POST-ROUND 2 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. ]

[firstworldproblem]

[He drapes on him. Though he seems a little taller, halfway transformed between his normal form and his eldritch one. His skin is a ghostly gray and his fingers end in sharp claws which he digs into his arms.

Oh, and he's covered in blood and bites and recently revived. And definitely not sane.]

Elidibus

[rainshaveceased]

[ah. well. this is fine probably?]

Emet-Selch.

[firstworldproblem]

[It seems Lahabrea will get his fun later, but Emet is going to attempt to take a little bite as a treat. Being recently revived, he’s not terribly strong.

Emet doesn’t say anything in response as he brings a clawed hand to Eldibus’ chest sinking them in to cause shallow cuts. The blood is nice, but flesh isn’t what he wants. So if Elidibus doesn’t stop him he’s going to take out a chunk of his soul. Just a piece.]

[rainshaveceased]

[that's! a little alarming! and not something he's cool with actually! so he's going to try and pull away before emet can bite off that chunk]

[firstworldproblem]

[He absolutely gets away before and Emet makes the most huffiest sound.]

[rainshaveceased]

Just what was that supposed to be?

[sir! he needs his soul!]

[firstworldproblem]

[He's just going to keep it safe. Worked for Hraesvelgr and Shiva, right? Kinda. Sorta.]

Safekeeping your soul. Who else could do a better job?

[Trying to pass it off as practical even though it is possessive.]

[rainshaveceased]

I can take care of it myself, thank you.

[firstworldproblem]

And if I desire your soul?

[rainshaveceased]

...Then be honest about it.

[firstworldproblem]

Very well.

[He throws his arms out wide.]

I do desire your soul, Elidibus. To consume and keep it with me for all days. So that we will never part.

[rainshaveceased]

And what would come of me if I let you have me? Should I simply remain within you and be content with that?

[firstworldproblem]

Precisely. But do not think you’ll be alone. I will also consume Lahabrea once this game is complete.

[rainshaveceased]

That is not going to happen, Emet-Selch.

[firstworldproblem]

What a tease. Then what was the point of being honest about it?

[rainshaveceased]

I wanted to know the extent of your intentions.

[firstworldproblem]

[He steps up to get into his space.]

Now they are known to you. However, even if you protest, that does not mean I will stop.

[rainshaveceased]

...I will not raise a hand against you.

[firstworldproblem]

[He wraps his arms around him chin resting on his shoulder.]

Even to protect yourself?

[rainshaveceased]

I should not have to protect myself from you.

[firstworldproblem]

[He smiles and kisses his neck. It does have an amount of soul touch in it, be he isn’t trying to carve out a piece.

And then he hears footsteps of someone he recognizes. Someone who has equal if not more claim over Elidibus. So he does disengage and step back with a bow.]

Ah, but if you would simply let me devour your soul neither of us would be alone again. Yes, you would lose a certain amount of freedom, but would it not be worth it?

But a dear friend of ours is approaching and thus I will take my leave.

[rainshaveceased]

I will... take that into consideration.

[and then he gets approached by bread who kills and eats him so that's a whole thing]
