ENDGAME

[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.))

Do you want to know where he's going? Do you want to see him again?

[exequte]

I don't know. I... I don't want to not see him, but....

It's like I said. He doesn't seem to want to see me. I'm not trying to keep him with me i he doesn't want to. I've done enough terrible things that I understand if he wants nothing more to do with me, and it seems like that is what this is.

[bluescreenofdeath]

June. June listen. Have we not just established that your brother is absolute shit at communicating?

[exequte]

If he doesn't then why did he betray me? Why doesn't he want to talk to me? Why is he avoiding me?

I've known him longer than you have, Ene. He's... for almost as long as I can remember, he's been the only family I've had. Besides, he's never treated me like this.

[bluescreenofdeath]

I think he's trying to be better, and has absolutely no clue how to do that. I might not know him as well as you do, but you still seem pretty confused by him right now. We could sit here and speculate all day long about what his motivations are, or you could try talking to him.

[exequte]

I don't want to if he doesn't want to be around me anymore!

[bluescreenofdeath]

And do you know that for absolute certain? Or is he just being cagey and evasive? Has he outright said 'I never want to see you again'?

[exequte]

No. He's said he wants to be uninvolved in the future, though. In any plans I might make. My future, if I really am going to live, is nothing but plans. If he doesn't want to be part of them, he doesn't have much choice, there's too many things that I still need to do.

[bluescreenofdeath]

For gods sake make time to have dinner together or something. No matter how many plans you make you need to eat.

[exequte]

[She smiles, and it's polite and nothing else.]

Thank you for worrying, but I really... I don't think it will be that easy.

[bluescreenofdeath]

[WOW WHO'S WORRYING IT'S NOT LIKE I CARE OR ANYTHING] Who said anything about easy? Even if it would be, you two rebuilding trust after this is going to be absolutely horrible. But so what? Aren't you used to working hard for what you want? Well, it's your life. I can't make you two reconcile, so do whatever you'll regret least.
