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.))

Do you feel like it's too high a cost? I'd think this would be a good outcome for you.

[golden_dream]

I'd say 'death' is a pretty high cost.

[she scratches her head] Because we hate each other, and everything else?

[meatitfeedson]

...I thought at least you agreed with me. That there isn't too high a cost for something like this.

And that too, you got rid of your greatest tormentor right?

[golden_dream]

I do agree with you! I just... you know, would want to see if there's any other way. --Maybe there's another wish-giving game show out there that only gives a slap on a wrist as a penalty instead of death. I don't know.

...She was when I was growing up. Certainly. I hated her... but... it's not exactly the kind of hate that breeds loathing. It's the kind of hate that makes you share an identity.

... She could've killed me several times and didn't. Maybe it was self-preservation at that stage, but I really thought I was going to die when I needed to rely on her.

[meatitfeedson]

Something like that wouldn't give very good prizes.

I guess I can't understand your relationship then. I hate my sister pure and simple. But... she honestly would kill me, without any need for motivation, so I suppose it's different from the start.

[golden_dream]

[hangs her head]

... I always wanted her to like me.

[...yes, that was why she let herself get tricked so many times... 'Maybe this time, she really means it.']

[but before she could let herself get wrapped up in maudlin thoughts, she had to address Kyrie's anger]

... A-Anyway, maybe you're right. The game was just unfair from the start, wasn't it? If anyone can get a hotel pass, there's no meaning to it after a while. If not for that, you would have won easily.

[meatitfeedson]

[That makes sense actually. It's sad, too.]

I liked the hotel passes until they screwed me over really. ...It was my own fault, for June. If I hadn't done that, I definitely would have won...

[golden_dream]

That girl still puzzles me. But... I've given up on making any sense of it.

Maybe instead of Snake, Eva-nee-san could've used her pass on June that round...
