is your name honkai? cause I'm gonna rail you til you see stars
I'm sorry
it's been only four days since you and your friends got trapped into this world of cruel games, after just yesterday going out with one of them to another game, the other's visa was to expire that night so all of you went out to the next game arena
but only after stepping in and putting on collars, did you guys realize what would happen that night
the game was simple, hide and seek, the wolf would be chosen at random at first, and once you make eye contact with another player the role would be transferred
the "sheep" would have to hide until the wolf finds then to transfer their roles
after 20 minutes the wolf would win, and the sheep lose, which meant...
only one person was leaving this game alive
jingyuan + yanqing
even though yanqing liked to act brave,he was still a child, and he can't lie about how his heart fell the moment he realized it was a hearts game
just yesterday you and yanqing had gone to play a game together, to learn more about this world, and someone there explained to you the concept of the games, spades were physical endurance, clubs are a team battle, in diamonds you had to use your smarts, meanwhile hearts?
games of betrayal, games where you manipulated and played with another person's feelings and trust
the timer slowly ticked away as the three of you stood in silence, save for the heavy breathing of yanqing
you, jingyuan, and yanqing, all three of you did not want to hurt each other, even when staring at the gardening tools in front of you, meant to be used as weapons, you knew you had to pick someone to win the game
you and jingyuan agreed on a winner, but yanqing did not want it
because yanqing is still young, he had the most will to live, yanqing would be the winner
he begged and begged for you guys to look at him, to make eye contact so the role would transfer, but the two of you already accepted your fate
with five minutes on the clock, the sounds of his sobbing declined in volume, leaving only his sniffles as he hugs the two of you close
coated in the both of your blood, yanqing left thy building that night with a fierce look in his eyes, hand tightened onto his sword, he had one purpose
to find the creator of this game, and make them suffer
sampo + natasha
it's only now that you really thought about the meaning of hearts games, as sampo had ran off after making natasha look into his eyes
he didn't want to kill you, he only wanted to live, so if a life or two had to be taken, then he'd be willing to make a sacrifice
natasha held you behind her as an attempt to keep you safe from him, incase he'd jump out of an hiding spot and tried anything
she already knew it wasn't going to be him who left this building tonight, not after that stunt
between you and her? she'd pick you in a heartbeat, it is her duty to protect her friend, and if it meant dying for you, she'd gladly take that
she held a tool in her hand, she was known for being a healer, but she had a destructive side to her aswell, if sampo wasn't willing to cooperate? she's not gonna cry about forcing him
finally finding him hiding in a bush, she strikes, the large tool in her hand made good use in pinning him to the ground by his neck, forcing him to make eye contact with her
just as quickly as she looked in his eyes, she looked to you, transferring the role even as you panicked, trying to get her to look at you
she refused, and even made sure that sampo was unable to look at you, she made her decision already, saying her goodbyes to you
you walked out of that building while shaking, you cannot deny the anger in your chest from sampo's betrayal, and the sadness from natasha's sacrifice, the two different kinds of emotional pain caused your heart to ache painfully as you stumbled your way into a distant building, unknowing of the pair of eyes laid on you from afar...
if you don't know, this is based off of episode three of alice in borderland, wonderful show pls watch it!
will make a pt2 if you guys enjoyed this, honestly tho kind of tempted to write a book inspired by the show but with hsr characters cause i think that'd be fun
