POISON GAME: WILD CITY

[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. ]

Don't worry, it isn't anything big — but they're not allowed to sacrifice themselves. See, they're considered to be high value for various reasons, if you want I can list them out, but neither of them can be harmed or killed. Absolutely not, see?

[ see, Aries is also talking to her. maybe if you want to convince her of anything you shouldn't let other people talk to her? ] You want to drink it instead.

If it comes down to it, yes. Though more than that, neither of them can be allowed to sacrifice themselves in any circumstance.

Why not?

This is a community with factions and alliances, while it isn't explicit, you can't say public face doesn't matter. Silver is most definitely the best of us with regards to instinctive morals and I assume he also has the most positive relations off of the team. So, he is definitely valuable due to that alone, but his moral center also helps direct our choices. While morality itself can be dangerous and disadvantageous, not having that considered is rather difficult as well. If anything, you could look at his instinct and just use it to factor in other views.

Aries is the leader, and while the leader bears responsibility he should also be protected. His role is to make decisions, in a way but also be a figurehead. You could imagine that if Silver's role is to look good, it's Aries's to give some direction to the team. However he does have one glaring oversight, which is he cares a little too much and isn't logical enough. But it would be, frankly, quite terrible if we let our leader sacrifice himself. Plus, most of the others do respect him and he's naturally charismatic and well-liked. So even if he isn't as friendly as Silver, he's definitely an asset.

[ hey. haruto. she checked out of this after the first paragraph and isn't even paying attention to you anymore. ]

. . . oh, you're that type.

They're worth more than I am.

Re: DISCUSSION

I don't care.

Re: DISCUSSION

[ sigh ]

It's pretty easy. People are arranged by value and least valuable are more disposable. You make decisions by positioning people for success or failure.
