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.))

[jinglebros]

No, he's really not.

[golden_dream]

I'd say I regret my vote for him now, but it ended the game... so I suppose I can live with it.

[jinglebros]

Don't regret it. I scraped a vote for him to so he'd end up in the hotel. If he'd only gotten one, he'd have stayed. Can you imagine if the game had gone on?

[golden_dream]

I imagine we'd have entered the dreaded "stabbing round," then, and it would end with at least one more person dead...

...Probably me.

[jinglebros]

No. I'd have protected you.

I promises Lotus, after all.

[golden_dream]

Oh, come on. ...Seriously?

And if it was Kyrie-nee-san doing the stabbing?

[jinglebros]

She betrayed me this round. She already went down.

[golden_dream]

I told you... she's 'ga-ga' for Rudolf.

[pauses, then goes on]

I can't say for certain, but I'd bet anything her grand prize involved him on some level. --No, I know what it must be. It can only be one thing.

[jinglebros]

Yeah? What's that?

[golden_dream]

That Rudolf had never married his first wife.

[jinglebros]

...ah.

Well, that's...

Oh boy.

[golden_dream]

You didn't hear it from me.

...Got it?

[jinglebros]

Got it.

[golden_dream]

Good. --Like I said, you can't compete with Rudolf.

...What about you?

[jinglebros]

June gets to live. And I go home with Corrin and Niles.

[ He's not as happy about this as he was before. Too many people have beat him down for it. ]

[golden_dream]

...Why them?

Not that I'm judging, I'm just curious. You didn't know them before the game, did you? Or am I wrong?

[jinglebros]

I didn't. But it's not just about them.

It's about getting a chance to start over, a chance to separate myself from an unhealthy relationship, a chance to not be arrested.

[golden_dream]

... You mean for all that kidnapping?

[jinglebros]

And then some.

[golden_dream]

Not to be a bitch, but it sounds like you could stand to pay for at least a few of those crimes.

How did Kyrie-nee-san 'betray' you anyway?

[jinglebros]

She promised to vote for June and didn't. She was going to let my sister die.

[golden_dream]

Really...?

And, how did you divine that out...?

[jinglebros]

It was a series of things. [ He shrugs. ] Too many things.

[golden_dream]

What if you were wrong?

[jinglebros]

I wasn't. She confirmed it directly to my face.
