[ 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.]

Re: Ruby Sour vs Angel
Umm, second of all, it is because the hosts are running this game and we cannot escape. It is very sad and I do not like it.
Re: Ruby Sour vs Angel
Whatever, you're not gonna beat me and my unit's more important than playing fair anyway, and I don't wanna have to slap around my friend's goody good unitmate, so just give up. Okay?
Re: Ruby Sour vs Angel
Thank you for being consider of me also!
But I could beat you.
Re: Ruby Sour vs Angel
Excuse me?
[ you ever try to scream at yourself internally to just let someone saying they could in any way do something better than you go and move on because that's better for yourself and everyone you care about but you're full of pride and dragon blood and literally cannot?
because ]
Is that a challenge?

Re: Ruby Sour vs Angel
at least Ruby gets to say it was a fair race. they guess that does feel better than just telling her to lose.
and they won, so really, what else matters? they press the button, before sagging and putting a hand over their heart. ]
Haah -- told you. Sorry, kid. You can't beat a goddess. Not one who has to protect her people.
Hallucinations - Angel
Oh, hello, you say, and you welcome him to future is now. He's your unitmate now, after all, so you need to be good to him—he's yours, after all.
But he doesn't see it that way. With others, he smiles, but with you, he scowls—he hates you—and one day, when you're both alone, he pushes you down against a mirror.
Instead of hitting it, you fall through it: down, down, down the rabbit hole, until you're trapped on the other side, in pitch-black darkness. The light comes from the other side of the mirror—where you can see him smiling at Intensity, at your unitmates, at future is now, and none of them miss you. None of them recognize you're gone.
He takes your place.
Once again, he takes your things—he takes your home—he takes your everything. Just like your kingdom—it's snatched away from you, and it's his now.
Why didn't your brother ever learn to share?
Beyond the mirror, it starts to snow. In the darkness, you find yourself freezing, surrounded by nothing but pure white and black. It's frightening here—you could die and no one would know—you have to get out.
You dig your nails against the mirror, trying to get back to where you belong. You dig and dig and dig and dig, until your nails are worn down, until your fingertips are peeling and bleeding, and you're still on this side and he—
He plays games with Intensity. He takes your sheep. He performs as an idol that brings everyone smiles, everything that you were supposed to do, and you realize—
Well—
If he's out there, doing that, then he must be "Angel". He's "Angel", the idol that brings smiles to everyone.
If that's the case—
Then who are you?
You, with no kingdom.
You, with no court.
You, with no unit.
Everything you are could just be taken like that—even your identity as an idol.
Just who are you, now?
