POST-ROUND 2 MINGLE

[ 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. ]

If you go up against them, they're gonna try to kill you. I can't let that happen.
crossmyheartandhope: (Just shine a light into the wreckage)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2022-02-27 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
Hey. I can fight, can't I?

Have a little faith.
unbr8kable: (I'm fine)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-02-27 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
I been lucky this far. That's why I know that luck's about to run out.

--Please.
crossmyheartandhope: (Just like every other morning before)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2022-02-27 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Dude, there's no guarantee I'll even get you first. Then you'll just be stuck fighting through the pileup, if there is one.



...'sides. I don't wanna make you do nothing you're gonna regret, when this is all over.
unbr8kable: (you know nothing jon snow)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-02-27 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
What's there to regret other'n leaving you to fight off fuck-knows who? I won't just roll over and let some stranger rip you apart, you're too important.
crossmyheartandhope: (Are we drowning?)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2022-02-27 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
So - what?

You wanna do it instead?
unbr8kable: (big girls don't)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-02-27 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
Better me than somebody who won't even care.

[Snapped quickly, her voice hard. Her hand snags into the ragged remains of her shirt, ripped and stained with blood]

I've had to watch you die so many times, and I couldn't do anything. But this time, I finally can.
crossmyheartandhope: (And it's over for you)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2022-02-27 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
Are you even listening to yourself?

This ain't you talking.
unbr8kable: (time to d-d-d-d-d-d-)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-02-27 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Her voice goes sub-zero, shoulders sharp and stiff as iron]

And who the hell're you to tell me who I supposedly am?

You don't have no idea what it's like. Don't you even start.
crossmyheartandhope: (If you're lost)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2022-02-27 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
I know you wouldn't hurt me.

Not if you were yourself. Not if you could help it.
unbr8kable: (team olympus)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-02-27 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I've said all along! Why would you think that would ever change?
crossmyheartandhope: (Just shine a light into the wreckage)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2022-02-27 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
I mean.

Cause you ate, like.

Most of my thigh?
unbr8kable: (jumped the shark)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-02-27 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
To keep you safe!
crossmyheartandhope: (Just the image of our maker?)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2022-02-27 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
How does that keep me safe?
unbr8kable: (and that's a fact jack)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-02-27 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
No one can hurt you if you're inside me. No one else can get too close, not without me knowing.

No matter what, I can defend you with my life--like I'm supposed to.
crossmyheartandhope: (Just shine a light into the wreckage)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2022-02-27 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean... no one'll be able to hurt me inside you cause I'll already be dead.
unbr8kable: (hurm)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-02-27 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
That--

[She needs a minute.

Then, uneasy,]

...That's--not the point.
crossmyheartandhope: (Just the image of our maker?)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2022-02-27 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, it might not be the point, but it's what's gonna happen.

[Or not, because Heroes Never Die, but that issomething he doesn't want to consider for too long,]

unbr8kable: chanted by all the wrestling fans (you fucked up! you fucked up!)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-02-27 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not if they face each other in-game! Easy!]

[For now, the troubled expression fades to a stubborn frown, as she crosses her arms tight]

Look--fine. Forget it, do what you want. I don't need your help to protect you. I'll do it whether you like it or not.
crossmyheartandhope: (Just like every other morning before)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2022-02-27 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, c'mon. It ain't - it ain't like that.

[He hesitates, and then reaches out toward her]

I just - I don't want you doing nothing you're gonna regret later. Y'know?
unbr8kable: (withstand)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-02-27 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm never going to regret trying to keep you safe. No matter the cost.

[With that, she pulls away, shoulders straight]
crossmyheartandhope: (Lord we are all cinders)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2022-02-27 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[He takes his hand back, a little shaky]

...right.

Well.

See you this round, I guess.
unbr8kable: (again)

[Already taking herself and her monster aura and heading off, speaking of avoiding future regrets]
