Heart Soldier Senshi

[idolpro]

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a car.

You're wearing a time-worn, windblown version of your 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.

But you seem to remember - you survived, didn’t you?

...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! ]

[ Before he de-Henshins, there is a serious of sick cracking and crunching sounds.

But then he immediately returns to normal, physically unharmed, and takes a moment to just crouch on the floor gasping for breath. ]

[foolmetwice]

[IT TAKES HIM A MOMENT, BUT. . .]

[Mars pushes himself up, also physically unharmed, and takes one look at the score--]

Oh come on!

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Is it -17?

It's -17



Just starts laughing. ]

[THROWS HIS HANDS UP IN THE AIR!!!!]

[then presses his fingers against his face and drags them down his cheeks]

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

The same score using two totally different tactics.

[ STILL LAUGHING a sort of, nihilist's laugh, though it starts to taper off. ]

Ahhh, I should have expected.

Re: DISCUSSION

[foolmetwice]

Yeah. Just our fucking luck, right? Nice reminder that our choices and decisions and agency don't matter.

[bitter. but at who, it is a mystery!!]

. . . we got one upvote. Who's it going to?

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Running a shaky hand over his face as he straightens up, finally looking over the list. ]

. . .

One of these looks like pep . . . and one looks like Future is Now.

Future is in the negatives too, so--

[ HE'S BIASED ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[foolmetwice]

. . . I think I was wrong about Joker earlier. The one about a rebel needing sleep-- that's him. And the kitty cat one that talks about whips and cake. . . that's North.

[. . .]

WILD CITY's okay for now, but BAD END=DEAD END-- [bites his lip]

[. . .]

No, it's okay. We can vote for something else, so long as we don't downvote them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Bad End is worse off than FIN.

But King is feeling very selfish suddenly, so all he says is-- ]

Alright. We'll add those to the list not to downvote.

Re: DISCUSSION

[foolmetwice]

[BAD END=DEAD END is worse off than fin but they had one round without punishment, so. . . it's fine. it's fine? it's fine]

Thanks. Shitty fucking game. . .

[deifiedwhitedragon]

[By his side with a hand on his shoulder

Definitely not because he's still a bit unsteady on his feet himself.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He doesn't look up just yet, but he does place a shaky hand over Seto's. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[deifiedwhitedragon]

...It can't be said they aren't creative with their punishments.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He bites back the urge to laugh. ]

They had to make up for plants four times in a row.

Re: DISCUSSION

[deifiedwhitedragon]

[blinks...]

Four?

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ It wasn't in a row.

He's just mad.

He drags a hand over his face and stands. ]

It's nothing.

We need to . . . go through all these advertisements again.

Re: DISCUSSION

[deifiedwhitedragon]

It's not nothing. D.Va mentioned some things... But I believe that was still only three.

[also stands]

We can talk about it later.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

[As soon as he drops the armor and manages to pull himself back to his feet, he's heading over to King]

...jesus, dude. Are you okay?

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Shaky inhale.

Shaky exhale. ]

Nothing Henshin didn't take care of.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah. Thank Christ we got that power.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

I wouldn't have even thought to use it in this type of game . . .

[ THANK GOD FOR MORI AND HIS > 1 BRAINCELL ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

Would you believe, way back when, this is the kinda thing we got it for.

Took this long to get to use it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He--

Laughs, a little.

How many closed room games have there been like this??? ]

We're so stupid.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

...we're pretty dumb.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Scrubbing a hand over his face as the laugh tapers off. ]

Ah, well . . . I at least don't regret any choices we made.

Do you?
