[Endgame: rise or DROWN]

[warpweft]

[How long have you been exploring Nessa's palace now? You've met her family, viewed her memories, learned how to fight as a witch and tried to find the source of her power and the Treasure of her palace: the Voidheart. And along the way, you've tired your best, with mixed success, to avoid the incarnation of her eldest cousin and the representation of her trauma and fear, the Nightmare of Esmau.]

[Wherever you are in the Palace right now, you feel the ground briefly shake under your feet. Little shakes here and there haven't been out of the ordinary - Esmau is trying to blow the place down to the studs, after all. But that felt different. That felt....worse.]

[Your phone beeps as you receive a message.]

*Ahem!* This fight is now claimed by Junko Enoshima.

Bow down, peasants! Your Queen has arrived!!

[velluminous]

Pardon...

[cosplayed_out]

Oh, sorry. Are you taking me seriously? That's cute.

[her tone is scathing]

You got some master plan of your own?

[velluminous]

[ oh, she doesn't like that. but she can speculate, at least, that this has to be Tsumugi in another role ]

I like your first one. Tearing her face off!

[cosplayed_out]

[and there's a happy Junko face.]

Thaaaa~aaat's the spirit! Let out that inner despair for the whole world to see!

[cosplayed_out]

Is that all? Silence? It will be quite the insult if you do not properly welcome Our presence!!

[messianic]

[ a... weak thumbs up? ]

Glad to have you here.

[cosplayed_out]

Wow. Now that's a first.

[monotone]

I'm so happy, Minato. I may weep openly.

[casual slip to an admiral costume]

What's the matter, sailor? Problem with rightful authority figures?

[survivaltricks]

Mmmyep, though I wouldn't say that's the problem, here.

[cosplayed_out]

Wow. Harsh. I guess I am in despair.

[survivaltricks]

[a short laugh, half-amused half-still bewildered]

Somehow, I think you'll be okay.

[cosplayed_out]

I'll be okay the faster this bitch gets fuckin' curb stomped!

[survivaltricks]

[okay, that draws a genuine laugh out of him]

You and me both. . .!

[voidhearts]

Oh!

You're back!

I was wondering where you'd gone after we talked on the phone!

[... ...okay so somebody hasn't figured out the cosplay yet.]

[cosplayed_out]

Wow... and you totally didn't care enough to look for me.

I am so in despair right now.

[voidhearts]

I - I'm sorry!

We've just been really busy trying to stop the palace from being destroyed!
