Hunger Games: Session 9

[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. ]

[He shakes his head.]

Too many people though. I wonder if I should have killed someone before the lockdown.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[auguryofinnocence]

Well, it still isn't too late. As I said, I can carry you.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[firstworldproblem]

Then we'd both get stuck on a hellish theme park ride.

[He bumps his shoulder.]

He'll be fine. I do have a lot of faith in him.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[auguryofinnocence]

[He shrugs!]

I'm not worried about him.

[He just wants to fight someone real bad,]

But this does make protecting you somewhat easier.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[firstworldproblem]

[Getting on his lap now that he is staying put.]

I don't think any of the idols here pose a problem. If that was your worry.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[auguryofinnocence]

[Well, time to pet his hair then! Traditional lockdown grandpa cuddle time.]

I am not exactly worried about Lily or Levity trying to kill you, no. Still, I have a job to do, you know.

[Kyanite..... who knows. He doesn't know him.]

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[firstworldproblem]

[Cuddling is the best. Sorry about your dead unitmates, bro.]

Oh, if we all able to be in a room together without deaths then we will be fine.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[auguryofinnocence]

[Ehhh it's fine. Feels bad about Klaus though.]

Have you considered I would like the opportunity finally to show off?

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[firstworldproblem]

If you are going to 'show off', I want to see you demon form in a dream.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[auguryofinnocence]

A dream isn't quite the same. Although the spirit of it is far superior. I would be much more impressive.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[firstworldproblem]

You are always impressive, Vergil.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[auguryofinnocence]

Obviously. I said more, not to imply I would not be otherwise, but because it would certainly be more so than usual, in merely a human form devoid of any more than mortal ability.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[firstworldproblem]

Goodness. I've been hanging out with people having low self esteem too often.

[He leans against his shoulder if he isn't already.]

I'll help you take care of your unitmates after.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[auguryofinnocence]

[Sometimes you hate yourself and feel pretty worthless, but also have way too much confidence and know you're the best ever. It's complicated okay.]

You spend most of your time with Cosmo and Five and don't see enough arrogance? Something is wrong with that. That's their best quality.

[Unitmates...they'll figure that out at endgame.]

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[firstworldproblem]

[Vergil is an interesting mix of lack of self worth, but no problem in confidence.]

Five has been feeling a little ... on unsure footing of late, but I'm sure the arrogance will come back shortly. Though I was more thinking of others outside of them.

Perhaps I will make you my new cushion to retire too when it does become too many feelings to deal with.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[auguryofinnocence]

...Has he? Hm.

[Well he'll have to be attentive then!!]

I suppose that was Absinthe's job until recently.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[firstworldproblem]

He's gaining a new friend. One he is highly close to you. You can imagine how much that is nerve-wracking for him.

[He laughs.]

Caught on so quickly. But yes, you do have the soothing demeanor I do dearly miss from Absinthe. Even at his most cruel, he still managed it.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[auguryofinnocence]

Well you have mentioned that similarity between Absinthe and myself before, which is difficult to comprehend on either side, but less so than Caeli.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[firstworldproblem]

For you and Caeli, you both have a love of battle. Ones where the stakes are all or nothing. But I do believe that is where your similarities end.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[auguryofinnocence]

I should think so. Even that is with a different approach.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[firstworldproblem]

You are unique and special and so dearly loved.

But that doesn't mean you are free from my meddling to find you playmates. I imagine you can only enjoy Cosmo's myriad of status effects within dreams for so long.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[auguryofinnocence]

[He laughs.]

That is exactly the way to describe it. Yes, unfortunately dreams may be fun but they do little for restlessness, and that is not exactly my style.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[firstworldproblem]

And I have not the skill to give you the sport you seek in the waking world.

Perhaps you should take advantage of this game if you find yourself in another round.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[auguryofinnocence]

That was my intent, originally.

Re: MOUNTAIN'S EDGE

[firstworldproblem]

[He kisses his cheek. This put out man.]

Were you mayhaps watching over you unitmates?
