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.))

Comments

[manuscripture]

Him and I didn't get along until the end there. I'm grateful that we did.

[keybroad]

I'm really happy. I'm so happy. [voice catching in throat, struggling to cover it up with comedy] I almost thought nobody would ask you to "prom".

[manuscripture]

I already had a prom date.

[keybroad]

[actively choking back tears now; her stupid extended metaphor about a school dance of all things is finally hammering home the reality that he's alive]

You already had someone you'd get in the backseat of a car with, that's different from someone who gets a matching corsage or runs with you for prom king.

[Mac can't run for prom king because he's dead... well, that seemed pretty likely, but wow, Rohan has been bereaved now? that part is only sinking in just now]

[manuscripture]

[ LEAVE HIS MOURNING ALONE. ]

Bah. I just--

... Are you about to cry?

[keybroad]

No! No!

[in fact actively crying]

It's not like I'm surprised you... didn't... die...

[manuscripture]

[ Frown. ]

Lotus... [ It's not like he CARES OR SOMETHING. With a quick glance, he reaches out and pulls her into a hug. ]

I'm here. See? It would take more than that to kill me...

[keybroad]

[Returns the hug. Now Rohan can understand just how truly ridiculous is the size of her titties. Flagrantly sobbing but refusing to look him in the face and trying to speak in full sentences.]

A lot more. They'd probably get, like, a giant eraser. Or, uh, whiteout fluid. Whatever they use in the mangas. Maybe you wouldn't know, since, your art always comes out perfect the first time.
