[it will be so shocking if they somehow manage to avoid getting horny here.
Higekiri will glance about to WWX when Kagachi mentions his injuries though - and laugh?]
I wonder if your pet put a bad curse on you.
[since he’s the most obviously injured of the three???? but Higekiri will just look at the mat in front of them and start to walk toward the West set of footprints]
Higekiri has never played Twister once in his life and has no concept of strategy, so guess who’s just going to go ahead and plant his hand on the closest possible yellow ]
[They can move in turn... but the first limb to be called? Still stuck where they placed it, except in Higekiri's case. He can shift his hand to its new place.]
[Yeah that's fair as hell. Anyway since he can turn, he's going to be shifting so his left foot is on the nearest yellow circle and his back is facing the center of the playing board.]
Who knows! We seem to be doing pretty well, I guess...?
[Or at least none of them have been injured yet or unleashed angry dolls so like. Better than before!!]
[hey quick q why does the spinner hate kagachi and only kagachi]
You've got to be kidding me...
[stop staring at him??
the good news is that even if he's no ballet dancer, kagachi's fairly flexible!
the bad news is that HE HAS A FRACTURED WRIST, YOU JACKASSES. he bends over easily enough, but yeah, pain sure is flaring up his arm now. this is great. why do you all get the easy moves!!]
[The mat releases them, and the spinner above slowly comes to a stop; the speaker is still activated, though, and upon completion they'll hear the same voice as before continue to speak.]

I just hope we get out of here.
[he walks over to the north, before placing his scythe on the floor.]
no subject
[SAID LIGHTLY AND WITH A LAUGH he's seen Bad Curses... He'll take this any day.
Anyway, he glances up at the giant clicky circle overhead curiously, before stepping onto the mat and taking up the south side of footprints.]
We're doing fine so far, aren't we? [To Kagachi. THEY'RE STILL ALIVE IT'S FINE THEY'RE FINE. Then, to Higekiri:] Good luck! I hope you win, too.
no subject
ANYWAY.
Once they've all taken their places... they will find they can't lift their feet from the mat. The voice speaks up again:]
PLAYERS REGISTERED. GAME: START.
[The spinner slows to a stop, and Higekiri will find himself able to move first as it calls:]
WEST PLAYER: LEFT HAND ON YELLOW.
[He'll be able to move, but as soon as he follows those instructions he'll find his hand and feet both stuck again. Pick your positions carefully!]
NORTH PLAYER: LEFT FOOT ON BLUE.
SOUTH PLAYER: RIGHT FOOT ON RED.
[It'll be the same with them-- they can only move on their turn, and they will be stuck to the mat upon completing their assigned movement.
I'm trying so hard to save you guys.]

Is it just like this?
[it seems
so simple (haha)]
no subject
[likewise, kagachi places his left foot on the blue circle at the border.]
no subject
Oh - this one isn't so bad!
[i hope he just cursed them all. Also he's experimentally trying to lift his foot because of course he is, he doesn't like being stuck to the mat??]
no subject
The spinner speaks again:]
TWO ROUNDS REMAINING.
WEST PLAYER: LEFT HAND ON RED.
NORTH PLAYER: LEFT HAND ON YELLOW.
SOUTH PLAYER: LEFT FOOT ON YELLOW.
[They can move in turn... but the first limb to be called? Still stuck where they placed it, except in Higekiri's case. He can shift his hand to its new place.]
no subject
[the twister gods love hige apparently because he’s just going to up and shift and place his left hand down on the closest red!!
they’re trying to keep him out of the mix with kagachi and wwx and that’s honestly valid]
no subject
[kagachi places his left hand on the yellow just diagonal to him, careful not to agitate his probable fracture.]
no subject
Who knows! We seem to be doing pretty well, I guess...?
[Or at least none of them have been injured yet or unleashed angry dolls so like. Better than before!!]
no subject
ONE ROUND REMAINING.
WEST PLAYER: LEFT FOOT RED.
NORTH PLAYER: RIGHT FOOT GREEN.
SOUTH PLAYER: RIGHT HAND BLUE.
no subject
and then puts his left foot down next to his hand
that’s it that’s all he does
he stares at kagachi while he does it]
Good luck!

Ah, looks like the bad luck transferred to you somehow.
