POST-ROUND 1 MINGLE

[idolpro]

[ Once the decisions have been made, everyone is ushered—though those gentle tugs—out their respective mud rooms into the courtyard. An impossibly tall and incredibly dense garden hedge divides one half of the courtyard away—moreover, it increasingly gets taller when climbed, preventing its residents from escaping their slice of the courtyard. From beyond, idols can hear the distant sounds of something rumbling—perhaps it's the ground shaking. . .

The roster is visible on a large screen, though as time progresses, certain names are blacked out. . . ]

[ Mouths and Hands will be able to transform into monsters at-will, though Hands are much more diminutive and Mouths have supernatural abilities at their disposal. Moreover, unit abilities are on. ]

[soulcarve]

Hahaha!
Everyone came after us, like always! But it's alright, it's really alright.

[ Hellfire seems... entirely fine, actually? Even the laugh is warm, happy. What a nice day it's been! Hasn't it? ]

[irregular]

[Not really.]

You know Hardy at all?

[soulcarve]

[ Wow she ate a Heart for all of them and everything? Was that not great? ]

Not at all! Do you wanna eat someone named Hardy, then?

[gravitydefier]

[don't mind Sakura just like dropping Venti's body in front of her. like a cat. or a hunting falcon.]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Heyyyy, nice!

[gravitydefier]

[startles a tiny bit, not used to praise] ...what?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Got yourself a kill. Nice work.

[gravitydefier]

...tch. Don't praise me for that.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Why the fuck not?

[drifting closer to inspect Venti]

[gravitydefier]

...he didn't even put up a fight. [and he wouldn't want to be praised for murder anyway when he is in his right mind.]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[shrugs]

So? Kill's a kill.

[gravitydefier]

Tch. I don't need praise.

[soulcarve]

Oh, wow!!
See, I knew you were good at hunting!

[ leaning forward to sniff the corpse eagerly, like it's the most normal thing in the world ]

Smells pretty good. Not as good as Aradia, but we can definitely eat this.
Actually, isn't this that sensitIV you like a lot?

[gravitydefier]

...this was the only protection I could offer him. [killing him.]

[soulcarve]

Mm. [ a nod, cheerful ]
Of course it's like that!

Now he won't ever have to be alone again. I'll help you keep him safe—Valor and K, too.

[ she pauses, then leans in for another sniff of Venti's corpse ]

...And you know, maybe I'm biased for Aradia-chan... but he smells really almost as good.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[is there any blood on Venti? because Valor's just, going to swipe up a little and lick it off his fingers. (and if there isn't any already on Venti he'll just cut him open a little to get some, nbd.)]

...Oh, that is...really fucking good.

[irregular]

[K's drifting closer, attention caught and held by the sight of his unit, by the smell in the air. If it's them, if it's Bad End, surely there's nothing the matter with getting closer?]

Can you guys smell that?

[And then he catches sight of Venti, and freezes.]

[gravitydefier]

[awkwardly.] ...should we...move somewhere quieter?

[this is a giant courtyard. surely there is somewhere away from everyone else.]
