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...? |

[Makima might disdain Kira's hedonistic focus on killing, but she doesn't have a lot of faith in their comrades... She feels like arresting the serial killer would end up being her job. Yet again, Makima struggles to balance her ruthless pragmatism with pretending to have any normal hope for the future. Where are the boring police to handle this, like in the obscure movie Angel Dust? She knows her maudlin attitude is almost cliche. "The Woman Who Wanted to Die" (1971) comes to mind as one of many trite examples.]
Power abhors a vacuum. The question is "who will be the next prime minister?", not "will there be one?" I wouldn't be able to operate so much like a human if the control devil had always been "Makima". My accent would be much worse. [So the question really is just whether Makima will survive at all. ...in particles.]
...like their pet executioner. [Some kind of pink. Cat. Thing. Makima quirks her head to the side and imagines this. She does not seem to like it very much.
Makima puts her hand out on the table a bit quicker than any other gesture so far.]
We will share pain, energy, and also budget. Brands are supposed to make our abilities more effective, yes? You can bring my style up to your preferred level. [This is actually the opposite of how it works, as her psych itself is already tied to the "Your Best Friend" brand and Kira's has no brand at all, but. Let her dream.]

If that's your thinking, I can wear your preferred style. The one I have is... Difficult to make trend. It's mostly school uniforms.
[Wanna wear a sailor fuku, Makima? He doesn't think she's in the mood. And he's trying to stay off the hook... It looks like he might not need to bow, if he's convinced her.]

I guess a tiger can change his stripes after all.
[Since "Your Best Friend" has a lot of those striped polos. It's a riff on his belief that his nature could never be changed... Makima isn't sure herself whether losing what they value could change them so radically, but she feels like she's still a devil in the end. Though these aren't exactly like what she knows as contracts, her intuitions about the terms are the same. She puts her hand out again.]
Yoshikage Kira, I will dedicate my body and mind to ensure you are not erased. In return you will do the same on my behalf. Make this pact with me.
no subject
We have a deal.
[Kira shakes her hand, brief and firm. The cat scurries beneath the table as sparkling bright light envelops them, decidedly more angelic than demonic.]
