The White Elephant in the Room Playground

[Fusion]

The PS3 began to play a tune.

"Motherfucker!" Lee barked. He grabbed the console and threw it in any direction that didn't have people. He didn't even know what that song was but he knew he hated it to hell and back.

"Motherfucker!" Lee barked. He grabbed the console and threw it in any direction that didn't have people. He didn't even know what that song was but he knew he hated it to hell and back.

The PS3 flew forward, disappeared, and slammed into the back of Lee's head before gently floating down to the ground and saying, "Please avoid such foul words. Squirt's parents don't want him repeating such language."

Lee stood with his head lowered from the hit, deathly still. He was going to break that machine. Shatter it into bits and pieces. Destroy it, find it's creator, and kick whoever that was in the shin. Then maybe treat himself to an actual vacation, where the most advanced piece of technology would be a coconut falling from a tree. Onto the smoldering remains of that PS3.

"I'm withdrawing my vote too," said Mia abruptly after a long while lost in thought. "I think she can prove her power."

 

[Namohysip]

Darkwhite looked ready to cry. "Thank you," she squeaked.

 

[Chibi Pika]

Darkwhite's tail drooped and she shook her remote. "How can't I?" she asked. "If someone's sad and they need help but they don't trust me because I look evil of course I'm gonna read their minds. If someone's evil and I wanna see what they're doing of course I'm gonna read their mind to stop them. Sure it doesn't work because they're stronger but... I can at least try!"

Palkia shrugged. "Fair enough! Now then, have you got a question for me?"

 

[Fusion]

His rage subsided for moment, just long enough to hear that the votes were now, actually, in favor of Darkwhite's safety. Lee let out a sigh and flopped onto the couch. "Thank fuck..."

 

[Namohysip]

"Oh!" Darkwhite had forgotten. "Right. Um." She looked Palkia over, trying to think of something she had never done. It was a surprisingly difficult task. God of space, huh? "Never have I ever..." What had she never done? "Oh. Never have I ever accidentally bisected a planet?"

 

[IFBench]

"I-I'm skipping," Gen decided. It was too risky to vote for Darkwhite.

[Chibi Pika]

Palkia rolled its eyes. In the back of its mind, it could hear Dialga's scornful tone. "Yes, well... that was a given, now wasn't it." The dragon shook the wiimote.

Mew could transform, so... "Never have I ever pretended to be someone I'm not," Palkia said with a smirk.

 

[Dragonfree]

It was annoying that there wasn't a better choice. If it wasn't Darkwhite, there wasn't much reason to suspect anyone else, and no real time to figure out who else would be a good candidate.

"...Skip," Mia said.

 

[Namohysip]

"Well, I'm always me," Darkwhite said instantly, but her paw hesitated on its stillness. Her short, short fur bristled invisibly, and then she snorted. "Well, MAYBE I did a prank now and then..." She shook her remote. "Never have I ever... gone to a different planet? Aside from this one. I dunno where this is."

 

[Chibi Pika]

"Haven't the faintest idea where we are either," Palkia said cheerfully. "Seems that you've got the edge on me in this game if you're just going to keep naming space things," it added, shaking the wiimote. "Let's try... never have I ever attended a party with this many guests."

 

[Namohysip]

Darkwhite looked around, frowning. She seemed thoughtful about something, and then looked back at Palkia. "Um..." She looked down. "T-two questions, before I can answer that."

"...What if I'm not sure, like, I don't remember?" she asked.

She fidgeted again.

"And... do I have to be invited?"

 

[Tanuki]

On screen, a tuxed violinist approached their table playing a melancholic melody. A waiter brought a glass of champagne for each of them.

 

[Chibi Pika]

Palkia's eyes lit up. "Intriguing~ No invite needed, I'd say! As for the memory, well... how real does the memory feel to you?"

 

[Namohysip]

She stared into the remote, though she wasn't looking at it in particular. Thoughts known only to her drifted in and out. "...Kinda lonely."

She shook the remote.

 

[Chibi Pika]

The way the game was looking, there wouldn't be enough time left to narrow in on a true suspect. Between the ten potential suspects, Palkia could say that it had no intention of voting for five of them, at least for the time being. Between the remaining five, well... hard to say. But if Palkia's guess of three naughty was correct, that could mean chances as high as 3/5...

There wasn't enough time. Dialga would be oh-so-smug about that, if it were here.

Where was the Rotom? He'd been quite certain they needed to vote someone out, and time was running low...

 

[Namohysip]

"You distracted?" Darkwhite asked. "Okay, I guess I'll try my next one... and this time I won't think of anything with space! Never have I ever..." She looked Palkia over, humming. "...Broke up with someone!"
