"Time's up!" Rewrite calls out from in front of you. You notice Miles and Ekiduna are on either side of you, baskets also in hand.
You immediately look down at your basket and eye the other two's, trying to judge how many eggs you have in comparison. Miles, the poor thing, his basket is barely full... Meanwhile, Ekiduna definitely has way more than both of you.
You can't help but turn your attention back to Miles. The poor thing, you notice him shivering as his eyes dart from his basket to Rewrite in fear.
You wince, feeling terrible... Especially since you're the reason he dropped his eggs in the first place.
"Welcome back, my distinguished players!" You hear Rewrite greeting everyone enthusiastically.
A sense of urgency fills you. You can do something about this, before Miles gets hurt again. You quickly turn away from Rewrite, trying to act as quickly as possible before they start counting.
"Now, let's see how-"
As Rewrite speaks, you wordlessly place your basket in front of Miles and take his out of his hands. He makes no attempts to resist, but his eyes widen in surprise.
"What are you doing?" Miles whispers softly to you. Before you can respond, another voice interrupts you.
"何それ？" Rewrite calls out, their tone flat. You turn to them, and see that they're standing motionlessly and staring directly at you. Your heart drops. You were hoping they wouldn't say anything. "何だって？What are you doing? The game is over."
"I- Yes, I just... I'm forfeiting my eggs to him." You stammer uneasily, your voice shaking more than you want.
"No you're not." Rewrite corrects you. "You can't do that. That's not how this works."
"You... You haven't counted the eggs y-" You try to argue your case. But Rewrite starts taking several large steps towards you, practically floating towards you.
"The timer ran out, Miles already lost." They declare as they make their way towards you. "You know that. I know that. Miles knows that." At the mention of Miles' name, you steal a glance at him; For some reason, he's still staring at you, his ears pinned back as he shakes in fear.
"You're cheating my game." They accuse as they stop in front of you, too close for comfort. You lean backwards, feeling the aggression radiating off of them. A grin remains plastered on their face, but their movement is stiff and tense.
"I-I didn't mean to!" You insist. "I-I just didn't want you to hurt Miles again," You stutter out to try to explain yourself. They threateningly take another step forward, forcing you to meekly step back.
Rewrite emits an odd, warped noise you don't understand as their head tilts to the side. Their pupils widen and stretch, forming oddly realistic, human-shaped eyes, and their model becomes darker. Their limbs quake, as if barely restraining their rage.
You just reached your final warning.
"You took the soul I needed, and now you're trying to take my fun away from me?" Their tone is flat and robotic. The soul? Do they mean- But you don't have time to think. Their prowl towards you isn't stopping anymore. Every step they take towards you, you're forced to step away. A droning, staticy sound begins to fill your ears. "Are you stupid? 死にたいの？"
You end up stumbling and falling on your back, being forced to scramble away as quickly as possible on your hands and feet to avoid whatever it is they're about to do to you. Out of the corner of your eyes, you barely comprehend Ekiduna and Miles, both simply watching you, as if waiting for something terrible to happen. Rewrite doesn't stop marching towards you with a hunched over, distorted gait.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to- I don't-" You stumble on your words, unable to find anything to save yourself. Your back hits a tree and you lean as far back into it as you can, as if you could disappear into it. You hear your heart pounding in your ears.
Their body floats closer to loom over you, knowing they have you cornered. Their limbs tremble.
"お前を殺したい気持ちを抑えるのが、もう限界だ。" They chant smoothly, yet emotionlessly, to themself. Their words fall worthlessly on you, you can't even understand them. But you have a terrible feeling, they're saying something important that you can't understand.
They stare down at you, and you can do nothing but stare back as you wait for the inevitable.
All you can focus on are their eyes that stare through you.
It feels like an eternity.
And then...
Their voice rings out.
"Remember this mercy."
A basket manifests in their grasp. They place it onto your lap.
And slowly, with slight hesitation, they turn, and walk away.
...
With confusion and horror, you look into the basket.
It's your egg basket. The one you had before you gave it to Miles.
A sign that they have not let you lose their game. They have graciously spared you yet again.
Yet the cutting sound of a scream and sickening crunching makes you flinch. You look up, and see, Rewrite ripping something out of Miles- His heart.
Oh my fucking god I was just trapped in the Hogsmeade Carnival for FOUR FUCKING HOURS unable to tap on literally anything without the game crashing. I only got out when 'new creature tasks' popped up and for whatever reason let me tap on it. I lost FOUR HOURS. If I fail this TLSQ I'm finding Jam City and burning the place to the ground
ummm... yes and no. sometimes I really really fucking miss it and I wish I had someone using me all day every day and I miss the devotion and the obsession of having an owner but... also I don't. I'm having fun taking time to explore my own mind a bit more and to hone in on what I can and can't do.. what works and what doesn't. exploring new people and techniques. It's been fun. I do really fucking want to be dominated and used and played with, but also... lemme chill by myself. but also... fucking take me and force me to comply every day all day but also... nah bro, I just wanna be left alone. but also please please fucking command me and control me and brainwash me and install triggers and use them and also... like... meh.
