[ Your designated room appears to be a modern but simple hospital room, with an adjustable electronic chair and curtain dividing one side of the room from the other. On the curtained side, there is a tray of basic surgery equipment, though nothing electric. That would be too easy, wouldn't it? At least(?) the chair has straps, to bind unruly subjects.

On the other side of the room are several chairs, what appears to be an iPad with a health chart listing a number of patients. You may select from a number of options to send "remedies" to those patients. There is also a pharmacy counter, though rather than a window, there is only a thin slit the width of a single piece of paper.

And of course, your patient(s)—or hostage(s), if you prefer—is in the middle of the room, though . . . strangely placed. A glass bubble, 6ft by 6ft, hangs from the ceiling, somewhat like an upside-down snowglobe. Eight tubes connect the orb to the ceiling, and one tube connects it to the floor. From above, your patient(s) can see most things in the room, including the surgery table even when the curtains are drawn.

It's currently empty—aside from your patient—for now. ]

Is hello any better?

...If you drown, I'll kill you.

You'll have to wait for me to revive, then catch me first.

You can't run forever... unless you cheat. [ like lock yourself in your damn room or something. ]

I wouldn't dream of cheating... but I'm not going to let you kill me, aibou, because then you'll feel even more terrible. Let's just focus on the game for now, and see what we can do to avoid having to worry about death at all.

Since Saffron and I can't really do much from up here, you two are going to have to help us help you.

I got it, leave it to me!

I don't doubt it, aibou, you know I trust you.

Can we get burgers after?

Sure, assuming we can still get to the diner without much issue. [ a... halfhearted laugh. ]

Yeah, it's a situation where I do admit we might be screwed no matter what depending on what the other units do to us because there's only me and Honey, but... we'll do our best.

...mm, well, you know that no matter what happens I'm not going to hold anything against you, right? I know you're going to do your best, and since it IS only the two of you I don't exactly want you trying to... overdo it. [ though there's nothing he can really do besides yell if he tries to take on a level 3 procedure. well, no, that's not true. he can kick his ass later. ]

Oh. Well... it looks like if we hurt ourselves too much we don't help you all that much in the end. I definitely don't want you guys to survive the game just to die because we came in last, so we'll be careful!

Good. It looks like it's going to be a delicate balancing act... though, it's also going to depend on how hard the other units hit us, and with what. [ sighs. ] I guess we can really only wait and see... what a game, huh?

I'm glad BARiTONES isn't playing... and I can only hope Zhongli Xiansheng isn't among the HSS playing.

Not sure if my sister is playing, but she'd be with HSS if they are. I just hope HSS hasn't gone soft again...

[ shrugs. ] No idea... I don't really know the dynamic of the team anymore.

[ aether looks a little disheartened for a moment before nodding. ] No sense worrying now.

Zhongli Xiansheng will take care of things. He's not going to let them throw their lives away.

Yeah, if he's playing.

...mm. [ tbh, childe doesn't care about hss beyond zhongli, so... ] If they want to throw themselves on the sword without him there, then they can do as they please. I just don't want them dragging him down with them.

They're gonna drag my sister down, too, if so.

[ not happy with that comment childe, so he's walking away. ]

Anyway, let me get to checking things out. hang tight.

I'm not talking about Zrael, Aether. I'm talking strictly about HSS. You know your sister isn't one to roll over, so she wouldn't let them tell her what to do. [ really! aether!! ]

[ ignoring you for being insensitive when he has to worry about fucking scaramouche because of you!! talk to him next round if you want to try and clarify yourself.]

[ baritones isn't even playing!!! and if you're mad at him he's just going to keep his mouth shut. ]

[ and zrael and hss are legit playing as the same team right now, what's his point!! ]

Edited 2022-10-06 01:44 (UTC)

[ nothing. he's not digging his grave any deeper. he trusts zhongli and lumine to keep their teams afloat, but he simply can't speak to the rest of them given their track records... ]
