idolpro | BAD END = DEAD END

[ You spill out of the elevator into a graveyard— the elevator is gone when you look back.

It is, predictably, spooky as fuck: cobwebs culminate to huge masses of spindly white on the iron bars that line the plot of land, as well as on the various headstones. They're unreadable by this point, text worn away by time and wind, but while many of these graves have only been exposed to forces of nature, some of them have been tampered by what could only be human hands. Several grave plots have been completely upturned, caskets open and skeletons exposed, bodies completely broken and arranged messily as if someone had manhandled them in order to look for something. The caskets give a clear idea of what that might be: there are parts missing to them, the lining and the decorative emblems and even the hinges, on some caskets. Grave robbing seems to be popular, here.

There are also just a few graves with an open coffin and no body. How . . . mysterious. . .

But this isn’t where you’ll end, is it? No, someone else belongs there. This time, it’s your chance to shine, and it’s your chance to run this show.

Your head suddenly hurts. A loud ringing pierces through your eardrums as you try to remember why you haven’t given up yet. You’ve brought this suffering upon yourself, but you keep going. You should have stopped while you were ahead, but you didn’t because the thrill was just that good. You were having fun.

Why didn’t they stop? It wasn’t supposed to end like this. You want to win this time. If you lose your sanity, or are damaged too far, the sensation will overwhelm you.

A medallion sits on an intact monument.

A readout on your phone tells you the rules and displays the sanity goal (explore rooms) and your traitor goal (to goad someone into starting the fight first, and then killing them, or killing after you've been attacked first) as well as the item that you've been given (medallion). It looks like nothing is stopping you from committing the traitor goal even while you're sane, if you wish to.

[Looking around.]

Well, fuck. I see you've all been having fun without me.

Such a time. You're super late.

[bloodied head, bloodied chest. it's fine.]

And you look like a zombie.

How bad off are you?

Edited 2019-09-20 01:07 (UTC)

I'm fine. Peachy, even. Got a goal in mind and everything.

Dare I ask what? I might even help.

Well, you see. A couple of rounds ago, that bastard Mars took a hammer to my head and tried to kill me!

He didn't succeed, but I definitely think it's worth it to repay the favor, don't you?

You want to fight your double...?

[Shrugs.]

There are worse goals. Just don't get all teary eyed if you actually succeed.

As if I would. I'm pissed enough to pull his guts out.

[said with a smile but tone so flat because he's. actually really pissed, actually.]

[Getting in his space to inspect that head wound. He doesn't touch it, just making sure he has a complete skull.]

Vengeance is an ugly look on you, Boss.

[Using his old name on purpose.]

[a little disgruntled to get his head inspected, but it seems whole. but definitely had a nasty wound that was probably nigh-lethal but survivable. it's also older than the stab to the chest was.]

Maybe shitheads shouldn't try to bludgeon me to death, then.

Well, let's see if we can find you a shithead to play with.

So who did the stabbing?

[here, he's looking a bit more fond.]

That was Prim. Don't worry, I returned the favor.

[... yeah.]

And then Jay finished us off, I guess. Memory's a bit fuzzy there.

He finished you off?

What did he do? Drop the ceiling on you?

I wouldn't call it fun, exactly.

No. You weren't here last time, were you?

Least I know how bullshit this all is.

Alright, let's just not run into CEO with any fucking spears.

No, I arrived right after it ended, remember? You were the first person on the team willing to tell me about it.

[Laughs a little.]

Fuck, we were a mess. I see you have a knife. Alright, then. Let's make some friends, shall we?

You were.

...Yeah, ready when you are.

[Although. Somewhat concerned about Joker, but]

[Nodding when he notices her worry about Joker.]

He's being a fuckin' psycho, but I think Mars would enjoy fighting him to the death. Let's just make sure he doesn't kill anyone else.
