idolpro | Betrayal - 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. . .

Not everyone who died here was given a coffin, or a grave. The sight of an empty coffin's decadent lining fills you with a sense of revulsion; you get the feeling that some people's finery came at other people's expense. Someone amidst the less fortunate once tried to bring justice - only to fail, and die a nameless, unknown death, while these people went on to one day even rot in more silk and gold. But it's just a hunch - the knowledge sits uncertainly in your head, faint and far-off. You could bring it into focus, maybe, but the vague impression of loathing and despair - well, it's probably better off left a vague impression. If you lose your sanity, or are damaged too far, though, it will overwhelm you.

A medallion sits on an intact monument and Exael's hologram balances on the edge of it, rocking back and forth and watching you. 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 (kill someone and steal an item from them) 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. ]

-- back here again?

[ hello guess who is a traitor and does look like he got stabbed in terms of ripped clothing but still way more okay than most of you. ]

[In a state but grabbing Oni when he sees him to just, fucking kiss him man.]

[.... You know what? Just gonna leave the two of you alone. You take care of them Oni. Yeah, you do that.]

[I mean he'd grab you too but he's busy so FINE.]

[I'm giving you friends!!! SHEESH!]

[ he has a lot of questions and his eye goes wide both at the kiss and what the fuck happened?? To leave Phoenix in that state, he's making an alarmed sound but more just, concerned. and he grabs his arms but not to stop him. ]

[ 99 just tossed Sanguine at both of you! He looks pretty dazed and out of it, though, so uh...

Hi? ]

[He makes a desperately hungry sound, pushing further against Oni until Sanguine stumbles into them and makes him break the kiss.]

[also tossed over by 99, but he's just kind of soundlessly and bonelessly crashing against]

Edited 2018-08-10 04:15 (UTC)

[ he takes a deep breath for air when Phoenix breaks the kiss and - - is pretty immediately going into Protective Guard Dog mode, trying to wrap his arms around all of them the best he can, lean against the ones he can't reach. ]

What the fuck - - happened to you guys - -?

[cool I don't have enough ARMS to hold you all, trying anyway.]

This house--everyone has to die.

[ Sanguine's not going to respond out loud, he's just going to nuzzle at Oni while he tries to get his bearings on whether or not this is reality. ]

[... sorry. too busy staring because it's actually the first time he's seen Oni in this place.

UNSURE. IF REAL?]

[Somehow. Even bloodier. Anyway hi. He's bloody head to toe, covered in bruises, and has a makeshift satchel made of dining room curtains that bulges oddly and drips with blood.]

[Walks over and grabs the medallion along with strips of lining. He's missing his coat and starts to head over to the east entrance --- until he sees his unitmates.]

[Okay, hopefully unitmates will take care of each other as he dumps them all in a pile or tries to. He points at them.]

And don't leave this room. ... Graveyard. Whatever.

[And exiting east.]

[doki]

[ Sanguine isn't any bloodier (he IS plenty blood-covered), but he is curled up on himself and gripping his head. ]

[Grabbing him by the collar and tossing him at the Oni and Phoenix kissing pile.

That should make you feel better.]

[ You're a pal. ]

[not as blood-covered as Sanguine and Phoenix, but still has... a generous amount?

also is kind of curled up, staring into the middle distance, not even registering the change in scenery. one hand's in his hair and tugging at it periodically. should be noted that his fingers are... well, he did some fingerpainting. its fine.

he's just?

waiting??]

[K! YOU ARE GETTING THROWN IN THE KISSING PILE, TOO!]

[--?!?!?!! WHAT

WHAT HAPPEN???

STARTLED CAT IS STARTLED]

[It's probably fine! GOOD LUCK, BOSS!]
