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. ]

Because I very publicly made an ass of myself, just before you arrived.

And so you think drinking poison is your penitence? Don't be a fool.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sonof]

I think that no one else here has done anything to deserve it, either.

Re: DISCUSSION

I highly doubt anyone playing in this game truly deserves to be poisoned. This is not a contest of martyrdom.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sonof]

I'm not a martyr for not wanting to sit back and watch while others pay for my mistakes.

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

You have no idea how the others will choose to act. You are just making assumptions. You do not deserve to be harmed like this, regardless of what you did.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sonof]

It isn't that I care if I deserve it. I don't want to watch someone else suffer in front of me. That's all.

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

And do you think you are the only one who feels that way?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sonof]

On the contrary, I can tell you from experience that the rest of them do as well.

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

... if it were a matter of merely doling out punishments as balance, then by all means, I would not object to you taking the poison. But not for these reasons. If you want to pay for your mistakes, find another way. This is not... this isn't right.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sonof]

You've all reached a consensus, anyhow. We'll go with that.
