Passage from the story

▶️ Twas burning flesh and the twinkling of dashed hopes round her neck, a gift for the heavens, taken untimely from the feet of its mortal bearers. They were not to know her true blessings, blind to their own skin. If there was ever a moment when the truth was made known, it was not one recognized by eyes, but by a more intangible spirit whose true name conflicted with that of the vessel that carried it.
▶️ Bread, she screamed, bread everywhere!! Bread upon bread, within bread, a new civilization built upon a foundation of bread, lovers, masters, givers, workers, the failings and crimes and hubris of humanity. When will it be enough, the populace demanded! But still she decreed: More bread!
▶️ Little dogs and little frogs make tiny homes in little logs / Tens of tens of miles away, evil forces gather sway / Battleground of mortal toil, twixt this hell and earthly soil / Flaming teeth and flaming swords, when little dogs fought demon hordes.
▶️ Eat faster. Eat harder. Eat higher. Eat louder. Every day for day upon day upon day they ate faster harder higher louder. None would best them, none would out-eat them, no fantasies of grandeur clouded their resolve. They would be eating champions, gods amongst mortals, unbested in competition, a new sun rises upon their immaculate consumption empire. They took third.

Battle begins

▶️ Let's play, everyone. Let's all play.
▶️ Okay, so let me impart a bit of wisdom: Don't die. Just do that, keep doing that, over and over and over until the match is finished.
▶️ And so they rushed eagerly to battle. But all was not what it seemed….
▶️ And yet even as the match began, the end was so much closer than anyone knew…
▶️ Why are we here? What is any of this for? These are the questions no one was asking.

5% chance, players only

▶️ I respect you all regardless of the outcome. But I can't love you. Not after last time…
