endgame pt 1

[idolpro]

Who: Competitors no longer hungry for games
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 408, night (the game took the whole day)

[ Wow! That was wild. Wild ass shit.

Now you're all here. Most of you remember everything that happened. Some of you might remember most things, but not Session 18/19 because time and stuff. Don't worry. It'll show up in your dreams. :)

Anyway, you're probably wanting to go home now. That's too bad! The doors are locked, so you can just sit back and vibe.

All screens show: Please wait. Processing results.

Powers are off too—but then, you're also not currently injured or suffering from status effects.

All of you except for members of AlcheME!, who all 1) can somehow open the doors and leave, 2) have powers on, and 3) are not healed or revived whatsofuckingever. Status effects are OOC optionally kept, but no extra abilities (such as Flames) are kept.

Well.

It seems like they're probably definitely rock bottom so. ]

[ —You don't look so hot, either. ...Is it just AlcheME...? ]

Uh. Hey.

[ His outfit might be playing at being a little BE=DE now, it's got some strategic rips in it. ...which will amuse him later, when he notices, because they sure don't match up with the actual things that happened to him, like falling in acid or being burned by lava. But he's otherwise unharmed.

And it's nice to think someone had a good time. He'd say 'in spite of the wounds', but here's the thing about Lupine, ]

[featherbeaned]

Lupine! Hey, hey! How's you?

[ Looks him up and down ]

[at_heart]

—I've been better, but I've been worse, too, most of today. [ Tiniest pause. ] Well, you know. That I can remember so far.

[ More importantly: ]

A date, huh?

[ Warm. Good for you. ] [ ...And he does mean that, absolutely. No weird mixed feelings or anything. Noted. ]

1/2

[featherbeaned]

Ahah, yeah, that sounds about right.

2/2

[featherbeaned]

[ But then she perks right back up again ]

A date! If you haven't met Rye on Wild City you should, he's great! He's very cute and smart and talented and cool.

[at_heart]

[ Aww. Well, this is infinitely better as a topic of conversation and he hasn't met anyone on wild city yet so he doesn't know better. ]

I'd say I can't believe anybody managed to get a date in there, but...

[ He and Emet are going to get drinks later, and he sort of has fighting dates with a few people :|a ]

That's great, though. Where're you two going?

[featherbeaned]

Where there's a will there's a way, my friend.

Don't know where we'll go yet though! Anywhere that's not a swamp would be nice. More than nice.

[at_heart]

[ Chuckle. ]

Yeah, I think you can set your sights a little higher.

[ Watching her for a moment, fond. ]

Have you liked him for a while?

[ Did he miss the fun of shipping you two. ]

[featherbeaned]

Hmm, I guess I have. It's been one of those -

[ vaguely waggles her milkshake ]

Slow descents into doki doki.

[at_heart]

[ Laughing more outright, but warmly. ]

Then I'm happy for you two.

[featherbeaned]

Aww, thanks! I - ooooh ...

[ She just had a thought, and she peers at him more closely ]

You don't sound like you mind.

[at_heart]

[ Sits up a little straighter — he was kind of thinking she just wasn't going to address it. But then he blinks and this smile's slow. ]

Yeah, I guess I don't.

[ Headtilt. ]

You're — a friend. [ Less strange to just say that now than it was before, apparently. Level up in friendship through...??? ] It's just good to see you happy.

[featherbeaned]

[ Smiles back at him, slightly softer than her usual bright grins. ]

I forget, sometimes, that not everyone's as ... [ what's the best word here ]

[ ... ]

Open? About this sort of thing.

[liarliarliar]

[jiiiiiii who are u that keeps approaching my unitmates including the dead one]

[at_heart]

[ snorfle, hello there, Thing 2. He notices the attention pretty quickly and then — offers up a wave. It would be way friendlier and more energetic if not, you know, for the hunger games.

After a beat: ]

Sorry, I don't think we've met. [ Obviously this horror show is no excuse to take total leave of his manners. ] I'm, uh. Going by Lupine here. You?

[liarliarliar]

[its ok we all fucked up. b is a burnt up boy from acid]

B! Nice to meet you Lupine.

[at_heart]

[ —Yeah, he can. see that. Man. ] [ Trying for a hopefully cheerier subject, though. ]

That's the AlcheME theme, right? Letters? LiliS does flowers, though I guess we're not the only one.

[liarliarliar]

Yeah, Alcheme's theme has always been letters. I'm from the original batch.

[at_heart]

[ the original— ]

...so you've been here since...

[liarliarliar]

Day one, baby.

I'm full of answers should you have any questions about the olden times.

[at_heart]

[ Guh, he hates having this sprung on him. Nothing to WRITE with, how's he supposed to keep track ugh. ]

—Believe me, I will. Sometime when we're not — waiting on pins and needles for the other shoe.

[liarliarliar]

Well, for Alcheme we already know our ending.

Anything I can get for you? I'm able to leave if I like.

1/2

[at_heart]

[ Right, shitty of him to complain about not knowing to the one unit that already does. Lupine winces. ]

[at_heart]

[ Annnnd he's more than a little surprised by the offer. His lips quirk up. ]

...Could go for a beer, if you really wouldn't mind.

[ All alcohol around here seems to be the same price, but he might especially like something cheap and crappy. ]

[liarliarliar]

Time for a magic trick then!

disappears into his witch hat]
