POISON GAME: future is now

[ 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. ]

[ 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. ]

[ leaning over the vials, thoughtfully humming. ]

It seems too simple.

A "starter game" . . .

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

... this is called a "game"?

What makes you say that?

Sometimes they are like that . . .

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

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

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

For our newest unit.

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

I guess they weren't there for the last one . . .

[staring at the vials]

I can tell. It's simple, but cruel.

Welcome to your first game, Duality. Thoughts?

[RAISES HAND]

Two out of three!

Do you count this as working out fine?

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

[:(]

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

Obviously, I don't like it, but I suppose that hardly matters right now.

Uh-huh. Sometimes they're fun, but sometimes . . .

Which do you care about?

Oho. . . how kind of them to believe that poison is a softball, compared to immolation and exsanguination.

I could make the number of points we'd win in a few hours easy, the prizes for these games just aren't enough to be worth the consequences.
