SHOWMASTER HEART GAME (SUNDAY)(MORNING)

[showmaster]

A familiar voice can be heard above you, you're not sure if they're talking to you or not but it does feel like you're part of this conversation:

"What a Wonderful Story that you have. I've read it many times when I was feeling sad. You know, I wanted to keep it in my personal collection, but it doesn't seem that's going to be possible. To grant my wish, I'd have to sacrifice what it means to be a reader ... to become the story. That's The End that I'm looking for.

THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[ticketmaster]

You find yourself in the familiar hall of the elevators, but it’s somewhat different than what you might remember. It's still clean, the potted plants are still there, the bright fluorescent lights are still there. There's even a trash can if you have trash you need to throw away.

However, what you do notice is that the doors you walked through are behind you, but they look like regular double doors. There's also an emergency exit.

And instead of a row of elevators, there are only three and each one has a unique label:

The first one is [blank].

The second one is labeled “DEAREST”.

The third one is labeled “TICKETMASTER”.

If you need to access anywhere else, you have to go through the elevators, but you're not sure where they will take you.

does the emergency exit have a window]

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[ticketmaster]

[Yes! If you peek through it, you see a staircase that goes down. It does look like any exit that you see in a hotel or similar fashion.]

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[1797]

[the fact it goes down instead of up tho

can he open the door without going through it... temptation real]

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[ticketmaster]

[You can! Once you open it, you hear the sounds of... a casino! Or at least the slot machines and jackpot music playing below you.]

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[1797]

[...]

You have to be kidding me.

[not a(nother) casino.........





ok this is stupid but he wants to open each of the elevators without actually getting on]

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[showmaster]

[When he opens the first one, he'll see a little girl that looks like the Ticketmaster. She waves as the door closes on her again.

When he opens the second one, he'll see a Ticketmaster who stares at him, a figure that seems quite powerful and knows how powerful they are. They don't respond or move as the door closes on her again.

When the third one opens, he'll see a Ticketmaster who seems much like the one he met at the start of this. "Good day." She says as the door closes, and she gives a smile.]

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[1797]

[WELL... awkwardly waves back to the little girl and the present-day ticketmaster

he wasn't expecting the elevators to be quite that literal???

contemplates the doors, but chooses the emergency exit after all, what a surprise]

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[ticketmaster]

[As he starts to walk down, the stairs go on...and on...and on....

If you look back up, you'll notice that all you can see are stairs and all that is below you is stairs. The sound of the slots machine is getting closer, but it seems like you need a bit of determination and will to get where you need to go.

Do you press forward?]

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[1797]

[what kind of question is that— (yes)

he swaps into joker guise and summons arsène... who he is going to use smash bros style to skip the stairs if he can. he is vaulting right over that rail.]

cw gore, bone break mention

[ticketmaster]

[And so he falls.

And he falls.

And he falls.

And for a moment, he can imagine it vividly, his body crushing against the hard surface of the floor, bones breaking, one by one, blood vessels popping-

But when he wakes up, he's standing in front of a door.

At the top, there is a label. It is named ZOE.]

Re: cw gore, bone break mention

[1797]

[haha yikes

takes a minute to lean hard against the wall before he compartmentalizes enough to look at the door

is it just the door btw]

Re: cw gore, bone break mention

[showmaster]

[It's a cool normal door with a regular doorknob. No crushing here! And nothing else.]

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[taking_pains]

[He turns around to look back the way he came -- presses against the double doors, careful, to see if they'll let him go back out again]

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[showmaster]

[When he pushes the doors, he'll see that it DOES not go back to the train but instead a subway tunnel.]

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[taking_pains]

[Hmm]

[He pokes his head into the emergency exit, just to see]

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[ticketmaster]

[Inside it's just a regular staircase that goes down. If he listens, he can hear the sound of slot machines and a casino coming from down below.]

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[taking_pains]

[He checks his ticket again -- closes the door]

[Approaches the elevator labeled TICKETMASTER and presses the button]

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[ticketmaster]

[When the doors open, the Ticketmaster is standing there, smiling at you.]

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[taking_pains]

-- ah.

Hello.

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[ticketmaster]

Hello. Will you be coming in?

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[taking_pains]

I've got a ticket.
