Murder Mysterium - Game End, Part 1

[idolpro]

Who: You!
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 365, Morning

[ Surely, this time, it must be over. This time, this time, it must be over.

The remaining structures still standing collapse, crumbling into the rest of the demolished mansion. You notice, too—the flowers begin to stretch at every entrance to the garden mazes, vines and leaves and branches and thorns sealing them away from you, completely removing access. Some people may be stumbling out of the gardens now, but it's evident that if they aren't here with you now, they must have been kicked out of the game.

The space in front of the mansion—just in front of the doors—splits open, the space suddenly seeming two-dimensional as the space folds for a door. The door, actually—the door to the elevator that leads you home.

It's not open for business yet. Before you run off, away from this place forever—

You'll want to gather around the fountain.

Its water's stopped, though rather than any stillness in water you can instead see the water drain away, revealing a set of stairs as well as . . . every unit in the Graveyard. Ah, there they are.

Not all of them are intact—while LiliS, sensitIV, future is now, and AlcheME! are completely uninjured (barring any injuries they accrued on their personal time and/or while in the PvP pit), avante en garde and YOU-kai are injured, and sea.Di . . .

. . . well, those sure are some chunks, huh. . . ]

[ His confirmation that he's alive and breathing is realized as soon as he touches him. He startles, blinking rapidly, still in some measure of shock as his eyes blindly cast about.

He moves, sore, gritting his teeth against some of the pain, lifting a hand to his head as though to try and steady himself. ]

Nng-

[ His ears are ringing powerfully, but- ]

Who...?

[ It's a little rough and he coughs, as though having inhaled too much smoke. ]

[lionhurt]

Shut up, Kasa-kun. Don't talk right now.

[ But he answers the question of who he is by laying his hands on the nearest wound on his arm, holding it still so he stops moving, and begins knitting it shut with scar tissue. ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ He doesn't quite make that out, but he realizes what is happening when the uncomfortable sensation of his flesh stitching itself closed once more strikes.

He breathes out, relaxing a little. It could be anyone on sensitIV, but the most likely is: ]

Izumi-san.

[ His eyes close and he remains still while he works on him. ]

Did sensitIV...?

[ Did they survive... ]

[lionhurt]

We're totally fine. And I've told you before that there's totally no point worrying about me when you suck this bad at taking care of yourself? Just like, oh my god, get a grip and stop being so annoying.

[ he's focused on tsukasa's wounds, moving on from the first one to the next as he talks, words giving him something to focus on that isn't just sick horror at tsukasa's abused flesh ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ He only catches bits and pieces of the complaints, but tiredly allows him to tend to the injuries, closing his eyes and trying to swallow his disappointment. To forget what it felt like having his body torn apart.]

Thank you.

[lionhurt]

[ he shakes his head, unaware tsukasa can't see him and can barely hear him ]

Thank me by getting hurt less.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ He didn't hear any of that. Though he does lift a hand, blindly reaching out to try and grab hold of Izumi. ]

[lionhurt]

[ he's distracted from his healing by Tsukasa's blindly waving hand, which he catches just to stop tsukasa from moving about while he's still freshly recovered from his injuries ]

Uh, hey?!

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ Grabs hold of him tightly, then. His gaze is off-center, staring past him to the side as he speaks. ]

I need your help. I can't check-

Did any of the guest units win? Are they scored the same as us?

[ He has no idea if those results have come out yet or not. ]

Kei-kun never showed up, even at the end, right? What happened to YOU-kai?

[ Clearly worried. One hand blindly lifts up to touch one of his own ears.]

Speak loudly, please.

[lionhurt]

[ THE LOUDEST MOST AGGRAVATED SIGH. STOP WORRYING ABOUT OTHERS HE'S TOLD YOU THIS LIKE EIGHTY TIMES NOW

with a cursory glance around, even though he already knows the answer but double checking. ]

Kei-kun's not here.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ At least there is that much. And it seems he heard that, thankfully. He relaxes a little, though doesn't release Izumi yet. ]

Then when you are done with the others, can you help me home...?

[ Using his grip on Izumi, he then tries to pull himself up, but a wave of dizziness falls over him and he stumbles back down.]

My unitmate must have experienced both explosions, too. I am unsure that either of us can make it out of the tower without guidance. But...I would prefer not to blindly trust in just anyone to get home. And my pride is... already suffering.

[ But Izumi has already seen him in a vulnerable state. ]

[lionhurt]

[ other people are just going to have to be someone else's problem.

Aware Tsukasa can't hear him well unless he shouts and not in the mood to be repeatedly screaming the same words at him, he judges a conversation to be not worth it immediately. He hoists Tsukasa to standing, best he can. He's not strong, but he at least has height on his side over Tsukasa, and he should be able to support him as he guides him out of the game tower. ]
