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.

[... so.

more fresh blood.

this time on his side and his chest. bullets.

but mostly, he's just.

calm.

Tatsuya might recognize this calm, but it's still not quite... y'know that far. there's still thought. eyes narrowed and body like a coiled spring while a hand clenches tightly into a fist, white-knuckled.]

[ok but like

She wants to hug you immediately]

[starts sharply.

blinks.

oh.]

Silk...

[okay, he can do hugs. hugs are nice. also nice? remembering what Duality said in the foyer... some... odd rounds back.]

Heard you got the bastard.

Yeah, I got him. And some of his stuff.

Good.

[drawing back and. trying to relax. okok. time to do this. got 2 sane unitmates still?]

You okay?

I think I have a couple of broken ribs, but I’m managing.

[sighs and... rubs at his eyes.]

... okay. Chapel first, again?

Yeah, that might be for the best.

Okay.

[ignore how he and Jay are talking murder. like.]

[ Tatsuya recognizes that calm and reaches for his hand. ]

[... yeah, okay. he can do a hand hold.

and relax. lets out a breath and forces his body to loosen up.

he's not that far gone. not yet not yet not over]

[ He rubs his thumb in small circles on whatever part of Joker's hand it can reach. ]

[... putting his other hand over Tatsuya's. squeezing lightly.

he's got it. he's not that far.]

[ He smiles at him briefly, encouraging. He believes in Joker. ]

You okay?

Mentally solid. Physically...

[ He wobbles a hand slightly. ]

I'm not... sure how much longer I'll last. But I'll keep fighting.

... try to avoid fighting. Run if you can.

[pLEASE DON'T ARGUE???]

You look like you've had a rough time.

HSS?

[he looks bored.]

[............hoW DID YOU KNOW.

looking right at him.]

Yeah.

Why are you playing by their rules? They're basically set up to make sure you lose.

Seriously, what did splitting off from me even get you?

[he's so mad]

It wasn't Mars.

Last time.

Oh, you've got an obsession with him, so I figured.

The redheaded girl? I had some issues with her. I'm pretty sure she killed my brother.

She killed my teammate! From home!

[... obvious not Bad End, but also hearing that just... boy if looks could kill. WOW, KILLING PEOPLE'S LITTLE BROTHERS, TOO? FUCKED UP, HIRYUU]

Well, guess we're gonna have to finish this.

Pretty sure she's gonna regret this, but if you're hell bent on it, I'd say we stop playing nice.

[a glance at Silk and Tatsuya]

... And they're probably better off splitting from us.

[... god.

he's probably right.

they probably stand a better chance.]

After the Chapel.

... I've been taking them there.
