But it’s alive! [/list][/hider][hr][@BlueSky44][@Kirah]: Arcade had summoned Ardere, instructing his sister to remove Andy's corpse. He hadn't wanted it around - it would be for the best if it were destroyed, just as the godling's would be. If Andy suddenly opened her eyes, inheriting some of her mother's dark gift, Arcade did not intend to be around for her to exact her anger on. No, that was what Ardere and Usagi were for. They were disposable. For all intents and purposes, Andy was dead to the world as Ardere dragged her down to the gym's basement, banging Andy's head against each step with a [i]thud-thud-thud[/i]. Usagi was standing guard over Zari - they had the unconscious Asgardian slumped over on a table, a steady IV feeding more and more chemicals into her body. It would be a lethal dose soon enough. "Aww, happy pride!" Usagi snickered, seeing that Zari's girlfriend was the second victim. Ardere rolled her eyes, dropping Andy unceremoniously. "More of them should be dead." "Now now, don't be impatient!" Usagi shook her finger, tsking slightly. "They'll all be dead soon enough!" [@Forsythe]: Vicky will regain control of herself and her functions. [@Blizz]: Leah sees nothing out of the ordinary. [@Patientbean][@Trainerblue192][@Natsu]: Truthfully, Gideon wasn't [i]super[/i] mad about it - she was used to it, at this point, having a near death experience. She had been dying since she was a little kid, when the nuns had tried to murder her along with all the other children. It was boring now, death. Only fighting brought her excitement, brought her a thrill. And as Bowser fell in, the game cheerfully announced their victory - but rather than end, freeing them and letting them back into the real world, the game reloaded. It wasn't Mario this time - and it wasn't a game that Gideon recognized. Others may however. They were in Phasmaphobia, a horror-ghost hunting game. The group spawned into a small van/truck, where a bulletin board gave some details about the case. They were investigating a ghost named Andy Lensherr, and the ghost responded to everyone, even when not alone. On shelves were various tools that they may need - flashlights, salt, crucifixes, a spirit box, EMF detector, etc etc. They all looked like themselves again - Gideon once more wearing her signature sunglasses. And they had a new bar, beyond the hearts for their lives - a [i]sanity reading[/i]. "What the fuck is this - Buzzfeed Unsolved?" Gideon scoffed.

Maybe she was fighting Arcade's control - or maybe it was just a glitch, or just something to trick them into a false sense of security. Either way, she didn't let the shield falter, maintaining the water bubble up around them. It was the only thing that stood between them and death by mud. Her heart was pounding furiously. Her eyes stung with fear and exhaustion. For a split second, she wondered what her parents would say at her funeral. She shoved the thought aside frantically, instead watching as her sister did... [i]something[/i]. The beast before them divided and split into two, before turning into Link - or at least, April [i]assumed[/i] that was Link. One of them was in green, the other dressed in black. [color=42A9FF]"Um, what? Is one of them like... evil? Is this a Star Wars Force Vision type of thing? Or like... the Hot Topic variant?"[/color] she asked nervously, as her sister said something about one being Dark Link and a Water Temple - both things that immediately went over April's head. The Dark Link laughed. "Let's see how you fare against a [i]real[/i] threat," he taunted, before jumping up with his sword, arcing down as he slashed at Vicky - she would manage to dodge just in time. [color=42A9FF]"Wait he talks???"[/color] April then shoved her hand forward, throwing the shield at Dark Link - but she missed, soaking Vicky thoroughly instead, with enough force that one of Vicky's lives was deducted. [color=42A9FF]"Oh shit shit shit sorry!!!!"[/color][hr] Percy nodded at Mads' instructions - the strategy seemed sound, and she was definitely more knowledgable about this game than anyone else. He wanted to live, so he'd have to listen to her and trust her judgment. The other person with decent video game knowledge meanwhile was fixating on how to take a screenshot, seemingly oblivious to the danger that they were in. Percy had to resist the urge to throttle Danni. As they made their way into the next room, traversing through a sphincter that made Percy nauseous, the sound of banging drifted to his ears. There were pods all over the place, veins connecting them to the ground, throbbing like nerves. In the middle of the room were a bunch of people, strapped down and connected to some sort of strange device - and a series of buttons. Nothing had attacked them - yet. [color=ed1c24]"So... What exactly is the goal of this game? Besides being disgusting?"[/color] Percy asked Mads. He then frowned, studying some of the symbols on the control panel - the one that seemed connected to the unconscious people. One of the symbols translated for him - [i]terminate[/i]. Another was - [i]unleash[/i]. The banging continued - only growing louder and louder.
