  1. >Another day in the kaiju den section.
  2. >You walked in to a foreign noise echoing in the room’s sturdy concrete walls.
  3. >Beep.
  4. >A section of her mane flashed brighter for a second as she watched attentively.
  5. >She stuck a tongue out in concentration and lowered a hoof very carefully onto the comparatively tiny disk.
  6. >You had expected a smash, but instead the weight from the edge of the hoof’s rim caused the toy to begin to flip like prey trying to escape as the pressure was placed on it.
  7. >KLUKTHUNK-beep!
  8. >Somehow, she managed to not completely destroy it, touching a panel that lit up and made the same beep as before.
  9. >She moved her hoof back and watched as the device flashed twice on the same panel this time, again, with the same sound effect.
  10. >Beep, beep.
  11. >The same section of her mane flashed in response, once, and a second time.
  12. "Orchid? What are you doing?"
  13. >KTHNK-beep, CLACK-beep.
  14. >"Playing."
  15. "Is that... is that simon?"
  16. >"Mhm."
  17. >Beep, beep, boop.
  18. >She almost didn't give it time to finish, already tenderly trying to press the buttons in the same sequence as her mane strobed in a mimicry of the toy's light show.
  19. >Krik-beep, clunk-beep, CLAK-boop.
  20. >Beep, beep, boop, bop.
  21. >KRAK-beep, CLNK-beep, THUNK-boop, Kr-KRUNK-bop.
  22. >Her concentration was near total, focused and intent on the disc-shaped toy.
  23. >It was something like watching a scrapyard press coming down with the lightness of a regular hand.
  24. "Wow, that's pretty impressive, Orchid. You're really gentle when you try. Keep this up and maybe people would let you touch them some day."
  25. >Suddenly, she almost inhaled her tongue back into her mouth with a wet slurp, lips pursed as her eyes darted to look at you.
  26. >-KRNK-CRACK!
  27. >The toy was utterly flattened beneath the overwhelming pressure of a giant, armored hoof.
  28. >Those fluorescent eyes widened and shifted back down to look at the undoubtedly broken toy.
  29. >Slowly, she lifts her wayward limb to reveal that she has indeed killed simon.
  30. >The neon eyes bounced back and forth with horror between the broken toy and you.
  31. >A slight tint, no, a glow, barely noticeable across her skin, illuminates her cheeks.
  32. >Whether she was blushing, or the effect was just the light shed by her normal kaiju self reflecting back on her, you didn’t quite know.
  33. >She slowly lowered her hoof back down in the awkward silence that followed.
  34. >As soon that hoof touched the twisted wreckage a buzzer sounded in a mocking tone to let players, and indeed everyone in the immediate vicinity, know that they had joined the multitudes of people who had lost to simon and his dreaded game.
