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. ]

Ahaha, maybe, right? But it looks like one last Heart was missed. Feels like it'd be a shame ta go through another buncha cage matches without checkin' if just one more meal would do first!
[Sometimes berserk means arguing that death is the most logical answer]

Back off. [ a growl as he leers at pink. ]

He feels really bad, too, the other is trying to help him, but it's probably making his own situation worse since hunger things. He's not sure if Pink is suffering the same way, too, which makes him feel bad even moreso.
If he had ears they would be drooping as he says more quietly. ] ...Sorry about it.
no subject
Ahahaha... so it's about fairness, huh!
[Wouldn't it be fair to take something of Childe's in that case? But Pink doesn't believe in fairness really. He stops his circling, black licks of flame wreathing around him in dark swirls, but not coming any closer or even raising a hand.]
Too bad, I coulda done it clean, but everybody loves ta make a mess...
no subject
...there are plenty of other people to 'do clean'. Hands feed the mouths and the heart too. [ even if aether wasn't the heart childe would still be looming behind him like a helicopter parent. ]

(you guys can free for all without me, I gotta start making food o7). ]

I'd be pretty surprised if there's anything else left worth eating! But I guess we're givin' the hosts the chance ta make that happen.
no subject
I would be really surprised if we went into the final round with only a single team in possession of their heart. It'd be a blood path pile up on a single person... but I can't claim to know why the Producers make any of the decisions they do.
[ ... ]
...we didn't target you for any specific reason, by the way. [ since he imagines the fairness in wanting to kill aether is because he killed lava. ]
no subject
You could finish this if ya won't have it the easy way...
[He's right there, Childe. You could do it.]
no subject
I could... [ his gaze dips to aether. ] But my aibou is almost as special as Zhongli Xiansheng. Eating them is not something I'd like to do in front of a crowd. I think that ruins how special it could be... should be...
no subject
not so sure about being happy to be looked at as an intimate dining option. ]

[HE JUST HAS TO TRY THIS ONE MORE TIME]

[ pink. pink!
P I N K !!! ]
[ is he drooling...
he might be drooling. ]
[ he snaps his mouth shut and tightens his jaw. ] I'm going to be among those fighting to get to him and no one is going to stop me. I'll even get a few extra meals along the way... though I'll be sure not to spoil my appetite for the entree.
