(dusting this muse off)

[flowershrine]

Shall we return to the game once more, Mun-sama?

[ace_defective]

I wouldn't get excited until you find out what game it is, first. Some of them are pretty freaky.

[flowershrine]

Most games are, to someone.

[She gives a simple smile, one that looks gentle and feels blank.]

[knight_king]

Do you have freedom to choose, my lady?

[flowershrine]

Ah, are you a Prince like Utena-sama?

[knightof]

[He can't tell if she's worried or excited or...anything, which is a little unsettling.]

Again? You've been put through this before?

[flowershrine]

I've played many games. None with Mun-sama, though.

Are you familiar with how this goes?

[exaltation]

Himemiya! I haven't seen you in forever. [as in any version of you.]

[flowershrine]

Utena-sama! You look well. [Better than most who greet her at any rate.]

1/2

[thevillainishere]

Isn't it amazing? There are so many games out there. So full of people. So many new faces to meet.

2/2

[thevillainishere]

So many people who would never think they're going to die.

[prisedefer]

...Anthy. Games weren't meant to be played alone.

[flowershrine]

Oh, of course not Oniisama. Though finding someone to play with is always some trouble.

[throatstab]

This maiden fair, a wizard in the kitchen and bearer of swords that can pierce the heart. Surely this must be the avatar of Lady Uggalipeh herself!

Here, have a little green critter bowing before you.

[flowershrine]

[Anthy returns the bow, smiling]

Hello there. Are you one of Chu-Chu's friends?

[tsugi]

[Oh, it's you.]

Rose Bride.

What sort of game would interest someone like you?

[flowershrine]

Whatever game would interest Mun-sama, of course.

[bloody_high_claw]

My my... and just what sort of games would interest one as fair as yourself~?

[flowershrine]

Very many, but I warn you, I am not fair.

[wildanimal]

Games get dull, don't they? They're all the same after a while.

[flowershrine]

Sometimes. Then again, the rules change occasionally.

[picturelock]

[Oh, the person Tenjou usually hangs out with.]

Well, I suppose being in a game changes the pace for a while.

[flowershrine]

[Juri's target then.]

Ah. Takatsuki-sempai, right?

[star_of_darkness]

[A vast and expansive darkness that is blacker then the darkest of nights and filled with unearthly lights that are not lights raises up before her. It's has a presence that is similar to the Million Swords of Hate but only this time with a single active intelligence behind it. It speaks with the voice of earthquake.]

And just what kind of games would the Immortal Witch, The Rose Bride play? Games to continue earning the hatred of the world? Games that played with the naive and weak-heated, to dance as puppets on strings for you in pursuit of foolish dreams and miracles that will never come true? Games in which you deceive the noble and the true and in the end, break and betray them at you're brother's behalf...

[flowershrine]

Even I wasn't that good of a player. I didn't break her and you won't break me.

[Metal squeals in her mind and in her chest and all she can feel is the slip of fingers out of her grasp]

She's free and so am I.

[incousinswithyou]

Bored, are we?

[flowershrine]

A bit, perhaps. Waiting on Mun-sama to figure out if they're trading me one coffin for another.
