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. ]

[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.

[reaches for her hand]

I don't think they were trying to make a good impression.

[Takes it, squeezing her hand.]

No, I doubt that's what the cheers are for.

I don't want us to start out by poisoning anyone.

...


I don't have any useful abilities yet, so I'm okay with drinking the poison we keep. That... still won't account for any other poison we might end up with, but...

Re: DISCUSSION

[heroicsacrifeyes]

We don't have to keep poison! The rules said, we can drink one vial, and send another to another unit, and the third gets removed from play. So if we choose to drink the water, we can send the antidote.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sleeplessknight]

Will it really get removed from play...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[heroicsacrifeyes]

[Squeezes her hand]

They said those were the rules. If not...

Then we'll deal with that.

[She already has the revival power it's fine.]

[SHE BOUGHT IT BUT IT HER PURCHASE HASN'T GONE THROUGH WHY MUST TECHNOLOGY BETRAY US LIKE THIS

squeezes her hand back and nods]

Okay... I don't.... I don't mind giving up our chances to win if it means not hurting anybody else.

[RISE'S HAS GONE THROUGH IT'S OKAY IT'LL BE OKAY. Smiling, trying to be reassuring, it's all going to be okay.]

We can get points easily enough with our lives, winning these games is meaningless. We'll play the way we want, not the way they tell us we should.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sleeplessknight]

[she knew that, logically. but hearing someone else say it is so incredibly reassuring.

exhales, like all of the tension is gone for an instant and gives her an honest smile]

Yeah... yeah! Let's play how we want!

Re: DISCUSSION

[heroicsacrifeyes]

Yeah! Now all we have to do is pick which team we want to protect.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sleeplessknight]

We're leaning towards the unpopular teams, right?

I think, because of what happened last game and during that one live, Taisho is likely to be on everyone's minds, regardless.

Not sure about ☆ZRAEL... and I haven't met anyone from Wild City, but I know during the last game they also...

[:x]

Re: DISCUSSION

[heroicsacrifeyes]

...

Nobody made any big threats against Wild City like they did with Taisho, but they did score low.

Maybe we should put this to a vote?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sleeplessknight]

A vote sounds like the fairest thing for everyone here, but I still have no idea who I'd vote for!

Re: DISCUSSION

[heroicsacrifeyes]

We don't have to get involved with everyone else's politics, right? That's what everyone keeps telling us. So, if there isn't one that jumps out at you, that's fine, we're just going for what feels right.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sleeplessknight]

Nothing feels right!
