[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack

You're wearing raggedy/a regular/fancy versions of your uniform/servant uniforms, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME%, in the year %CONTEMPORARY%+1. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing the results of a recent attempt at revolt in a city in %COUNTRYNAME%: worker’s success at managing a nearby gold mine led to dreams of every man being a king - the revolutionaries may have been successful had it not been for a concurrent jailbreak and mass slaughter putting local authorities on alert, buying time for military intervention - the town was nearly levelled to the ground, with few survivors.

...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh. Don't you remember something about that, actually?

Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

Now . . . what.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forgottenmercy]

Now we know how they're playing. [gentle. with an edge.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

. . . So we play by their rules, then?

Re: DISCUSSION

[forgottenmercy]

It seems they were happy enough to take advantage of our gentleness. [staring at that -24.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

Mmm.

[ faintly, a bit. ]

However you like, then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forgottenmercy]

Would you prefer mercy for them?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

I would prefer whatever the unit would prefer.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forgottenmercy]

I think we are split on that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

[reaching... to help...]

We downvote.

Thank you.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

You can say. If you do not wish to. I am angry, but I will not ignore your desires.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

[ with a shake of his head ]

. . . I am not fond of making martyrs of ourselves.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

...All right.

Re: DISCUSSION

[backstory]

If we play by their rules, we are punishing the other units who are in the same boat as us.

. . . Do we have a chance of recovering after this? With our current score?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

. . . I doubt we'd be able to win.

Re: DISCUSSION

[backstory]

Then my next question is-- is it better to take more hits?

I do not want to see you and or anyone else here hurt more. But I do not want to punish the other units who have played kindly, further.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

. . .

Then, what do you want to do?

Re: DISCUSSION

[backstory]

. . . I am angry.

But neither do I want to downvote.

[ Still making the attempt to recover. He has Dante's jacket now though, for some decency. ]
