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. ]

I can understand that.

Even so... that doesn't mean you don't deserve to fight back for yourself.

If you really understood, you'd know it has nothing to do with deserving.

So you really felt like the best thing you could do was just-- accept that?

Every time I've used that power, it ended badly for me anyway - sometimes, even dead. Not only that, but the actual damage it can do is limited.

Thinking of all those things, while having to look at you to even gauge the wounds available for use...

Me being able to pull the trigger was impossible from the start.

...have you looked at me?

You could have pushed me or punched me or... anything.

I wouldn't have chosen you in the first place if my head wasn't... [She shakes her head.] But you can see why I'd worry about you a little, right?

With your abilities, I'm not even sure I could have made it like that.

[No comment on the worry part, what's there to worry about.]

[So many things to worry about!!!]

I don't like admitting it, but even if you couldn't beat me. If you'd just run, there's no way I could catch you.

[Short legs...]

And besides, that's no way to be thinking. Not before you've tried! What kind of message is that to send to people!

You'd be surprised how many times things from the environment decided I didn't need to use my legs.

[A beat.]

Or my joints.

Maybe the message is just, "I'm tired of this bullshit."

[Instant recognition--]

Doll parts are probably in the like... top five things I hate in my life.

[So many times...]

...Water might be top ten.

But I can understand that. If I wasn't... if I hadn't lost sight of myself because of that cursed item, I probably would have played similarly. Trust me, I don't want to die anymore than we manage to do anyway, but... yeah.
