WHO: Everybody
WHEN: Day 78, Post Game.
WHERE: @ Fallout Shelter ( for the winners ) & south of Twilight Lake, 6ft under ( for the losers )

WHAT:

[ Team ❤️ ( Jill, Ciaccona, Megumi, Monika ) & Team ♦️ ( Lyney, Mydei, Kaveh, Ratio ) & Team ♣️ ( Diluc, Jing Yuan, Lahabrea, Vil ) will all come to in a claustrophobic coffin six feet underground in the field that all of this craziness started in. you're still suffering from the hallucinations, paranoia, & honesty! which should definitely be a good time for somebody trapped in a wooden box. as for the necrosis, well, that seems to have taken care of itself... but once you're able to move and inspect yourself some more you'll find that you've got shrapnel from the collapsing bunker lodged in you. nothing fatal, but it's definitely painful and very likely bleeding. it can *only* be removed *with help*. you can't remove the pieces on your own. ]

[ Team ♠️ ( Brant, Aventurine, Castorice, Jayce ) & EVERYBODY ELSE will get a text message once the game ends with the coordinates of the woods that your friends are currently buried in. a follow-up simply says bring a shovel. this is probably confusing to those who didn't participate, but they'll find out what's what soon enough. ]

[ robin is not built for manual labor, but she's here and with a shovel of her own, ...doing a pretty bad job of digging. her head wings are flapping each time she lifts the dirt filled spade out of the ground, as if they could give her the strength to lift it. ] Come on... [ she's built for buffing! not, not this. ] Can't give up. Can't give up.

[quickquips]

[suddenly there was a pair of hands grabbing for the length of the shovel, helping to hoist it up and do away with the dirt.]

I gotcha, Angel!

[odetoanightingale]

[ once a literal weight has been lifted off her shoulders she expels a sigh, ] Thank you. [ she smiles at leon. ] Angel, oh, I... [ her cheeks go red as her wings fold in front of her face. ] I'm afraid I'm no angel.

[quickquips]

[Honestly, the way her wings fold and she goes red, Leon thought it was pretty cute.]

You’re helping people, that’s already something an angel would do. Besides- the wings kinda make you look that way.

[Leon was now taking the shovel away from her.]

Lemme do this- is someone down there?

[odetoanightingale]

I'm Halovian, which... I suppose isn't too far off. And there was a bad game, apparently. And the losers always face some sort of punishment. I want to help. Did you get a text about bringing a shovel to this location too? [ he lets him have it. ] I'm not sure... I hear muffled sounds from beneath the soil. If not here, then close by.

[quickquips]

[Megumi explained a little bit about this before, games and such... still- shit sucked.]

Again with the sick games in this place, huh?

[Leon just went back to digging.] Yep- got the text and ran here. Good thing I showed up... you're not really meant for diggin', huh? Don't worry, you be my guide and I'll dig enough for both of us.

[odetoanightingale]

…mhm, this is unfortunately the norm.

Not exactly. I’m a performer. A singer, actually. I haven’t really ever had to perform much manual labor. But I would have done my best had you not come to help me. [ so the least she can do is help him. she summons her microphone and sings a little tune, music manifesting around them and giving leon a significant boost to his strength. ]

[quickquips]

[Leon felt that burst of strength, and he just blinked back at her and her microphone.]

Whoa! You’re an amazing singer!

[odetoanightingale]

Thank you. I pride myself on being able to spread happiness through music.

[quickquips]

I think my muscles are pretty happy with your music.

[since, you know, he got a buff. Leon went back to digging and the dirt seemed to be much lighter for him!]

You're not joking around! Maybe I gotta take you on one of my special missions, if I ever need backup.

[like, killing zombies.]

[odetoanightingale]

Tell your muscles I said your welcome ♥!

If you do ever need some back-up... I wouldn't mind coming along. Some things here can get pretty dangerous. We might have a healer team, and a few folks that can treat wounds, but sometimes we find ourselves in need of some medical supplies and, well, the hospital is a fairly dangerous place.

