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.))

[Smashes her in the legs with the helmet again] Isn't that cute.

[Worldend Dominator]

[hell truly hath no fury like Rosa when Maria is involved.]

[she makes to grab the helmet, catching it with her fingers, and then turns her body. The heavy helmet, after picking up a terrible centrifugal force and speed, would be aimed to slam into the head of the ghost tormenting her.]

[bluescreenofdeath]

[Wow that's actually kind of badass, Takane is almost impressed before she gets slammed in the head and knocked backwards. She's already dead, so it can't bruise her or bleed or anything dramatic like that, but Takane is certainly surprised to find that hurts. Not that she will let Rosa know any of that of course gotta act tough.] ...Nah. Still feels cold.

[golden_dream]

...

[Rosa wasn't done. Rosa pulled a fountain pen from her pocket. But she held it crooked. She placed it in her palm, in the gap between her middle finger and her ring finger so that it stuck out when she made a fist, almost like it was a stinger growing out of her fist.]

We'll see about that!

[apparently, it could only be hurt when it was moving something already...? Rosa realized that... and so waited for the spirit to try something again, stinger at the ready]

[bluescreenofdeath]

[Sees that pen and starts laughing. Damn lady you could have been a cool mother if you weren't an Ushiromiya.] Oh wow! You're really going to fight a ghost. Just so you know, this is the kind of behaviour that gets you killed in horror movies.

[golden_dream]

...I'm giving you one last warning.

Turn around and leave, or I'll have to get serious.

[bluescreenofdeath]

[Walks right up in front of her, still intangible.] Uh huh.

[golden_dream]

[not yet, not yet, but she'd keep an eye out for moving objects]

You think you're invincible? If this is a horror movie and you're the ghost, then I'm the mother who fights back. You know how that ends...?

You think you can overcome a mother's love?!

[bluescreenofdeath]

This looks more like a mother's fury to me. Mothers in movies are normally fighting to protect their children, but your Maria is going to be fine no matter what. Don't miscast yourself as the hero just because I'm the villain.

[golden_dream]

[same thing, really]

If you're so sure, why don't you make your move then... ghost?

[bluescreenofdeath]

I told you didn't I? I want to hear.

[golden_dream]

I'm on to you. Whatever I say, it'll never be enough. I won't let anyone deny the love I have for my daughter. --This entire game has been for her sake.

If you want to blame someone for not protecting Mary, look in the mirror!

[bluescreenofdeath]

[Jokes on you Rosa I already hate myself for that YOU CAN'T MAKE ME FEEL ANY MORE SELF LOATHING THAN I ALREADY FEEL.] This isn't denying the love you have for your daughter. You said yourself I don't know anything about you or your daughter. This is doubting your ability to take care of children.

[golden_dream]

I'm not playing your game. It's none of your business, and whatever I say, you'll find some fault in it.

Maybe, at the very least, you shouldn't doubt my ability to take care of... you.

[bluescreenofdeath]

It's absolutely my business when you've already helped kill a little girl. I already find fault in you. You've done nothing but beg and whimper without any remorse, and now you're angry you're making threats. Threats that only make you look more violent. Is this really supposed to be your defence? Will that pen prove you're not guilty?

[golden_dream]

Lies. I helped no one kill Mary. I have nothing to apologize for.

[bluescreenofdeath]

[Wow what the hell HTML] Then prove it.

[golden_dream]

I already have! --No one asked me to vote for Mary! It was down on the light-board for Junpei to vote for Mary! What else do you want?!

[bluescreenofdeath]

The board full of lies that you and your family and friends ignored? The board you used to hide all your betrayals? Kyrie planned to kill Mary with her own hands. She gave me your name as part of the plan. Now why would she do that? Do you care at all that Mary died because of your groups plans?

[golden_dream]

We didn't ignore it! The plan from the beginning was that we four sisters would use our votes to save each other... chain them from round-to-round so that no one would get caught with the 'no-voting-a-person-twice' rule. It was messed up when Eva-nee-san didn't get a vote that round, so Kyrie-nee-san told me she was working on trading votes! I was to vote for Rhys and Junpei, and I did! At no point did anyone tell me I was expected to vote for Mary! No one!

Of course I didn't want the little girls to die! I said from the start they should be sent to the hotel, where it's safe! I! Said! It! From! The! Start!

[golden_dream]

...

What the hell are you saying? Kyrie-nee-san is tough... but she's not capable of knifing a little girl to death... She has her own daughter, six-years-old... no way... could a mother hurt a child like that...

[bluescreenofdeath]

[Oh jeez is she fucking serious] ...Mothers and fathers hurt little kids all the time. Even their own. Kyrie might be a loving mother but she doesn't care about the kids here.

[golden_dream]

[if looks are any indication, she is]

... You're really saying Kyrie-nee-san killed Mary?

[bluescreenofdeath]

She admitted she did. And then she tried to bargain with the clown to get her grand prize by killing Ib, because that would make for the biggest spectacle. You telling me you missed that little episode?

[golden_dream]

... Of course I saw it, but I didn't think she was serious. I thought she was emotional about losing and looking for whatever straw she could grab... she'd... never actually... stab... a little girl.
