ENDGAME

[kentucky_mcgiygas]

[A wall panel in the green room slides out of view, revealing an elevator. Get in it and it will take you down to the hotel (description here), where your fellow contestants - alive and ghostly - await.

You may spend as long as you want here, ordering up as much room service as you like, but when you're read to go home, you'll find that one floor (new to the current hotel occupants) has nothing but doors with your names on them. Exit, and you'll show up exactly where you were when you left.]

((THANK YOU FOR PLAYING EVERYONE. Ghosts, feel free to materialize and talk to people. You may now speak about your prizes.))

[ Looking for Mary under everything and around everything, making a big show of it. ]

Mary, where are you hiding?

[partcompany]

Yyyyyyeah. Though I mean. Last time someone ended up switching his prize to reviving everyone who died in new bodies. I guess no one did that this time...

[glowshine]

Oh!! I'm so happy for all of you...

You all deserve a happy ending.

I might not get mine, but seeing those of you who will... Makes me very glad.

[bluescreenofdeath]

Huh. Good luck with that. A new life, sounds fun!

[jinglebros]

You told me you didn't want to go to the hotel! Then Zelda comes in and says you told her you wanted it! Who was lying, you or her?!

[golden_dream]

No... it's not just for myself. It's also for the sake of my lovely daughter...

My precious, precious gift from God...

[...]

[court_chesster]

...yeah, fair enough.

At least it's over now, right? I'm sure Santa had some happily-ever-after wish for you.

[jinglebros]

...didn't even know anyone could do that.

[ Santa looks stricken. ]

[jinglebros]

I'll make sure to be extra happy, just for you.

[court_chesster]

Oh, that? I lied to Zelda. She actually seemed to like me, so how was I supposed to tell her that I was gunning for the prize?

[jinglebros]

[ he wanders off. ]

[golden_dream]

[pauses, stares at him when he offers to let her punch him]

No. ...Like I said: I don't care anymore.

I think I let it on when I told you about our family, didn't I? We fight for ourselves... we're selfish, greedy people.

[she laughs, wryly]

Tell me though, Santa-san. Did Kyrie-nee-san even talk about voting for my sister, Eva-nee-san, with you? Or was that just talk, from her?

[jinglebros]

Go find him, man. I'll be waiting if you need to talk some more.

[keybroad]

[Slow nod. You know what, she hears it, she hears that she is going to have a schedule and a future and all that jazz.]

Hey, if you want you can tell whoever else comes through here not to be like... Hazuki. Surname Kashiwabara, given name Hazuki.

[unexpectedboner]

[just. stands there, stunned]

[bluescreenofdeath]

[Invisible ghost spying because like hell she actually trusts Santa alone with Mary now]

[court_chesster]

Yeah. Maybe.

[ddddddddddubious]

...What are you even doing?

[jinglebros]

Fuck. Fuck!

[ Santa sits down where he is and covers his face. ]

Kick my ass, I messed the hell up!

[manuscripture]

I'll find him. He's hard to miss.

[scribbly]

[Mary doesn't have it in her to let anger bubble up when she hears Santa. Anger burns hot and fierce, and the past short while has given Mary enough of that.

She's just around a corner not so far away, pressed against the wall, hoping Santa will not find her.]

[bluescreenofdeath]

[AN ARMOURED HELMET COMING FOR HIS HEAD TOO.]

[refusedtoleave]

[Whenever Natsuhi's done with Kyrie. She hobbles over. At first she doesn't seem to do anything but stare.

Then she SLAPS HIM IN THE FACE!]

[bluescreenofdeath]

Whatever I want.

[jinglebros]

I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU

[ Santa shrieks this as he comes at Junpei with a fist out. HE'S GOING TO POP HIS STITCHES DOING THIS, SANTA NO. ]

[rowboats]

[ And while he's still standing there in a complete daze, Ib is going to come from behind and swing a dinner platter at the back of his knees. whack.

whack.

whack. ]
