WILD CITY

[idolpro]

[ You spill out of the elevator into a tower room with stale air— the elevator is gone when you look back.

You are in the tower. A spiral stair encases the shaft of it, leading to a singular room at the top. Search lights atop the roof beam up into the dark above the Tokyo skyline, demanding attention. Anyone not attending the game must see that something is happening at the Game Tower. Ascend to the top, picking your way through the splintered wood of where something destroyed the still-locked door, and you enter the tower. Even with the wind at this altitude, the air is stale, and the room is littered with wrappers of cheap snacks that wouldn't last anyone long, more a taunt than a lifeline.

The sight of the splintered door sets your eyes looking around the room, expecting someone and then setting your heart racing when you don't find them. Did they get out? You don't know if that's hope or dread welling up in your chest, because there's an icy core at the center of what might have been elation: someone, certainly, didn't make it out of this room. You feel this knowledge vaguely; like something you crammed for on a test and aren't positive of it, it's tentative— you need to reach for it. You probably don't want to. If you lose your sanity, or are damaged too far, though, it will overwhelm you.


A readout on your phone tells you the rules and displays the sanity goal (explore rooms) and your traitor goal (kill with an accomplice) as well as the item that you've been given (skull). 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: South. ]

Item

[idolpro]

[ In the backpack sits a skull, cracked and missing teeth.

Your cellphone tells you its effect: If you take mental damage, you can take all of it as physical damage instead. ]

Traitor Goal:

[ Your traitor goal is kill with an accomplice, or two, or more. Hunt down your victim with a friend or a pack, and kill them while you have them outnumbered.

You have no desire to and receive no points for committing this act on a unitmate. ]

[ Being alone again means having the freedom to have a little bit of a meltdown. Between being stuck inside a building with no real escape and having to deal with his teammates constantly trying to murder, especially when he is pretty sure they would prefer not to, is actually pretty overwhelming!

So he spends a few minutes focusing on trying not to hyperventilate.






He is hyperventilating. ]

Plover's Sanity Break

[idolpro]

[ With that last blow of damage, everything snaps sharply into focus.

That corner of your mind that you weren't touching before, because it wasn't yours, not something of you is no longer held back. You can't be you right now-- you're in too much pain, too much agony. And this thing is clear. Vengeance is sharp and sure, and it tells you the story and what you need to do next:

[You can hear the cops voices outside: we've got you surrounded. Like they've had you surrounded for the past few days, the two of you living off snacks, crackers and crummy jerky, barricaded up in the tower with your guns and defenses they can't just rush. They think one of you is the hostage, not that this was the deal of partners in crime, but in all those bank jobs you were in it together. One of you just cleans up mighty fine for the cameras, is all.

Two seemed like a mighty fine number to take on the world with. But the dozen odd cops out front, they don't agree.

And your stomach with its traitorous gurgling, these days it don't agree. And now, you hear the door downstairs betray you. There's the sound of wooden splintering, and footsteps, a whole herd of footsteps you hear thundering their way in. You glance over at your partner, and decide against a glorious last stand— there's no glory when the two of you don't have the energy to even stand all the way upright. So you clasp hands, warm and sweaty, like you'll hold them to the end, and then shove your sweetheart away and wear your best grin to face the gunfire that's coming your way.

It's just not fair, this six on one stuff, is all you think as rat-a-tat-tat bullets riddle through your body. The scream you hear coming from your partner says someone agrees, but it's not enough to bring you back, just enough to remind you to keep the smile on, as it all goes black. ]

Sanity break effects: you may continue to play your character as mostly their normal self, but in pursuit of this goal, through whatever justification you prefer.

You may also play it with the vengeful spirit's personality overlaid on your character to some degree: if you choose to play with this, your character may become very us-against-the-world in mind set. People they're "in" with they trust with their life, people on the outs are canon fodder or villains. They might want to take their vengeance against people on the outs. Alternatively, they may just want to prove that two is enough, wanting to take on the world like that, with their group. Or, they may want to prove their death wasn't fair, take enough people and anyone will go down easy. Characters possessed might take on an aspect of codepdence, that they think they can't do anything without someone at their side, or they might want the extra protection as well. All of these aspects are optional, and may be individually played up or toned down to whatever degree would be fun for you, so long as they ultimately motivate your character to pursue the traitor goal.
