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. ]

Oh, lovely. I suppose that's something to look forward to.

[at_heart]

[ A beat, then a smile. He will see your sarcasm and raise it. ]

Oh, yeah. I'm waiting with bated breath myself.

[identitypolitics]

I... brought someone back from the dead, today? It's a hell of a thing to get used to.

1/2

[at_heart]

[ ...Mm. He's been kind of busy envying sIV and pep's unit abilities. Worrying that you'd all be down for the count and what that would mean for the rest of them, but also envying.

Hadn't, really, thought about what it would be like to touch a corpse and bring it back. ]

[at_heart]

I can cover my whole body in bark. [ Offering up! ] It's pretty freaky-looking, and it definitely ruined some handshakes while we were in there.

[identitypolitics]

...stars, I'm sure. It's all—well. Even if it seems like everyone who's been here a while just accepts it, it doesn't feel like a thing I should be able to do.

[at_heart]

Yeah. Well, I mean, probably because it's not, right?

Some people here might come from worlds where it's possible, but most of us probably don't. To have it not only be possible but something you can personally do...

[ Trails off. ]

Well — it'd creep anybody out, even if they were grateful to be able to help friends.

[ And also you're too new here to have friends yet, probably. So, 'to help near-strangers'. ]

[identitypolitics]

...I guess. Yeah.

[ she pinches the bridge of her nose. ]

It was, uh—I forget if I got your name.

[at_heart]

[ ...Welp. ]

Lupine, heh. I'm — on LiliS, if it wasn't... obvious. [ His outfit is a little distressed, but not all that much. ] Yours?

[identitypolitics]

Saffron, on pep!pep!—or at least, that's what I'm going by for now.

[at_heart]

[ ...Often introduces himself the same way, so his smile goes slightly crookeder. ]

Yeah. [ Beat. ] Our theme's flowers, my profile has a little wolf-face-thing where the name's supposed to be, so... [ An easy shrug. ] It's as good as anything, until I get my real name back.

[ And then he'll probably let people call him whichever. ...He wants his name for himself, but right now at least he doesn't hate being called 'Lupine'. It'd be different if the producers had actually assigned it to him; then he'd probably reject it out of spite, heh. ]

[identitypolitics]

Well, it seems like the thing to do to match the rest of the unit, anyway and have a callsign. Apparently pep does colors and celestial bodies.

[at_heart]

Pretty much. [ —He... thought saffron was a spice... It is Lupine, it's just also a color. And a plant! ] [ Little headtilt, curious. ] Callsign?

[identitypolitics]

[ why DID she say callsign. ]

...or, well, have a nickname on theme. If we're going to be a team I might as well, right?
