POISON GAME: sensitIV

[idolpro]

[ The room is plain, white walls and white ceiling, except for the steel-panel flooring. There are three metal stands rising out of openings in the floor, each of which carries a glass vial on top. One of them just holds water. Of the remaining two, one contains a pale pink, opaque liquid with a creamy consistency; the next is tinged barely yellow like a weak tea, and would be almost completely transparent but for the pulp and fibers mixed in, drifting through it.

Both have flowers floated across the surface: the first a tiny sprinkling of cherry blossom petals; the second a small, but whole, bloomed lotus. They're cute and smell nice. ]

We worried 'bout the unit that tried to ice Lucy now? Fuckin' news to me.

Re: DISCUSSION

I would prefer that no one be harmed. Regardless of their affiliation.

If we send poison, and someone else does so as well, one antidote will likely be insufficient. Therefore, we may as well have poisoned someone who kept water.

Who! Cares! They love to do murders, they're gonna keep doing murders, you know what happens to murderers?! They get murdered! Why's keepin' people who give the opposite of a shit of our wellbeing more important than protectin' ourselves? Why the fuck do I care more about you than y'all care about yourselves?

Re: DISCUSSION

[mycaringheart]

...It's not that I want to protect them, specifically.

[he's going to just sort of unconsciously close inward, don't mind him]

I just see no reason why I should want to harm them. Lucifel is fine now. If this is supposed to be vengeance, then there's little point to it.

[come back when their existence is like, actively a threat to the world or something]

And if there's no reason to wish them harm, then I do not wish to harm them. That's... all it is.

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

[ just like, snarls in frustration ]

It's not vengeance! It's protectin' us by hittin' someone who has shown they don't care about hurtin' anyone, especially us! It's called self-preservation, you fuckin' walnut!

Re: DISCUSSION

[mycaringheart]

[flinches, a little...]

...Do you believe that we will be a target, then?

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

There's a chance, even if it's small.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mycaringheart]

[and that small chance is worth the risk of causing another unit harm, to you]

...I see.

[he doesn't, not really...]

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

Really?

[ that was easy??? ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[mycaringheart]

There's nothing I can say that will change your mind. And my wishes to not harm the other units... they're foolish, aren't they. With everyone taking up arms against each other even outside of the worse games.

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

Idealism ain't foolish. It's just that there's a time an' a place.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mycaringheart]

[...I'll bookmark this one for later too.]

I fear that if these past days are any indication, a proper time and place may never come, at this rate.

Re: DISCUSSION

[artificialinelegance]

Hey, don't be like that. A lotta people are tryin' to work for it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mycaringheart]

You would argue that we should return harm to those who harmed us. What's to stop them, then, from continuing the cycle?