[quickquips]

Keep talkin' like that, and maybe I'll even let you get a feel of 'em. I won't even charge you.

[He smiled over at her, something that was rare to him these days, and he then went back to digging as she talked.]

Yeah- I wanna find myself some weapons and head over there, I wanna see what kinda zombies are here.

[odetoanightingale]

[ robin hums for a moment, ] ...well, who says it has to be free of charge? [ she quirks her head, digging into her satchel for a small sticker sheet that pride gave her. as she removes one she leans over to quickly peck leon's cheek. robin leaves a strawberry sticker in wake of the kiss, trying to keep her blush in cheek as she says, ] How about now? since you're as sweet as a strawberry?

[ sorry leon. she can't even comment on the zombie thing now. ]

[flamestrider]

[ She frowns before running over to help Robin too. ]

Did you hear someone down there, or are you just frantically digging up anywhere the ground is still undisturbed?

[odetoanightingale]

I could have sworn I heard someone! but... the cries for help are coming from all over. If you'd like, since I'm borderline useless, I can buff you so you can help more easily.

[flamestrider]

You are far from useless just by being here with your kind disposition, though I'm not sure how many bodies are left in the ground. Did you know anyone that was taken into the game?

[odetoanightingale]

[ her cheeks color a light shade of pink, but she manages to avoid getting too embarrassed at the compliment. ] ...that's going to make it difficult to know if we've got everybody. Maybe we can ask somebody that attended how many others were there, or we can send out a quick text and see who does and doesn't respond, although... [ people could have also just vanished. ] Sunday was at home with me, so we were safe, but other than that... I'm not sure. [ she was home all morning. ]

What about you, ...do you know if some of your friends were there? [ in the meantime she's going to buff mavuika. enjoy the boost, girly. ]

[flamestrider]

I think at least one of the lovers from Mondstadt was there, but I saw them head off in the opposite direction. Lahabrea looked worse for the wear, but he's out of his coffin already.

...I wonder if Jayce was pulled in. He's got bad luck with these games, but I think he tends to fair better when I'm not on his team.

[odetoanightingale]

...then it sounds like we have a lot of work ahead of us. I don't mind helping until we're sure that everybody is out of the ground. And we might need to see about doing something else to calm the nerves of those who were at the game, since getting them out of the ground is likely only going to be the first step...

There are always consequences to follow a loss.

And sometimes a win. [ aka guilt. ]

[flamestrider]

Maybe something to get everyone's mind off it...like a barbecue? I'd have to hunt a good amount of meat, but I'm always up for the challenge. We can throw in some fish too if the Fontainians aren't too busy to help.

[odetoanightingale]

… [ she taps her cheek and then nods, cracking a smile. ] A BBQ might be nice. If the lake is safe, then we could host it on the shore, so we can all enjoy the summer weather. [ and swim, basically. ] I know the Recreation Center has a pool, but I think most of us would much rather be outside.

Maybe it could be, oh, what’s it called, a pot luck!, and everybody could bring a little something… that way the burden doesn’t rest on any one specific person’s shoulders.

[flamestrider]

It couldn't hurt to send out an invite and see what people cook up. I'll do my own part. I just need help getting the word out when we're ready for it to happen. I have to also see about finding a safe spot in the lake people could swim in.

[ Nothing like a shark and/or crocogator attack to ruin a good barbecue... ]

[odetoanightingale]

...it doesn't have to be at the lake, especially if you don't think that's feasible. And, yeah, we can send out a text and see what people think of the idea. I have no problems doing that as long as you back me up!

[flamestrider]

I'm always here for you, no worries about that. Besides, I'd never turn down an opportunity to hunt and fight a new type of beast. They may be big, but my flamestrider can scathe their back while rolling across them.

[odetoanightingale]

[ she folds her wings around her face. ] You'd even fight them in their own territory with your bike? It can... run on water?
