End Game

The world is black. And then you blink at your plate.

A portion of your favorite dish greets your eyes, albeit in a form you may never have seen it in before. Encased in a thick, wobbling layer of multi-colored gelatin, the food you know and love now sits suspended in its protein-based enclosure as an eccentric re-imagining of the dish. Furthermore, it only takes a glance to see that the rest of the dining table's spread shares this same theme, as every single dish, sweet or savory, finds itself victim to a jiggling Jell-o jail.

Still, you won't have much time to take this all in before a quiet, high-pitched giggling makes its way to your ears, only crescendoing in volume the longer you sit in this oh-so-familiar dining room. It doesn't take much to find the source of the sound either; unlike the other side, this place is absolutely teeming with fairies to the point where the fluttering of their iridescent wings is clearly audible behind the din of their laughter. As you come to your senses, dozens and dozens of beady eyes watch with their tiny faces stretched out in a wide grin, before speaking in unison.

"Welcome, we can't wait to serve you!"

As the fairies erupt in raucous laughter all around you, at least one more thing is readily apparent: however you met your end, your body is completely whole again. You also have company at the table with you, although whether it's desirable company or not may depend on the circumstances surrounding your death.

In any case, there's nothing stopping anyone from leaving the dining room and roaming freely as usual, and most of the same areas that were available to you on the other side are still present here, albeit with some differences. And though your life may have been stolen from you, it still looks like you have a part in this tale, somehow, someway.

So, will you let your story finish here, or will you write your own ending?

[mearry]

[ it really takes everything in his power to not slash the doll as soon as he sees it. mostly out of fear, but there's definitely some anger in there as well. how disgusting. how vile. terrifying. cruel. cruel. cruel cruel cruel cruel cruel cruel cruel--

but he doesn't.

he'll put the sword away. and use the adder stone on that fake suga. can he see the shining thing any better? ]

[faentasy]

[Look into the life-size doll, C-ta!

Right in the core of it he'll see...a piece of jewelry. One that looks identical to the ones Suga usually makes.

Neat!]

[mearry]

[ well before his blood reaches the boiling point he's going to look LITERALLY FUCKING ELSEWHERE.

more dolls? ]

[faentasy]

[Oh yes, more dolls. Look! Right beside Suga there's Jack Vessalius. Then there's Raven, Morgan, Junko, and if the size of that one between those two is any indication, that must be Pericles.

All of them with buttons instead of eyes, but they're all pretty dang well crafted. Perfect in every way, really!

By logic it's likely the rest of the dolls, still unseen, correspond to everyone else in the graveyard. None of them seem to be for someone alive]

[mearry]

[ .........

fine. he'll try to keep his anger at a normal amount for now. he'll take one of them--let's say raven's. hesitantly, he'll touch it. how does it feel? ]

[faentasy]

[It's an odd texture, C-ta. It feels like a middle point between fabric and flesh. It's unnerving, really. Looks completely realistic in appearance, though!

While he's touching the doll, though, he'll feel such an odd sensation on his fingertips. Want to press on? It'll be alright, no bold warnings]

[mearry]

[ he'll honestly recoil immediately at the sensation for a moment but...

he'll touch it again. this time, the hair. how does...that feel? what happens? ]

[faentasy]

[The hair feels like authentic hair! Perhaps a bit silkier than Raven's hair would feel but eh, that'd be an improvement, no?

The sensation returns while he's touching the hair. Want to press on? Still no bold warnings!]

[mearry]

[ heeeeeeeeeeeee doesn't like this. he can feel his heart racing at a thousand miles per hour.

but.

sure. ]

[faentasy]

[The sensation intensifies until suddenly C-ta's hand sinks into Raven's head. Once it breaks through it's as if something attracts his hand deeper, thankfully stopping a few inches above his elbow.

Will you try to get your arm out, C-ta? When you do, you'll notice Raven's arm moves the same way you move yours.

Tada!]

1/3

[mearry]

[ there's barely so much as a startled noise when c-ta's hand clips through doll!raven's head. he's too in shock to really process what's happening, until he's elbow deep in...whatever the fuck this is. ]

[mearry]

[ obviously, when he pulls out his arm, he has to stare at the doll for a moment before realizing that it's moving just like his..... ]

[mearry]

[ his legs give way, and he hits the ground with a thud, as he screams. ]

[laytorest]

[Hello doll you seem to have wronged my child

Which is to say Yor is throwing an iron needle dagger at its head.]

[faentasy]

[Bam! The dagger goes right into Raven's head, pushing it backwards. Now Raven's doll has a dagger embedded right on his forehead.

Rude.

Thankfully, Raven, who presumably is walking alongside Morgan to return from Bold Warning, doesn't suffer any ill effects. Neither Yor nor C-ta know that, though!

As for C-ta, well, let's just say it's a good thing Yor didn't stab the doll in the arm or else he'd be in serious pain. Thankfully he should still be able to get his arm out of the doll. Raven's doll will continue moving while he does, but he should be able to get it out without any problems]

[mearry]

[ HE'S NOT SURE IF THIS IS BETTER OR WORSE BUT HE IS GETTING THAT ARM OUT OF THE DOLL IMMEDIATELY.

what happens if he steps away after? does the doll only move its arm? ]

[laytorest]

[She'll dash in past C-ta just long enough to retrieve that blade if she can, she spent good crystals on that! She'll shout over her shoulder though:]

Go, go, go!

[IT IS TIME TO LEAVE SHOO SHOO.]

[faentasy]

[Nope! Once C-ta has his arm out the doll doesn't move at all again.

That was something! And that seems to be generally all there's to find in this workshop.]

[mearry]

[ well, with what yor says and with the mod tag confirming, c-ta is going to grab rika and pull her away with him away from this place and back to the corridor. fuck this shit they're OUT. ]

[eternaljune]

[Whoa! Well, Rika's got her stolen items, so time to get the heck out of dodge!!]

What were those things, anyway?

[laytorest]

[Following after and slamming the door shut behind them. She'll bring up the rear.]

We can talk later! Keep moving!

[mearry]

Life-sized dolls!

[ he'll let go of rika if she can keep up with them, but if not she's basically getting dragged. ]

It fucking moved when I did! This fucking thing made dolls out of the dead!

[eternaljune]

What? That's...is that what's going to happen to us?

[She's a little disturbed by that idea, but she manages to run decently once she's got it together.]

Was that...its workshop, then?

[laytorest]

If it is, we need to be extra careful to stay away from it!

[eternaljune]

Hey, I found some--

[Rika turns around just in time to see Yor throw a needle at one of those dolls in the corner. Oh. Ok.]
