Gloom: future is now

[idolpro]

[The old-fashioned writing desk in the center of the room carries several blank pieces of paper, a fine wooden pen, and a piece of parchment covered in writing. When you take a look, you find the following epigraph in a vibrant scrawl:]

Congratulations, future wordsmiths, and welcome to your first exercise in the creation of a true masterwork of tale-telling. This evening you'll be penning a terrific tragedy, starring the family of unsympathetic ne'er-do-wells provided to you.

Your goal? Why, to construct the best story your mind can conceive, of course - and make their lives as entertainingly miserable as possible before writing one of them directly into an early grave.

Then if you feel that strongly, take the card and play it. But know that's a hard no for some members of our unit.

Problem?

Several.

However. I will not stop future is now from learning from their mistakes.

Will they though?

I understand your reasoning completely. But at this moment, protecting others is more important to them. It's more important to me since we are shooting blinding in the dark. So to put them first, you'll have to be the one willing to take the criticism even when there are no good options available.

It was the same as the taxes game, wasn't it? I was plotting to get three units killed and the rest of the unit was aghast that there were liars in their midst. When we were the liars.

...

It's only a mistake if you feel regret afterwards. Yours included.
