Betrayal - sensitIV

[idolpro]

[ You spill out of the elevator onto a Bloody Room— the elevator is gone when you look back.

How . . . how appropriately named. It looks like it used to be someone's bedroom - a child's, perhaps, from how the walls have bright colors and animal print, although the colors have long since faded and the animal print is peeling. Now it looks creepy with all of the blood - and there is a lot. Did a murder happen here? Did two? Three? No matter the number, it seems like it's not enough to explain the numerous bloody handprints that claw up all four walls, reaching even the ceiling, and after a certain point below it seems like the whole room was flooded with blood, matching mid-waist on average. That's really concerning!

Aside from . . . all the blood, there is a twin sized bed - the mystery, really, is how this bed ended up not being so bloody; although there are stains against the wood that indicate handprints, the sheets themselves are mostly clean and white except for one handprint on the corner. It's also entirely too big for a child, sized for an adult; across it, there is a vanity and several full-length mirrors aligned to allow someone to look at themself in every angle. Sitting on the vanity is a white veil, flowery and sheer; hanging on one of the mirrors is one near-perfectly intact bridal dress, completely in white - except for the bloody handprint square against the chest.

You can't help looking at the veil, the dress - and feel a tightening in your chest and a flood of emotions overwhelms you briefly - jealous, ugly, and lonely. Spiteful-- fine, so unwanted were they? Then this would be the end of it. A death that would marr the happiness the other sought to obtain by abandoning it, and the letter penned at the desk would make certain everyone knew whose feet to lay blame out. A knife in the drawer ready to be buried in the wrists and soon everything would be done— none of those feelings are yours. They exist like reading a letter, a record of someone else's thoughts, someone else's life tucked away inside an envelope. You could open it again, read it until you could imagine it real, but why would you want to? But if you lose your sanity, or are damaged too far, that envelope will open and it will be read again, loud enough to drown you out.

A ring sits on the vanity, with Exael's hologram sitting backwards at the chair there facing towards you and reflecting in none of the mirrors. If you have questions and she's not busy with hosting or another unit, she'll appear here to answer them.

A readout on your phone tells you the rules and displays the sanity goal (explore rooms) and your traitor goal (bring someone to the altar and murder them, or otherwise make out with them and then kill them) as well as the item that you've been given (ring). It looks like nothing is stopping you from committing the traitor goal even while you're sane, if you wish to.

There is one exit: West. ]

[ WHERE MY CRAZIES AT?

which is all of you. where you at. he's back again and feeling real clingy.

also, at this point he's just getting rid of his shirt entirely. there are so many bullet holes it doesn't even resemble a shirt anymore. there's some new blood in his hair though. ]

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[nice. the shirtless part, not the blood part.]

Ah, Loki-san, you're back.

[ ..... he takes a double take when he sees Anubis actually. why do you look so... rested? ]

. . . . . . how long was I gone this time?

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[rollwillpowercheck]

[well-rested and wearing what looks suspiciously like pilfered lingerie.]

From my perspective...? One round.

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[bevoted]

[ w...hh.....y...? ]

Where did you get all that?

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[rollwillpowercheck]

Um, upstairs. I thought the bedrooms might have a change of clothes? They did, but one room just had... lace... and everything in the other room looked like it'd been torn open by someone, so I had to improvise. There was a sink, at least.

[coming to stand a little closer to him.]

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[bevoted]

.... I see. [ he's barely even been upstairs. theoretically he knew there were bedrooms, it's just difficult to imagine they'd have anything useful.

there's a little flutter of anxiety when Anubis comes closer to him. but to his credit his neediness right now is overriding that. ]

Is that all that happened with you?

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[rollwillpowercheck]

[nods. he gently presses the palm of one hand -- he's unarmed, his stuff is in a makeshift cloth bag by his feet -- to Loki's chest.]

I blocked off the door and spent the rest of the round up there. Lucifel ran off right at the start, so I was alone the whole time.

[ cool you get to touch his bare chest and hear his heart racing. in fairness, it probably won't stop racing until he's dead at this point. ]

........ haha. Smart. [ Anubis is always so smart. ] Sounds like a vacation. [ at least he's got it in him to attempt jokes right now. ]

Lucifel ran again though, huh...

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[rollwillpowercheck]

[yeah about that. he rests his head against Loki's chest as well, pressing one cheek to his skin. hearing and feeling his heartbeat is nice, even though he's too tall to be right over his heart.]

Mm. A very strange vacation. But I don't think I'm going to be that lucky this time.

[ oh. ... this is soft. ... okay. okay okay. he pets at Anubis' hair softly... ]

.... heh. Probably not. [ admittedly. he's here now, after all. probably things will go badly. but at least Anubis had a good round without him once. even if it feels awful to think about. Anubis doing better without him. of course he would. of course he-- ]

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[rollwillpowercheck]

[closes his eyes with a quiet sigh.]

If it goes badly, there's always next round.

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[bevoted]

[ there's always next round.

and next round.

... and next round. ]

..... I'll try to be good this time. [ it's so soft. so. sincere. ]

Lucifel-- [ he's half relieved to see him, and half just. fretting with guilt. his last run was such a blur at the end,

he's approaching him, reaching out to touch his hand to the other's face. ]

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[sancrimony]

[ like you know when a cat doesn't want you to touch it and it looks wary af like what are you doing

that, but here ]

Loki-san.

[ letting him touch, though ]

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[ the last time he properly say you you were almost decapitated by a shovel let him fuss.

... he hesitates a little at that look. and the tone, possibly. but he doesn't back off. ]

. . . . . I don't, ... I don't remember exactly what happened after I, [ ...... let's not talk about that actually. ]

You're not going to run off again are you?

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[sancrimony]

[ and, a tilt of his head, a smile ]

Will you chase after me if I do?

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[bevoted]

[ a. blink. ]

Of course I will. [ like it's the most NATURAL THING IN THE WORLD WHY ARE YOU ASKING? ]

But we have to stick together. Don't we...? We're family...

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[sancrimony]

I don't really care to stick together. I've found my own happiness, so you can stop pitying me now.

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[bevoted]

Pitying-?

[ he looks like you just smacked him in the face. ]

What? What are you talking about? ..... what do you mean "your own happiness"?

[ he should be happy for him. but instead... there's a tight, twisting feeling in his chest.

the fucked up part is he can't really tell if that's the ghost or not. ]

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[sancrimony]

You're surely aware - surely. You have Hiryuu-san - and frankly, I'm happy that you do have someone so important to you, but I don't care to be made a fool of. I won't anymore.

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[bevoted]

[ please Lucifel he has a base knowledge stat of like 3 he doesn't understand what you're trying to say. ]

.... Hiryuu isn't....... [ god, he feels sick thinking about Hiryuu right now. his eyes draw downwards, ]

She's important to me. But that doesn't make you any less important.

Re: Session 11 Discussion

[ clipped, sharp in tone ]

Please, don't lie.
