POISON GAME: BAD END=DEAD END

[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. ]

Guess they wanted to roll out the welcome mat for the newbies.

Guess the both of you are now just our bad luck charm.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

What can I say? We make things more interesting, I guess.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Ha. Don't look so glum.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

What? Don't tell me you get off on this shit.

[Folding his arms and leaning up against the wall.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Hardly.

But being upset is just what they want. Though I guess we should keep the ratings up.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

I've got an idea for better ratings.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Does it involve hitting people?

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

It involves breaking their vials and telling them to fuck off.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Are you really worried about getting a poison?

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

I'm worried that we're just going to keep jumping through their hoops without fighting back.

I'll drink whatever the fuck they send through, if you're worried.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Sorry, newbie, you aren't drinking them. I don't want you going and getting mad at whomever sent you a poison if one came around.

I don't give a shit if I get poisoned. I just want the escalations outside of games to stop.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

It's fine. How am I even going to know?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

They'll tell us. I'm sure of it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

So I won't fucking listen.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

You are smarter than I give you credit for.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

[Phoenix is making a pretty good case for breaking the vials making us not actually able to help anyone, though.]

...how many teams are going to send the poison?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

To us. I don't think any.

There is on person on sensitIV I can see sending the poison to Taisho. Taisho and Avante might send it to each other. Wild City and Azreal are wild cards, but they did play nicely last game like this.

We played stupid last game that was like this. I'd rather not have a repeat.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

...fine.

I'll save my fuck you for a game when we won't waste the chance to help someone out.

Happy?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Gives him a thumbs up.]

Elated.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

So who's the lucky winner?
