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. ]

[looking a little pained]

We can't really always prevent it. I can't even guarantee that smashing vials would end up with us not getting injured.

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandschemed]

I know. But here .. we would have a choice -- some way. Even if it ain't the nice way.

But I get ... wantin' to protect other people too.

[ IT'S JUST HARD!! ]

[my good dog 8(]

I know. I get it. Nine-Nine also thinks like me and suspects the vials can't be broken anyway, so...

... if we get poison, you can have first dibs.

[ a little smile, some kind of relief at that ]

I know it probably sounds -- weird'a me to be grateful for. But if we're doin' this that's what I'd want.
