POISON GAME: Taisho Roman Revolution

[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. ]

DECISION

[idolpro]

[ Name the vial you will send and the unit you will send it to, and the vial you will keep to drink. Since this is a one-round game, there's no hard deadline; the game will end as soon as all units' decisions are in. ]

Re: DECISION

[hashtagaesthetic]

We're sending the antidote to BAD END=DEAD END and keeping the water.

RESULTS

[ghostofissues]

[ Two of the stands descend into the floor, leaving the water behind. The ground closes up behind them, but opens up again a moment later in different places, new vials raising up out of the ground:

- one with a tiny lotus on top.
- and one with cherry blossom petals.

Despite the texture, they taste like nothing.

Poison effects are outlined here. ]

...Wonderful. Just great.

[bluerosestyle]

[you mean there's another type of game?]

Do you think we'll have to argue about this?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollplayinghouse]

What do you think?

...

[she stares at the vials]

[bluerosestyle]

[same]

How can we tell which one's the antidote and which one's the poison?

Re: DISCUSSION

[furrytailprince]

I see no intercommunication this time.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hashtagaesthetic]

Mm. That would likely make it too "easy".

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

... how distasteful.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hashtagaesthetic]

That happens a lot, unfortunately.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sonof]

[ why poison again

plainly, ]

I'll agree to send the antidote as long as I drink the poison we receive.

Re: DISCUSSION

[furrytailprince]

No.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hashtagaesthetic]

[BUT??? NO????

BUT HE CAN ALSO SEE THE LOGIC BUT NO????]

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

What? Why?

Re: DISCUSSION

[syncintohell]

[ literally bites his tongue since he publicly announced he'd go with whatever Yasuragi said

but he doesn't like it ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollplayinghouse]

No.

[bluerosestyle]

[he thinks hard before saying anything]

That won't stop anyone from holding grudges, and I don't want other units who don't like you to see us as fair game. Even if we can choose this time, what if we can't in the future?

If we send out the antidote, I don't want Yasuragi to drink anything we get.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hashtagaesthetic]

Right. Does anyone object to keeping the water and sending the antidote to Avante? For reasons other than spite.

Also, if our goal is to send the message that they can't get away with targeting us just because of Yasuragi, the one who drinks whatever is sent should be someone many people on other units have a solid investment in. Obviously I volunteer myself, but I do want others to weigh in.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollplayinghouse]

I agree, obviously.

...And I'm willing to drink as well. I can handle it, and I haven't taken any damage in any games yet, so...

Re: DISCUSSION

[syncintohell]

Send the antidote to sensitIV. I do not approve of doing anything for the pleasure and gratification of avante en garde.

[ ugh by that criteria he shouldn't volunteer himself since he's aware he's not well liked ]

. . . I believe there was a poll the other day on who was the best liked of each unit. You did well?

Re: DISCUSSION

[furrytailprince]

... I will not allow it to be you. As you have been hurt before.
