[CERBERUS]

[guillotineroom]

[you open your eyes and find yourself in a conference room, of sorts. there's a large, ovular table in the middle of the room, surrounded by enough chairs to seat every person on the team. on one side of the room is a white board, equipped with white erase markers for your strategizing (or your shitposting). on the other side of the room, hanging from the wall, is a jumbo screen]

[there are no exits]

Comments

[ROUND 1]

[guillotineroom]

[on one side of said screen, you see a list of five actions, each equipped with a certain point value. On the other side, you see a list of the ten other teams playing in this game, each one highlighted in green, indicating that they are targetable. the screen is touchable, and in order to assign cards to other teams, you merely have to slide the card to the corresponding team]

[remember you must play at least one card per round]

[fujimaru]

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, huh.

[menphina]

...


[ Looking at everyone then back down. ]


... Nymph is being excluded. That could mean my brother is safe... but Echidna is targetable... how do we want to play?

Re: [DISCUSSION]

[moonlit_knight]

...Let's just play strip poker again.

[messianic]

[ ECHIDNA........ ]

... We're only playing one, right? The bare minimum...

[eggstinction]

I am going to devour her and her helper.

[A RIVAL MOON, HOW DARE U TSUKUYOMI]

[lonesummit]

Oh my. It seems I have stepped back into quite the situation.

[It's a bad one! Zhongli isn't sure how to approach it yet.]

So, we have finally come to this.

. . . We could shuffle. I know that would be putting us in danger. And there's the possibility that we would only end up with even worse cards. I normally wouldn't advocate for taking a risk like that . . . but I think these are special circumstances.

[Bugbear . . . he sighs, folding his hands on the table. For now, he's between crying fits, but it could start up again at any time. And he sure does look exhausted from just the first one or two.]

[fujimaru]

[ SURE DON'T LIKE HOW BUGBEAR IS APPARENTLY OUT OF THE GAME :\\\\\\\\\\\ DISLIKE. THUMBS DOWN, WARDEN, DO NOT RECOMMEND. ]

[peacetalks]

[looking at those cards, frowning]

We have a dearth of mild options to choose from. If the only cards that can be filled are ones of escalating violence...

[sighs]

Does anyone have a suggestion for which team to target?

[eggstinction]

[setting a triple armful of sandwiches, snacks, and fast good on the conference table before slouching into a seat]

... I was wrong last round. I apologize.

[menphina]

We should just do what Ritsuka and I want and use the murder card on the warden.


[ Sarcastic but she's also serious. And so very done. ]

[DISQUALIFIED]

[guillotineroom]

[the ringing in your head returns shortly after the punishments are doled out, only. . . it's louder this time. louder, sharper, more painful, and you can't make it stop, it won't go away, it won't leave it's there it's there it's there and it's driving you insane and–]

[you hear a voice. masculine, commanding, but full of a tough kind of. . . love?]

You. . . you may become my children, too. . .

[. . . the ringing fades. when it does, you feel pretty normal! except–]

[you love Typhon, right? not your possession– you. with all of your heart. Typhon was only doing what he thought was best for his family, and if you obey him– if you revere him– you can be a part of that family, too. you want to be a part of that family. you will do anything to be a part of that family]

[your TWEAT is being brainwashed by Typhon! oh no! Your character will be normal EXCEPT when it comes to anything Typhon. . . they will talk about how sympathetic they are for him, about how they wish to be a part of his family, and if anyone disagrees– well. Typhon doesn't appreciate those who go against his word, do they? perhaps. . . they need to be taught a (very violent) lesson?]

Re: [DISQUALIFIED]

[moonlit_knight]

[so the thing is selena is meant to be extremely resistant to specifically this type of brainwashing, which, is absolutely going to be powercapped for this instance, but they're still gonna get their painful side effects even if they get none of the rewards of this power, leaving them with a splitting headache in the soul.

headache kinda doesn't compare to the bullet wound tho]

[cultfavorite]

[Ohhhhh no. No thank you. Saturn sees that number go down to -2, and hears the ringing begin, and he knows what it means. But what can they do about what's coming? There's only one thing he can think of that he can do immediately—]

I'm sorry, everyone—I can't allow Azelf's powers to be used towards these ends—!

[His body begins to flash, suddenly, lighting up and pulsing with beats of light.

Then he throws his arms around Ritsuka, and—

Explodes in a huge crack of light. Not physically exploding. There are no body parts flying everywhere. But his whole body vibrates with a huge release of energy, illuminating the room, and then he and Ritsuka both faint dead away, falling to the ground in a crumpled pile.

Bye, Typhon!]
