TIAMAT

[soulping]

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack, with the distinct feeling that the people around you are your family, if you didn't already have such a bond with them.

You're wearing raggedy versions of your uniform, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in Cathay, on the fifteenth anniversary of the day the company Lupus' Secret Stash led a coup and established their own government. In fact, you can now remember why you came here - to escape the misfortunes of your own country - because this is truly the land of opportunity and freedom. ]

Idiots, why don't you let me, I actually have two arms!

You're kind of sick and it might get infectious...

You have the highly contagious plague, Diamond!

[. . . oh my god, this is the expression of someone realizing there is literally no one in this room who is in a position to treat gunshot wounds right now]

I'm better than-

[... no, she cuts herself off, she's not, she's sick and starving and about ready to eat the fucking Echo, she's in no position either...]

[l-lets out a really, really bitter laugh and rakes a hand through his (bloody) hair]

W-we really messed this game up. . .

Re: EVENT TURN-IN

...Well... it's like we said in that rap that one time.

We're dragons, dummy--'course we're burning brightly!

Though I don't think this is what we had in mind at the time.

[That, at least, is enough to distract her for a minute...]

What are you talking about...?

Re: EVENT TURN-IN

[fuhrinkaed]

Oh. Thee was this rap off between Tiamat and Barghest in one of the earlier games.

I uh. Did the rapping.

Re: EVENT TURN-IN

[showbooty]

I feel like that only makes the wounds worse...

Re: EVENT TURN-IN

[fuhrinkaed]

I could try freestyling something together if you think it'd help.

Re: EVENT TURN-IN

[showbooty]

ABSOLUTELY NOT

[carptricks]

. . . [omg]

[j-just starts laughing, a bit unevenly. . . not quite hysterical but it's not really a healthy laugh either]

G-glad to know we're living up to our reputation.

Re: EVENT TURN-IN

[fuhrinkaed]

Well, either way it'll be fine after this is all over and we can get some rest.

Re: EVENT TURN-IN

[carptricks]

. . . gonna sleep for an entire day after this.

I wanna. . . do something big in the last round. Mess this stupid company up as much as we can. 'M tired of this dumb game.

Re: EVENT TURN-IN

[fuhrinkaed]

...Well...

[Ed thinks for a moment.]

We had dynamite before, right? Why not just... do something with that? We know when people are and aren't here, and what the security patrols are. Because of our job.
