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. ]

I mean. I'm in one piece?

[at_heart]

[ ...mmm. ]

Yeah. That's one way this sort of thing can hurt you.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Ain't hurt at all.

[Lifting a hand, which is, indeed, entirely healed]

[at_heart]

[ Just. Looking at you for a minute there, brave little toaster. Then away. Offhandedly: ]

...That thing that happened to her. That was pretty scary.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... kinda.

[Yes it was,]

[at_heart]

You stuck with her, though. Followed her through literal fire. [ Beat. ] If it were me, I'm pretty sure I'd be touched.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sure managed to mess it up our last run, though.

[at_heart]

—Oh yeah?

[ And that's all he says, with this little headtilt. You don't have to answer. But he's listening. ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah. I dropped the ball pretty bad.

...anyways. Least it's all over now.

[at_heart]

[ Lets silence fall for a moment, before he offers up, ]

Me, too. But I think we can attribute at least some of that to being exhausted. I don't know about you, but I went through four times. [ Or five, but. You know. Session 18. ] ...That's a lot of time to be running purely on adrenaline, even if they did something to our bodies so that we couldn't completely feel it.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Four times is rough, dude. You musta been wrecked.

[at_heart]

Oh, I'm pretty sure I was. [ Smallest pause, before: ] What about you? How often were you in.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Man, I dunno. All kinda ran together at the end.

[at_heart]

Yeah? Mine, too, but they've started to clear up. Pretty sure I was in there for more hours than actually passed, too.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... weird time stuff happens sometimes.

[at_heart]

[ ...'weird stuff', huh. ]

Oh, I definitely noticed some weird. The mannequins were weird, just as an example.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Mannequins?

[at_heart]

No mannequins for you? No... living, walking-around, stealing-your-face mannequins?

[ A beat. ]

Well, that's one way your time in there could've been worse!

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, musta missed those, I guess.

Where were they?
