welcome to the mansion

[airlockedmods]

[The Champions wake up not in a bed, but alone on a plush, velvet seat. Some may recognize the backseat of a limousine, while some may not, but the windows are tinted black inside and out, and there's no chauffeur. All are wearing expensive formalwear, no matter what they thought they were wearing before.

The door opens by an unseen hand and reveals a gravel drive with a red carpet and a lavish fountain. Others are already there, and more limousines continue to pull up afterward. The front doors are locked, and overhead curls a large protective glass dome, keeping the cold void of space at bay, but hey, there's also an unparalleled view of the stars.]

Hey there, Champions, welcome to the IGS Fantasy Sweet. I'm PAL, your onboard maintenance system for this location. Your Overseer will arrive shortly. Please be patient.

[Someone totally saw that and is trying not to laugh loud enough to be heard.

It's not working.

Congrats, Rhys, she's gonna be laughing for a while.]

[plugout]

[ no stop ]

It's reeeeeally rude to laugh at someone's misfortune!

[everylittlesecret]

It's called schadenfreude.

[Grinniiiiiiing]

[plugout]

[ He has literally no idea what that word means, but he looks offended. ]

Are you done using made-up words? Because that sounds like a made-up word.

[everylittlesecret]

It's German. It means happiness at the misfortunes of others.

[Whiny. Noted.]

[plugout]

[ but why ]

Okay, so messed up. That's-- that's really messed up. Who does that?

[everylittlesecret]

The Germans.

[why not]

[plugout]

[ :| ]

I literally have no idea why I bothered.

[everylittlesecret]

You're the one who asked. I simply delivered an answer, Seeker of Knowledge.

[plugout]

[ but why ]

Why are you like this?

[everylittlesecret]

Like what? Myself? Am I supposed to be anything but?

[plugout]

I mean, condescending and insulting! To someone you literally just met!

[everylittlesecret]

I'm German. It's what we're known for, and we're still friendlier than the French.

[plugout]

[ He pinches the bridge of his nose. His head still really hurts, and this conversation is making it worse!!! ]

Stay far away from the Germans, got it. [ GRUMBLE. ] This is the worst conversation I've ever had.

[everylittlesecret]

Americans don't seem to be too good at that.

[Going to move in real close.]

Is that a challenge?

[plugout]

[ He waits a moment before pulling his hand away from his face. ]

What? [ He takes a step back. Nope. ] Nooo, no way. I'm not challenging anyone, especially someone I just met!

[everylittlesecret]

Scared a girl can kick your ass?

[plugout]

[ This is OFFENSIVE. ]

What? I-- that's-- pfft, that's-- what? That's ridiculous-- that's--

[ stop talking. ]

I'm perfectly capable of-- of fighting, I just-- look, I don't want to fight anyone!

[everylittlesecret]

[.......]

So I could probably knock you flat on your ass in one good hit. Nice to know.

[plugout]

[ VERY INDIGNANTLY: ] No! It's-- it's for your own good. I don't think you want to get punched by a robot arm.

[ Look at him, Nari. He's a beanpole and a giant nerd. You could definitely kick his ass. ]

[everylittlesecret]

Robot arm? Dude, I thought that was some cosplay prop. Like you're trying to be like a Borg and just really got lazy or something.

[plugout]

Uh, no, this is my arm and it's real. It's just metal. And way strong. And I had it put in years ago, I'm pretty sure I know my own arm.

[everylittlesecret]

....... was it intentional?

[plugout]

Yeah, it was. I wanted it. Along with this.

[ He taps above his ECHOeye.




okay rhys ]

[everylittlesecret]

.... you cut off a perfectly fucking good arm for a piece of metal that can malfunction, poison your blood if it rusts or gets something deadly into its system, or possibly explode. What the ever flying fuck is wrong with you, dude? Like, seriously. What the fuck.

[AND YOUR EYE, TOO?

WTF RHYS

WTF]
