[Clover was already having a bad day. She wound up being an unwilling participant of yet another nonary game. Same ship, same puzzles, same... same everything! The only thing that changed were the people and as if that wasn't bad enough already, her older brother was missing.

It was more than a little surprising when she opened her eyes to find herself in a place that looked nothing like the ship she was supposed to be in. Not to mention now there was some guy in here with her saying something about... wait what?]

... W-what? What are you... Who are you? Where is this?

[...Huh. Dio blinks, baffled. What the fuck...?]

Y-You're joking, right? C'mon, snap out of it, Clover, it's me!

[Clover looks nothing but confused. No, that's not true. There's a bit of panic in her eyes, too.]

I'm not joking! How do you... how do you know me?

[Before Dio can even say the word "bullshit," a high, synthetic voice blares over the loudspeaker.]

TWENTY. SECONDS. REMAIN. UNTIL. AMBIDEX GAME POLLING. CLOSES.

[And he quickly realizes that time is not on their side.]

Oh, you've gotta be fucking kidding me!

Twenty seconds until what? What's going on? Hey! Answer me!

[Arrrrrgh, shit! She picked a bad fucking time for a senior moment! Is this for real...?

Think, Dio, think! There's no way you'll be able to explain everything to her in less than twenty seconds, so...]

Look, you're gonna have to trust me, all right? So do exactly what I say and we'll make it out of here alive. All right?

[it's then that Clover's eyes settle on the bracelet around Dio's wrist. She still has no idea who he is, how he knows her or where she is, but what she does know is that they're both stuck in the same situation and it wasn't a good one. The telltale beeping of her bracelet is mysteriously absent, but she has no reason to believe he's lying. Clover puts a shaky hand up to her mouth and nods once.

Alright, Dio. She'll listen. ]

See that screen over there?

[He gestures to the Voting Machine, two buttons hanging at the center of a wide screen. "Ally" and "Betray."]

If we wanna survive this round, then we have to pick "Betray." If we don't...

[He trails off. Undoubtedly, Clover can assume that there will be consequences.]

TEN. SECONDS. REMAIN...

You with me?

[Ally? Betray? Who were they supposed to be allying with or... betraying as the case may be? What was going to happen to them?

If the tone of Dio's voice wasn't enough ton convince her, the imminent countdown was. She didn't know what was going to happen once it reached zero and she didn't want to find out. She saw with her own eyes what happened to the 9th man. ]

Yeah. Yeah I'm with you, but you owe me an explanation!

[He has to keep himself from smirking. This was just too easy. Sorry, Clover. But don't worry. Surely Alice is the forgiving type, right?]

It's the only way! Trust me. If we don't, then they---

Five...

Well, what are you waiting for?! Hit the goddamn button!

[Dio if she had any idea who you were or what was going on she would've laughed in your face and hit that ally button so fast it would've made your head spin.

But she doesn't know you and she doesn't know what's going on.]

Four...

[What she does know is that she's still wearing a bracelet, a synthetic voice was counting down to something and all she had to go on was his word.]

Three...

[She walks over to the machine, one hand pulled up against her chest while the other hovered precariously over the buttons. Should she really listen to this guy? She should really do what he's telling her to do?]

Two...

[Ally or betray?]

One...

[Clover squeezes her eyes shut and her hand slams down on the "betray" button.]

There.

[She looks down at the screen.

Vote has been recorded.
Please wait.]

[She did it. She picked betray.

Dio lets out a heavy (if not overdramatic) sigh of relief, his shoulders dropping into a more relaxed stance as he offers her a winning smile.]

Looks like you just saved our skins. [My skin. He laughs to himself] I guess that's why they call you "Clover," right?

[His eyes linger on the pink tattoo on her cheek before meeting hers.]

You really are good luck. Thanks.
