POISON GAME: pep!pep!

[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 fuck.

slapping cobalt's shoulder. ]

Voting this guy as "not it" for our poison tester. Anyone got any problems with that?

Re: DISCUSSION

[malignstar]

That, my good man, is where the game probably comes in.

Re: DISCUSSION

[heroicsacrifeyes]

Maybe if we just say which one we're sending, they'll work that way?

[WOW I'M MAD? I'M FURIOUS IN A WAY I'VE NEVER BEEN BEFORE.]

No.

[ohhhh god be calm for teammates be calm for teammates]

If this is supposed to be a welcome for us, they're doing a terrible job.

[ hair ruffle ]

Easy there Squeakers. Getting mad isn't going to help anybody.

Re: DISCUSSION

[heroicsacrifeyes]

[BUT RAGE? I FEEL RAGE.

Trying to calm down anyway though h-huff.]

I don't like their idea of a welcome.

Re: DISCUSSION

[malignstar]

I'm good with no. But that means we take the hit when there's only poison on our side.

Re: DISCUSSION

[heroicsacrifeyes]

We don't have to use the poison. We could keep the water and send the antidote. Then there's no poison at all.

Re: DISCUSSION

[malignstar]

Aww, he's giving us special treatment. How sweet.

[sleeplessknight]

Ahh...

Deep breath.

What's your hot take on this, Lyra?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sleeplessknight]

[that gets her to focus a bit, inhaling]

Hah... sorry.

Re: DISCUSSION

[we_meet_again]

[More or less doing the same]

M...maybe if we think this through, we can actually, like... not hurt anybody...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sleeplessknight]

Has anybody bought Energy Recharge yet?

Re: DISCUSSION

[malignstar]

It's fine. We play nice and rely on the good will we've forged over the last few days.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sleeplessknight]

[nods]

We... don't really have much of a choice when it comes to the other units, after all.

Re: DISCUSSION

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ cool, what a fun game ]

Looks like they're breaking us in right off the bat.

Re: DISCUSSION

[we_meet_again]

Maybe you should have waited one more day before coming back.

Re: DISCUSSION

[neverbeentogeorgia]

What, and miss this fun little jamboree? Naw. Think I'll pass on another day in the rain. 'Sides, if I get poisoned, at least I won't have a head cold anymore.
