idolpro | ROUND 4

A maze of twisty stone passages, all alike. The labyrinth walls go up to the ceiling, insurmountable and indestructible. It's a good place to get lost, or lose someone tailing you-- unless, of course, you get cornered.

Mechanics
If you roll successfully while trying to shake off a pursuer, with the damage dice 3 or higher, you disappear into the maze and cannot be followed If you roll 2 or lower on the DMG dice, you have escaped into a dead end-- you cannot disengage and cannot attempt to escape again during the encounter.

[ Calling out into the Labyrinth ]

Persephone? Fox! Sol! Yasuragi— if any of you can hear my calls, answer me in kind!

[ but when the labyrinth stays silent, he will be on his way to the right. ]

[. . . oh he hasn't been here before. making a mental note of this place and then going RIGHT]

[or at least attempting to before an encounter occurs]

[wait a minute, calling out to him (and came from here]

Mars!

[stopping dead in his tracks and spinning around to face him, tense and immediately on guard. his hand flies to the hilt of his rapier]

[already dropped his axe when he called out but hands are up, also has blood on his clothes]

Were you here before? In this game?

[. . . relaxes, but only minutely, hand dropping away from his weapon. he is also bloodied and his clothes are full of stab wounds. he has a bandaged injury around his abdomen]

Yeah. I was. Two rounds before this. What the hell happened to you?

I don't know. Dolls had an axe to grind with me.

Those two rounds, you lived?

[uh]

[TRYING NOT TO LOOK AWKWARD]

First round I got killed by a bunch of dolls, too. . . I lived through the second round.

[not going to comment yet but there is a small eyebrow raise]

Do you know who killed you in the first one? And did you find out who won in the second one?

[stares. . . at him. . . for a very, very long moment]

No, and no.

[bald faced lie on the first one]

I don't think there's "one ultimate winner" for each round, because I know more than one person survived the second.

I know there isn't. Trying to see how this all figures. Did you kill in the second round? And I know it was Wild City in the first. It's fine.

. . . [not answering the second question, but]

What makes you say it was Wild City?

Because I was stabbed with dolls. Kind of like you were stabbed with dolls.

. . .

Wow, how uncanny! What a funny coincidence!

It's fine. This, I mean.

[gestures at himself]

Did you kill in the second round?

[grumbling to himself-- I wasn't even aiming for you-- before he takes a deep breath and tilts his chin up and narrows his gaze at John]

Why does it matter? What are you going to do with my answer?

No idea. Trying to track who has a win, at least.

[said with the helplessness of someone who really doesn't know what they're doing]

[eyeing him critically and warily, like a cat with hackles raised and muscled coiled, ready to flee]

[. . .]

Some people might use my answer as an excuse to attack me. But I can fight.

It was self-defense.

[shaking his head]

I'm not going to tell anyone. [sighs, groans] Okay . . . Okay, that's all I needed.

. . . what do you plan on doing?

[despite having wished for Will to be stabbed ON ACCIDENT), Mars isn't attacking first on this one]

[faint, tired]

See what everyone else recalls.

Why? Just to track who may or may not be winning?

[his features morph from defensive to curious]

Yeah. There are a few more rounds coming.
