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. ]

[ ... jesus ]

You don't think Whisky would protect you? [ his voice indicates he also doesn't think whisky would protect ANYONE but. lucifel should have faith in him shouldn't he.... ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

It isn't that I think so, it is that we mutually agreed not to . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[bevoted]

...... of fucking course you both did.

[ god. he just wants to tear his hair out over this. ]

Well fine, so we have Wild City and ZRAEL to worry about now.

[ tilts his head ]

. . . I thought that would be better. Because, then you wouldn't have to be concerned with protecting someone you hate.

Re: DISCUSSION

If you both are going to be in love then you should protect each other! Isn't that obvious!?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

Let us assume then, that I would have such a bias. What should I do here? I would be arguing with you now about how we could not target them, right? And then again, and again, and every other time after that - is this not something that would only cause grief in the end?

Besides - it isn't as if either of us mind.

Did I ever say I was going to target them here, Luci? [ shoots back sounding Honestly Insulted ]

I hate Whisky. I hate that Haruto guy too, but I'm not going to force you to hurt someone you love just because I hate them!

I know I'm an idiot. I can't protect everyone I love. I can't even protect Yasuragi the way I want to. But I can at least protect you, and if part of that is protecting-- or at least not hitting, [ maybe he's not at the point where he can actively protect wild... city... just yet... ] the person you love.

... unless he ever does something to hurt you. Then I'll kill him. [ then all bets are off the table and Whisky can just choke on poison and die ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

. . . Mm, I know that much is a given. I would do the same.

[ he pauses then, frowning ]

. . . It isn't as if you are this time but you have suggested them in the past. . .

[ a little indignant ]

Because - that sort of thing is protecting us, too. If we need to hit WILD CITY, then I have no qualms - especially in a game like this, where they would most assuredly protect themselves.

[ more mumbled, now ]

We had already agreed upon such a thing - I thought . . . I thought that would be easier . . .

[ and then, there's a pause as he tacks on like an afterthought ]

. . . Besides, at least two other members of that unit hate me, so . . .

[bevoted]

I suggested them before you said you were in love with Whisky. [ shoots back immediately, aggravated, before-- ]

... wait. What? Why do they hate you?

[sancrimony]

. . .

[ ;;;;; ]

I . . . in the house, I . . . killed one of them. . . .
