CAPTIVE GAME: LiliS & Eichi

[idolpro]

[ You're in a room with no doors or windows, about the size of a living room. Depending on how many of you are around, it might feel a little cramped. The walls and ceiling are draped with fabrics, the floor covered in colorful rugs and piles of sitting cushions, but you can see the dirt ground and untreated wood walls peeking through in places. There are three or so oil lamps to light the space, each placed on a stump-like round little table that isn't big enough to hold much else. It's kind of cozy, but...

Most of the cushions are embroidered with an array of colors, but there's one pillow in particular, set aside from the rest, that's one solid color – Iris's position color. ]

The rules we've been given are extremely specific: The best thing we can do for Iris isn't to torment well, but to torment quickly.

Specifically, it's not even torment. Just tears.

Our ability to shape the world with illusion has only been made stronger recently.
[ a beat. then, shrugging— ] Since I assume we want Iris to be safe more than we want points, I propose we all generate a large number of freshly cut onions.

[ ........ onions. ]

I don't think I'll be much help if that's what we go with.

[worthathousand]

Let me check something... [ pulling out her phone ]

...If you don't mind allowing me to aid you this way, it's a potent ability, and can only help us here.

Re: DISCUSSION

[flamecursed]

...very well. But if this does not work and we do have to resort to other methods, I will be a part of it.

[ a pause, considering her.
then she nods. ]

Good. Whatever choice you make, it should be one you are not ashamed to face.

Re: DISCUSSION

[flamecursed]

[ Nodding. ]

I thought so, too.

Think I could buy an ability right now?

[ CHILDREN WHY ]

I just checked for Edelweiss—you should be able to. Do you have enough points?

Re: DISCUSSION

[enlightenedatheist]

I have them. Just never saw a reason to buy any.

Re: DISCUSSION

[worthathousand]

[ waving a hand ] I put in the purchase for you already, in the interest of efficiency.

We'll call it the least I can do for all your cooking.
But after this, I'd like to at least make a pitch for Juniper Tree and Cut-Tongue Sparrow, for your own safety more than anything else.

Re: DISCUSSION

[enlightenedatheist]

. . . Thanks.

I'll think about the Juniper Tree.
