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.))

You son of a bitch!

[ Santa jumps at him with a fist out. ]

[court_chesster]

[Blocking his face]

What the hell?

[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?!

[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]

Fuck. Fuck!

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

Kick my ass, I messed the hell up!

[court_chesster]

[watches him for a moment, then shrugs]

Whatever. I'm still alive. I can't be bothered to care about much more than that.

[jinglebros]

...okay.

Was your consolation prize okay, at least...?

[court_chesster]

Yeah. They're giving me the chance to run away from all my problems with the person I admire most.

...I'm a little nervous about that second part. I don't actually have any reason to think he'll want to go with me.

[jinglebros]

Maybe they'll persuade him?

[court_chesster]

Hm. Maybe.

[UNSURE]

...Well, if he doesn't want me around he can just leave.

[jinglebros]

If he doesn't, then he never deserved you in the first place.

[court_chesster]

Maybe that's my problem. Nobody deserves me.

[jinglebros]

Hey, come on now. If I was going home, I'd want to find you. You're a pretty cool guy.

[court_chesster]

Spoken like somebody who doesn't know me very well. But I appreciate the sentiment all the same.

[jinglebros]

I actually have a favor to ask, if I can do that one last time.

[court_chesster]

I don't mind hearing you out, at any rate.

[jinglebros]

Beginning of 2028. Go and find Akane and offer help with Crash Keys. Tell her Aoi sent you to help with the rabbits.

Only do this if you're willing to get involved in a lot of shit, but I promise, it'll be a wild ride.

[court_chesster]

Ah yes, June mentioned that. Nine years is a lot of time to wait for the end of the world. Tell me who did the thing and I'll handle it on my own.

[jinglebros]

That's the problem - we don't know. If we knew, we'd have put a stop to it long before.

[ Pauses ]

She did?

[court_chesster]

A little. I told her to just write down what she knows, and I'll take care of it.

[jinglebros]

I don't know more than her, so you've got all the deets.

[court_chesster]

Well, we'll see how it goes. I'm pretty resourceful for a low-level carnie.
