future is now

[ The elevator opens up to a room spacious enough to house the whole unit comfortably, but with no furniture to speak of except a touchscreen podium near the far wall, displaying a row of four larger-than-life mahjong tiles on a red background. On the left side of the screen is a square that says TRADE. The walls and floor of the room are nearly checkered with metal panels, out of place against the rest of the marble flooring and unremarkable off-white walls.

The elevator doors close behind you. ]

Ummm...

[reversecowbird]

Are you alright, dear?

[toodeeptoford]

Strange game.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Looking at the starting hand]

The values go up to 9, but the highest value in this hand is only a 3. Is this a bad hand, or they going easy on the first round?

[negotiatoronsite]

If we're playing to win, this appears to be a weak hand. Or are we playing for good will with the other teams?

[ honest question]

[negotiatoronsite]

...

It would appear this new hand answers some questions.

Who in the hell decided to attack Heart Soldier Senshi?! Twice!
