avante en garde

[idolpro]

[ Minus your missing unitmate, you emerge in this room. There's enough room for your whole team to crowd into a booth, and discuss and speculate on your missing unitmate's predicament. After all, the rules displaying on your phone has just informed you that it's up to you to figure out what happened to them, and their fate hangs in the balance of just how well you can figure it out in time.

A little hourglass in the center of the table informs you of each ten minutes that passes. It sits next to a "menu"-- a list of 36 possible terrible things, three of which are happening to your unitmate, right now. ]

[TRYING TO BE CALM AND SOOTHING]

Hey Kestrel, we're gonna try and figure out how t'help you. Try and help us see what you're seeing, baby bird.

How many sharp things are there?

[Wow, what a sap.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[deicider]

[Looks up form reading the rules.]

We should start by eliminating the worst ones.

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

There's a lot of worst ones... Maybe we can narrow down the choices, ask about categories, or something.

Re: DISCUSSION

[deicider]

[Looking over the menu, thoughtful.]

Maybe... is it heavy, is it hot, is it sharp...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

Does it hurt? Does it involve a blade? ...Is it physical?

Re: DISCUSSION

[deicider]

I think the first and the third one are too vague. We still need an over-all question...

We'll have to think like Kestrel.

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

That is saying a lot about all of our mental faculties.

Either way, with 30-some versions, we gotta be a little vague--split into categories and drill down to find out what it isn't. There's a difference between starving or being caught in a cage or having a whatever disease and having your head cut off--I figure we try and get that part sorted first.

Re: DISCUSSION

[deicider]

Yeah, but this is Kestrel. She... categorizes broadly in the first place.

I think "is it sharp" will knock the most things out.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Sorry, how can anyone concentrate in this freaky-ass room they're in?]

So... if we can't get all three, at least we can stave off the worst of it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[deicider]

[You just have to be Cardinal.]

Right. But if if we don't burn questions, we can get the list down pretty far. Is it sharp, is it an animal...

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

If Kestrel sees an animal, I bet she'd think it's a cute friend comin' to play with her...

Re: DISCUSSION

[deicider]

That's fine, as long as she knows it's an animal.

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

Who's missing?

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

I thought Kestrel was here with us...

Re: DISCUSSION

[claestrophe]

[ kestrel was definitely with you in the lobby and the elevator!


but now... she's nowhere to be seen. spooky. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

[Looking around...uh-oh]

So...she's gonna give us some dream visions...or something?

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

...

I am now terrified of what kinda dream visions would come outta that girl's brain.

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

Yeah... I'd think you'd have more of an idea than we did, though...
