POISON GAME: future is now

[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. ]

We're drinking poison A and sending the antidote to pep!pep!. Poison B will be removed from play.

RESULTS

[ghostofissues]

[ Two of the stands descend into the floor, leaving the cherry blossom vial behind. The ground closes up behind them, and nothing else appears to take their place.

Poison effects are outlined here. ]

[ leaning over the vials, thoughtfully humming. ]

It seems too simple.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What makes you say that?

Sometimes they are like that . . .

[hexsplosive]

There's no need to make anything overly complex when the basics work just fine, hmm?

[nohalation]

A "starter game" . . .

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

For our newest unit.

[hexsplosive]

Oho. . . was the last game not induction enough for pep!pep!, I wonder. . .

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Seeing as they weren't in it, probably not. Maybe Hell wants to start with a soft ball.

[nohalation]

I guess not since they weren't there . . .

[:(]

[asonoficeandfire]

... this is called a "game"?

[nohalation]

Uh-huh, but it isn't a very good one.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Welcome to your first game, Duality. Thoughts?

[hexsplosive]

That's ri~ght. Fun, isn't it?

[scarvedforlife]

... So who actually cares about winning, who cares about staying alive, and who cares about public opinion!

[hexsplosive]

[RAISES HAND]

Two out of three!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'd have more of an opinion if we knew what the poison did. Your stance?

Re: DISCUSSION

[a_fine_human]

I wonder if they would consider it against the rules if someone just drank all three now.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'll open this up for discussion. Who are we sending our choice to?

Re: DISCUSSION

[metafaliure]

Well, it seems straightforward enough that we shouldn't drink poison.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So answer me this question, Mukuro. Azzy. And whoever in Hell is fucking watching right now.

What happens if we don't abide by the rules of your game?

Here's an experiment. For science.

[And with that, Intensity flips off wherever he thinks the camera is and proceeds to drink all three vials at once]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[After all the drinking ker-fluffle]

Okay. Now what are we doing with the fucking antidote?
