Hello Tower.
[The video clicks on, showing a clearly worn out Jade Strider, with a small handful of bleeding scratches and some burn marks on her face, and for once completely lacking her "cool kid" composure. She's breathing heavily and obviously panicked, but compared to John Lalonde it looks like she got off easy-- in the background he can be seen leaning over some pile of debris near two chairs, his face reduced to a bloody and battered mess from an explosion. Both of them seem to have an extra collar on under their colored collars, linked by chains to a strange box on the ceiling of the Library.
When she started talking, it was hurried and rushed, and she sounded like she was about to cry.]
H-Hey-- the fucking bomb just-- blew the fuck up in John's f-face and there's metal and shit in his face and it's all fucked up and we ne--!
[Her sentence was cut short with the sound of a "snap," the chain suddenly retracting on both ends, violently pulling John away from the bomb's remains and Jade away from the computer terminal.
Given the way both of their bodies were now hanging limply from the ceiling, that "snap" wasn't just the sound of the mechanisms.
After a minute or so of that image, someone enters the screen. She looks similar to a popular movie icon, if anyone into horror movies are watching, but just a little more terrifying. She smiles, waving a wooden hand at the camera, before switching the feed off.]
i see the network is working properly again!
good, good. that makes this easier.
i want to play a game, my fellow tower mates.
do you think you can survive any better than these two?
it's a shame they couldn't follow the rules, isn't it?
hee hee hee.
i hope you all are ready.
oh, before i go, if anyone needs candy there's plenty to be found in the library!
i'm sure they won't be needing it.
:)

john stop
because it's totally sane and rational to teach your friends lessons that if they don't do things right you'll kill them!
what sort of lesson would you teach me, then? if i showed up and didn't do as you said?
john you are just asking for a game
perhaps that being so naively optimistic isn't always the best choice!
i know from experience there.
basicallyq
for ANY reason!
no subject
you clearly displayed some stalwart optimism by continuing to insist that there must be some good reason for ones friends abandoning and then killing them.
no subject
clearly this is something you need to work on.

i could say the same thing about rose strider, but i'm completely at a loss as to who she is.
i didn't know i was capable of being so angry and hostile for no reason!
no matter who they are or how close they are to you and the people you know, you never know a person until you actually sit down and try to learn about them.
no subject
but you're also supposed to be the same in reverse, given that you have my last name but you're a rose.
and i can't figure you out.
so maybe you're right in that sense.
either way, believing in my friends or optimism, nothing excuses what you've done.
no subject
after all, what else does one have but their own beliefs in a place like this?
don't worry, john.
because we're friends, i'll go easy on you.
it'll be quick and painless. :)
...congratulations on volunteering to get killed, john.
NOW THE QUESTION IS, DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS?
hee hee hee.
hell yes i do. XD
