[ Zhongli is SOOOOO good at grabbing Lucas! (I got a 2.)

He yanks Lucas back and gets more bullet spray to the gut for it, point blank. The bullets don't pierce through him, but his skin tears enough to start bleeding through his clothes.

He still manages to headbutt Lucas and it fully knocks him out. What is this completely varying level of injury tolerance people have here. Don't worry about it.

Lucas is now unconscious on the stage!

Now what!! ]

[ wow, really hope these injuries don't get worse when we leave the blue archive world!

zhongli just kind of sits there for a moment, recovering from the onslaught of bullets and getting hit in the face. still holding onto lucas' ankle, in case their battle waif wakes up again. can he look around at the stage area? is there a projector, or are the others just on display on their respective stages without any physical means of it being done? ]

[ Haha!!! What!!! No........... Why would they get worse............

There is a projector, up on a tall stand to the back of the seating. ]

[ :pikaphone:............

cool. what's going on on the screens at the moment? is it just him and lucas, here, or is the announcer in the audience for him? ]

[ Zhongli does not have an announcer any longer.

On the screens he sees: an endless recursion of Akihiko watching them on the projector too. Projections of projections of projections. Then it changes. He sees Ali shoot the announcer before returning to the 'normal' daytime ship. Then it changes. He sees Laurence and Iris just kind of. Arguing. ]

... well, my friend. I think it's time that we find a way out of this so that we might get back to where we're meant to be.

[ lucas is unconscious, but that's fine. he eases himself upright, taking one of lucas' arms and pulling him up, up, over his shoulders into a fireman carry so that he'll be able to more freely use his guns if need be.

one of them he takes and aims at the projector, firing a round at it to see if it does anything. ]

[ Zhongli shoots the projector, and the "movie" on the screen comes to a sudden stop.

The sound fizzles out, and then slowly, so does the night. Lucas disappears with the scene change as the daytime ship coalesces around you again.

You are standing, bloody but ignored, in the hustle and bustle of so many teenage girls. You may reunite with Ali and The Idol. ]
