Hunger Games: Session 4

[idolpro]

[ You find yourself in your respective unit's zone, with a mini-map on your phone, as well as your objectives:


Kill as many competitors as you can.
Destroy zones by breaking their statues.
Not enough action = We start killing you :)

Underneath the objectives is the number of revivals you have left, as well as whatever miscellaneous details about scoring points—killing a unitmate results in negative points, five units will be healed at most, etc.

The starting horn sounds. Let the games begin. ]

[It's the only thing she has left to do, isn't it?

[Alisaie walks back slowly, the rapier loose in her hand; when she gets there, she drops: slumping to the floor in a clatter of armored limbs. The rapier slips from her fingers, and she doesn't move to pick it up again.

[She takes a breath. Says, finally:]

I'm sorry you had to see that.

[leaveofabsence]

You need not apologize for anything.

[ And he pulls Alisaie to press against his side, one arm wrapped around her shoulder. If only for a moment if nothing else. ]

It would have been dangerous to leave him alive while locked in this room, even if we outnumbered him.

[scattershot]

Well, that's certainly true. Thank you, Zhongli.

[She leans heavily against him, closing her eyes. If only. If only this would simply end--

[Cautiously, she takes Alphinaud's hand.]

This may be an entirely foolish question, brother, but how are you faring?

[leaveofabsence]

[ Zhongli gives her shoulder a squeeze but otherwise gives her the space she needs to talk to her brother. ]
