SHIFT MEME





WELCOME! There's been a lot of SHIFTing in this round, hasn't there? What if you were SHIFTed into another round, or another version of this round, or even one of the rounds in R7's backstory? Or....maybe somewhere else entirely??

Look no further than here! So sit back, tap into the morphogenetic field, and come on down! Your characters are the next contestants on...on wherever they end up! Oh boy!

1. The Ship of Blood Well, this one is familiar at least! But...who are all these people with you? Is that one of the Spardas? Wait-who's that guy with the fedora? You mean there are timelines where there are more rounds!? BOOOOOOOO! 2. The Home of Happiness and Horror Oh great, you're in Denton, Aka a soundstage where you are forced to kill one another in front of a live worldwide audience. Oh, and said audience gets a vote in who dies. Oh, and in some timelines, you randomly start singing! Or...wear full body costumes. It's weird. 3. ??? The Meme is ever-present. The Meme will not be contained. The multiversal clusters are vast and infinite. Perhaps you SHIFT into a previous game. Perhaps you SHIFT into a game as yet known. Or perhaps it is happening right now. Who knows, now...and what fate awaits you...?

Do I know it? My dear, of course I do! Standard rules, then.

[He gives a light chuckle.]

Or we could play Blackjack instead, given how it is also a Casino staple! ...Though I'd have to remove a deck or two.

[It's fine. He'll play normally, and then...

There's just the slightest tremble as he fidgets with the cards. If the worst comes to pass...well.

There was nothing in the rules against the 'Murder of the self' as a valid option, was there?

But could he risk it? Risk all their lives on a loophole?

...Perhaps if he were the full James Moriarty, he would have been able to. Have gone unabashed and laughing to his death, just like...

...

What was his death, before? It's like there's a hole in his memory.]

If you prefer. We don't have to do anything like either of them, of course, it just seemed.... I don't know, appropriate.

[She smiles at him as she leans forward, chin in her hands, elbows on the table. He's talking too much. His hands are shaking. Her eyes track little details and her expression doesn't change.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

I suppose...though if we wanted to go with appropriate, there is always the old standby of Poker, hm?

[He laughs, again.]

Though there's practically as many variations on the rulesets as there are valid hands, it seems!

[In, out. Practiced patter, chattering on inane details. He's barely even paying attention to what he says, which is why he ultimately slips up.]

Though I suppose it might be a bit on the nose with some of the hand names, hm?

[exequte]

[Another microscopic pause as she studies him for that.]

I guess we could play poker, though we'd probably need some chips for that, right? There have to be some around here somewhere....

That said, I guess you're right. Some of the nicknames they've been given are very funny. A golf bag, for example.
