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. ]

Comments

[rainshaveceased]

Very well.

You are currently not in your right mind. After this game, when you have recovered, you may regret some of the decisions you make in this state.

[temperedinpride]

Perhaps.

[He cups Elidibus's face up and kisses him hungrily. In several senses of that word.]

But do you really think I will?

[rainshaveceased]

[he's returning the kiss, though with significantly less enthusiasm]

...That would depend on the decisions you make.

[temperedinpride]

I doubt I will regret anything I decide to do.

[As he runs his fingers through Elidibus's hair and pulls him closer.]

[rainshaveceased]

Then there is nothing else I need to say.

[temperedinpride]

Are you afraid of me, Elidibus?

[Just you know, running his talons down his back, petting.]

[rainshaveceased]

I am afraid of what you might do to yourself.

[leans against him]

[temperedinpride]

[He kisses the top of his head, soft and adoring, talons wrapping possessively around his hips.]

To myself? From wanting you?

[rainshaveceased]

It does sound strange when you put it like that.

[temperedinpride]

If I could devour your soul right here...

[He sighs.]

[rainshaveceased]

Will you settle for devouring my body?

[temperedinpride]

It is hardly settling, when I wish for you so much.

[rainshaveceased]

Goodness. Keep that up, and you'll make me blush.

[temperedinpride]

Come now, you should know I care for you this deeply.

But I would not exclude Emet-Selch.

[rainshaveceased]

Whether you include him or not, I would prefer that it be over soon.

[temperedinpride]

[He sighs, cupping Elidibus's face.]

I wish to eat you alive, my love. But if you would prefer I kill you swiftly... How could I not concede to any request?

[rainshaveceased]

My apologies. I know it is somewhat cowardly of me, but I would rather die quickly and painlessly.

[temperedinpride]

Do not apologize. When you wake, this flesh will already be part of me.

[He brushes the backs of his fingers over Elidibus's cheek and kisses him softly.

Before dropping his hand to curl around Elidibus's neck.]

[rainshaveceased]

[closes his eyes and prepares himself

all he's really thinking about is that oh, lahabrea might get mad at him afterwards for just letting him do this

oh well]

[temperedinpride]

[Who knows how he'll feel about this later but right now he's going to lovingly kiss Elidibus's forehead then change his mind about how to kill him.

Something even swifter, even if choking is romantic. He wishes to abide by his loved one's wishes?

He takes Elidibus's head in both hands, and twists sharply, breaking his neck cleanly. As deaths go, it should be nigh instantaneous.]

[rainshaveceased]

[moe, thanks bread]

[temperedinpride]

[He doesn't want to hurt Elidibus?? Just eat him.

Which he's going to do now.]
