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.

There is one exit: East. ]

[waves dismissively with the hammer-hand.]

I'm fine. It's just kind of a pain thinking how to one-up a vampire-werewolf person.

Yeah, I don't doubt it.

[ He considers that for a moment-- then goes after Joker with his knife. 7 might! ]

[... oh you

grinning and doesn't manage to completely dodge (speed of 4), so there's more blood to be added to the pile!

but he is retaliating with a swing of the hammer--4 might!]

[COOL, have fun with that, Thorn is going to shove him from the side, hard, in hopes to throw him off-balance enough that that doesn't connect.]

What the fuck?

[he's caught off-guard (man, need to get better about this)--but he doesn't seem to mind missing his target, just kind of stumbling to the side, already laughing like this is the funniest shit]

[ For his part, Tatsuya looks very serious. ]

Excuse me, Thorn-san. I have a promise to keep to Joker.

A promise? You fucking stabbed him!

Joker's not in his right mind anymore. I think he's trying to spare him.

Some fucking way to spare him. This game is really that fucked, that it's better to let him bleed out before he leaves the fucking graveyard?

We made a promise to each other. If one of us loses it, the other would kill him.

...and he was in on this?

Yes, he was. If he's changed his mind, he can choose not to forgive me later. But a man always keeps his promise.

Considering how Yugi and that pink haired girl on Pep!Pep! were acting yesterday, yeah. I think it is.

[The pause is a beat too long.]

What - were they doing?

Yugi carved into Malik's face with a chainsaw. The girl...kept shooting at Nine even though he was completely unarmed and not a threat to anyone.

He sure did! Almost killed me, too!

[waving his hammer, but not too threateningly]

I can always repay the favor like I did to Mars, Tatsuya!

[lol]

Don't you fucking dare.

I didn't start shit, but I can finish it.

[NO ACTUAL RULE AGAINST KILLING UNITMATES]

[Welp. There goes Tatsuya again.]

[...he's gotten the explanation by now, too, so he's not actually going to. Try and stop that.]

[Joker will remember this

~~and probably awkwardly thank you later~~]

I'm sorry, Joker. I won't let that happen.

[ Unless someone tries to stop him again, Tatsuya's going to try again with 5 Might. ]

[using Knowledge for Might--thanks chalk--gets him a 4, so much less damage this time, but gives a wild look to the others not interfering (gosh, Tatsuya, don't you remember what it's like?), gives a tch, and starts to turn tail and run east from the graveyard.

... speed 2. but y'know. flounce mcflounceton.]

[ Yes, he remembers. He remembers and it's eating him alive inside but he promised.

He's chasing after Joker with Speed 5. ]

[FUCK YOUR SUPERIOR ROLES, REALLY]
