FORESIGHT=DEAD END

[idolpro]

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in prison.

You're wearing raggedy versions of your team uniform 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.

But you seem to remember - you survived, didn’t you? Well, some of you just died of alcohol poisoning, actually.

...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh.

Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

Ugh.

Everyone thinks they're a fucking comic.

Coping with humor is a legitimate strategy in these trying times.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

I can tell.

But meme-ing everything is a risky strategy.

I'm looking at you, marines rip-off meme.

Re: DISCUSSION

Uninspired.

Re: DISCUSSION

We can play less hard this time.

Re: DISCUSSION

[liarliarliar]

Give yourself a hard limit of ten downvotes?

Re: DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

Something like that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[liarliarliar]

I leave it to your judgement.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

No, it's a good call.

Thanks.

Re: DISCUSSION

Songbird?

Re: DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

I was guessing the quiet gestures and blade one. It sounds like her.

Re: DISCUSSION

[inspiteful]

Oh.

[ ...Give him a moment he has to infer what 'benchpress' and 'truck' means here. ]

...Yeah, that sounds like her too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

I'm almost certain that one's her. But if we're gonna go light on downvotes, may as well pick one to upvote and avoid downvoting the other.

Re: DISCUSSION

[inspiteful]

...I guess the songbird one was her 'cause she's the only one here named after one, and it sounds about right that one her unitmates would say she's dear to them. I don't know how good the other avantes are with words though, since I can't imagine she'd be comfortable writing a blurb for herself. But we can upvote either one.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

...

[he considers.]

They're not great. Passable, but she's the only poet. And Nero would write something like the bench press.

Re: DISCUSSION

[inspiteful]

...

Okay, fair. He would. 'Steel magnolia', though...

Re: DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

... We'll not downvote the other one.

I want Avante to not shit the bed too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[inspiteful]

All that's left to do is cross fingers, huh...
