WEEK SEVEN: ENDGAME

[hellscapes]

Rise and shine, little deadlings. It's the dawn of the final day. The oppressive heat of Hell seems to rise and fall around you, and no matter where you slept last night you'll find that all of the islands across this realm are buzzing with excitement. You all know what comes next. Take some time, gather yourselves, and maybe even have some breakfast. Pick out your best party outfits and brush up on your etiquette. At about eleven in the morning, all participants single-dead and double-dead will find themselves on the receiving end of a new DM.

party starts in an hour!! if you're not in line now, you're gonna miss the start!!

Better start making your way to those wrought-iron gates at the edge of the city. You can see it now, the giant mansion situated at the top of the volcano, but it's still a distance away. The line seems to crawl, slowly, and as you draw closer you'll see several demons and humans being let through and just as many being turned away. But you? Lucky you...as you approach, a flickering shadow three times your size looks you over before letting you through the gate. There's a bridge strung over a pool of lava, wobbling with your every step as your skin practically boils you alive.

But then...as you approach the front doors? The Mansion Welcomes You.

Come on in! You were invited, after all. The party's just getting started but there isn't a shortage of humans and demons already milling around the property as music blasts from all directions. Immediately as you enter, you'll see a large sign hanging in the foyer advertising today's drink-off. There's also a list of names under it:

Akira Fudo
Arataki Itto
Gideon Nav
Hana Song
Harrowhark Nonagesimus
Hunter (Blonde)
Kaname Date
Kuranosuke Koibuchi
Lin Jingheng
Lu Bixing
Persephone
Rynlan Dawnslight
Ryo Asuka
Thancred Waters
Zelgadis

The drink-off itself isn't for another couple of hours though. So why not relax and enjoy the party? Mingle around, explore the house, make your way to the bar to grab a drink...and prepare to play for your life.

Hi and happy endgame everybody! We're so excited to see you here! Today's endgame activities are going to be a little fast and loose, so please be sure to check out the various top levels for what's available to you!

[I still don't know how to play King's Cup so that's a pass but regardless, Thancred is here at the party! In rare form, he is free of his gunbreaker outfit once again, opting instead for peak college jock fashion of a hoodie under a bomber jacket and jeans.

Other style updates of note: his left ear is pierced with a small silver hoop, and he's got a necklace on. He's conspicuously not armed with his typical Dad Bag™ today, but his pocket does jingle every once in a while.

Mostly he just seems to be waiting for the main event to begin!]

[cavaliered]

[she comes over to sit down next to him, nudging him.]

You gonna wallflower the whole time?

[onlythans]

Just observing for the moment. Nothing wrong with that, is there?

[Hello. Nice hat. He reaches up for the brim and pulls it down over her eyes, a little harder than is reasonably polite.]

[cavaliered]

[thanks she thought of thancred when she put it on]

Nah - hey. [SPLUTTERS. she shoves her hat back up, and then punches him in the shoulder. she is no longer nerfed so it probably hurts more than she means for it to.]

You have to spend the last night before the end having a good time, it's the law.

[onlythans]

[Ow, fuck, right in the injuries. At least he's cool enough to just hiss under his breath, rather than being an uncool loser who feels pain or anything.]

Oh, is it? I wasn't aware of that newly-added Satan's Cup rule.

[cavaliered]

[oopsies]

Yeah, I made it up right now, but I got an eight, so it's the law.

[psynchronise]

[ well he might not be on the satan's cup top levels, but he can't escape the consequences other people have. hi thancred. ]

Pucker up.

[ because he's planting a smooch on him ]

[voidshift]

[giving him a thumbs up for good taste, from where he's currently draped on thancred.]

[psynchronise]

[ he would give him a thumbs up in return but before he can he is getting reverse uno'd so rip to date specifically ]

[voidshift]

[hehehe.

after they're done, rynlan leans in to smooch date too. you don't get to have just one!]

[psynchronise]

[ oh well. this is allowed. ]

You didn't even pull a 10.

[voidshift]

Oh, so you don't want me to?

[onlythans]

I know I saw him pull a ten. You've got a ten right there in your hand, don't you, isne ul?

[area rogue is always here to help gaslight gatekeep girlboss when he's not the one being ggg'd.]

[psynchronise]

[ looks at this ] Did you teach him sleight of hand?

[psynchronise]

I have a feeling you'd do what you wanted, card or not.

[voidshift]

I always do.

[hehe.]

[onlythans]

[This is harassment how can this be happening to him when he's literally trapped between Ryn on his back and Date in front of him. Well, anyway, this all is about the spectacle, isn't it? So let's have a spectacle, then.]

Really, you call that a kiss?

[And he proceeds to follow Date's kiss with one of his own, but escalated — hands on either side of his face, dragging him down, the whole bit.]

[psynchronise]

[ sometimes you fly too close to the sun? you do that sometimes. and this is what happens. date is absolutely squeaking and he is dragged into a full on, escalated kiss. ]

[voidshift]

[your jock fashion...

rynlan is currently floating, so he just drapes on him from behind, weightless, his head resting on top of thancred's. no shadows at the moment.]

You're allowed to have fun, you know.

[onlythans]

I'm having more fun now than I was a moment ago.

[Flattery.]

The contest isn't for a few bells yet. I'm only taking the measure of our circumstances in the meantime.

[voidshift]

I'd hope so.

[the flattery absolutely works.

and, gently touching the earring-]

How is this healing?

[onlythans]

Faster than all the other holes in me, I'll give it that.

[There may come a day when he lets this joke die but: it is not this day.]

I've been thinking, though. Our main aim here is to put on a spectacle for the demons, yes?

[voidshift]

...seems to be, yes. What are you thinking?

[he keeps this to a low murmur, remaining close where he's still draped on thancred comfortably.]

[onlythans]

[He nods almost imperceptibly toward the assembled gathering at large, before leaning close as well to murmur his idea in Ryn's ear.]

[voidshift]

[his ear flicks, and he laughs a little. yeah. yeah, definitely.]
