ROUND 2

[idolpro]

[ The room is BRIGHT YELLOW, as all the rooms you will enter are. Black tiles make up the floor, changing to your unit's color when pressure is placed on them. There is a button in the very center of the room standing on a podium; it's slightly smaller than palm-sized.]

[ DON'T LIKE THIS ]

Er.

[UNFORTUNATELY, SPEEDSTERS. Did not actually stop to see who else was in the room, just zipped right over to the button first--pauses when he sees Shrike though...

Briefly considers her before he reaches into his pocket to turn down his own music, earbuds still in.]

... Hey Shrike-san.

Re: Shrike vs Pink

[softlyfalling]

...ah, hi Pink.

I was... going to try a bit harder, but...

Re: Shrike vs Pink

[worldlyafflictions]

[--Hits the button before she can quite finish her thought.... A little like he felt he should before she gave up... but maybe he's just doesn't care either way.]

I was faster.

Re: Shrike vs Pink

[softlyfalling]

...I guess I'll just have to trust that one of the others is trying their best.

[ she rubs at her nose, slightly. ]

I can't really be unhappy about pep winning, though.

[worldlyafflictions]

[Small frown of conflict--but it's small. He considers her another moment before he goes over, hand out.]

Dunno if this'll do anything against their punishment, but--

[He'll hit her with Cloud 9 if she takes his hand.]

Re: Shrike vs Pink

[softlyfalling]

[ it takes her half a moment to realize what he means, but—she takes his hand, and her posture relaxes significantly. ]

...thanks.

Hallucinations - Shrike

[idolpro]

The ground beneath your feet feels soft and uneven, a little less like mud and a little more like a pile of tree branches with leaves to cushion your steps. Even without looking, you know what it is that you stand on. You can smell the metal in the air just as much as you can taste it in your throat.

But you must march on. You cannot stop here.

You walk on, toward your destiny.

Your mother waits for you, sword and sheath in hand. You must take it, so that you can become the brilliant leader you were meant to be.

You take the sword and, just as she expects you to, you unsheathe it, turn the tip of the blade up, and you cut her down.

You can't hear what she say—you don't even hear the blade pierce her chest—but you're sure it was her scolding your form, and scolding you for trembling the entire time.

Her corpse falls to the ground, making another stone in the pavement for your path.

You cannot stop here. You walk on, toward your destiny.

As you walk, more corpses make more pavement. Nemesis, Kestrel, Eclipse, Amaranth, Gold, Cardigan, Griffin, Kohime, Sekhmet—the list grows as your path continues, on and on and on; they smile at you and tell you that you'll do great, that you'll do incredible things, that you'll lead everyone to the world as it is meant to be, and you cut them all down. A few times, you don't cut them properly—you tremble too much—and you watch as they buckle and fall, howling in pain and suffering until you have to show them mercy.

But you cannot stop here. You cannot stop here.

You walk on.

Toward your destiny.
