side is a wall of LCD screens, fourteen in total, so you can witness what happens in whatever rooms. There are also couches available for you

Between the garden maze and the LCD screens is a trapdoor that cannot be opened without certain authorization via QR code.

The rules on your phone have updated. If you're a chosen candidate, you'll find your name on the list provided. You'll be able to go through the trapdoor with the QR code your phone provides you. If you are signed up, even if you try to stay away, you will find yourself going to the trapdoor at the appointed time.

Your powers are on, and you'll find whatever weapons you were carrying before to be available to you. However, you cannot escape from the rooftop no matter how hard you try, and you cannot destroy any of the rooftop. It just seems to be indestructible. ]

[ Man this has just been a feelings ride, at this point he doesn't know what he should feel. ]

Will I ever be able to walk into a room full of plants and not have it betray me.

[ ah ]

-- you were killed?

Blown up, in fact!

Wonderful.

It turns out the conservatory was a bad idea.

... I'm sorry things didn't really work out.

They never had any intention of giving us a chance in any case.

I know, it's just frustrating.

Maybe you just need to avoid plants?

Perhaps. Maybe nature has a natural antipathy for a city boy.

Just embrace the life of steel and technology.

Well, 'technology' isn't really a thing, back home.

....books then?

If Sea.Di gets vited, we're revived.

So, its a question of how do we get You-Kai to win as many button games as possible, yeah?

Basically. It seems quite a few of them know how to fight at least, but ...

[ He's thoughtful. ]

....think they can keep our potions?

And there's the prophecy thing.

I think they might be able to, but --

-- As for the prophecy thing, we're better off asking them if they want that kind of help to begin with.

[fucking BOLTING to his side and gripping him tight. her whole body is tense and her eyes are murderous]

Who?

[ Please hold he's trying to not just internal scream endlessly.

She's here. That means from her point of view, she was dead as soon as she stepped in, possibly? Not that You-kai had a fair fighting chance to begin with, but still, that means if they don't win, she dies --

She can't die she can't die she can't die she can't die she can't die -- ]

[ Skylark reaches to grab hold of her arms too, though whether it's to ground her or to ground himself is a mystery, now. ]

sea.Di. Don't try to kill them.

[The name of one of the other guest units... which means they likely had every intention of playing the game as it was meant to be played for the sake of winning. They sacrificed him for their chances at winning.

Her eyes narrow to dangerous slits. But her voice is hushed, though every syllable is filled with uncontrollable rage.]

Like fuck I won’t. They knew what the fucking hell they were doing!! Don’t you dare protect them!

I'm not.

... Well, not really. I think it's going to be really awkward for me to explain to Falcon that my best friend killed his ... [ There's a pause as he's trying to figure out what he should even call that relationship, because clearly they're friends but also ???? ] ... friend.

It's better to let the ones who felt bad stew in their guilt. Attacking them just helps give a little more justification for what they did, and fuck that.

... And besides, if no one figures out it's them with the clues we're giving, this entire city may as well put themselves out to sea 'cause they're clearly too stupid to live.

[She GETS it, as he explains but even so it does nothing to help calm the storm raging inside of her. She couldn’t be there with him, couldn’t do anything to protect him, can’t do anything to the people who hurt him...

What good was she?]

...........................

..................

.........

...fine.

[ It's good the he managed to talk her down, though he also knows she's unhappy too. ]

... I'm sorry I couldn't keep you guys safe.

[Her frown grows tight and she pulls him roughly to her chest, holding him fiercely.]

...stop it. You didn’t do anything. This is our problem.

[ Hey Crane did you want him to wrap his arms around you to hug you. ]

I tried to cover for you guys but it just -- nothing went right.
