ROUND 3

[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.]

Hallucinations - Paloma, cw fire, tongue removal, bone breaking

The world you once knew is on fire. As you smell the familiar scent of burning flesh, you remember that you couldn’t protect them this time either.

As they prepare to start the torture, your eyes linger at the room you’re stuck in. A vase of dead and wilted flowers sits lifelessly in a corner: Irises, daisies, freesias, snowdrops. You’re still smiling.

You look in the mirror and you see a younger version of yourself. That’s you, isn’t it? They’re smiling like you are, but more importantly, their eyes are still filled with hope. You’re still smiling.

Ah but that’s the mask you have on your face, isn’t it? What’s underneath the mask?

Isn’t it the expression that you made when you reached for the hand of someone you tried to trust, only to have it be slapped away? Who even knew you could make that sort of expression?

You remember the feeling of the knife against your tongue as they sliced it slowly from your mouth. That was your punishment. After all, it was your sweet words that have betrayed those around you. They made sure that it would not happen again. Still, you smile because it’s all you know. That seems to anger them further and they reach to grab your face. If you like to smile, they’ll make sure to help you remember. They cut slits on the edges of your mouth, searing pain burning your face, but you still smile.

After all, the smile is your mask.

As you feel them break the bones in your fingers one by one, you wonder. Isn’t it funny how you can’t even bother to feel bad for yourself? Is this something you feel like you’ve earned? Or is it simply because you sold your soul to the devil long, long ago?

You can see a single marigold that is standing amongst the dead flowers.

And you laugh.
