CAPTIVE GAME: future is now & Izanagi

[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 – Shark's position color. ]

[ on another pillow sits Izanagi, with his ankles tied together and his hands bound behind his back. he's tied with normal, if sturdy rope with no magical properties, using normal, if sturdy knots. it's possible to untie him if you want. if he's particularly resourceful, it's also possible for him to escape. ]

[Well shit.

He's immediately shifting to try to untie his legs at least.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Sorry, Izanagi. Here's one asshole who is stepping on the ankle ropes so he can at least read the rules first]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Hissing. Because hey guess what he can't actually turn off his pain so THAT'S ALSO COOL AND FUN.]

-At least tell me the rules, too.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Seems like one person from each unit is being held hostage by another unit. And once a certain thresh hold is reached on each victim, the hostage is returned to the unit.

Being a martyr also isn't worth much. Though I don't know if I'd peg you as the type or not.

[bondsofsuffering]

What's that threshold? I don't mind cooperating to some extent as long as we keep the torment to the minimum and stop for good once you have your unitmate back.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Crying as a direct result of something we do.

[bondsofsuffering]

So if you focus on irritating my eyes, that should be enough. There's a few different ways to do that non-violently.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You get any sad memories yet or they all still as boring as shit?

[bondsofsuffering]

...

It looks like there's some dirt on the ground, if you want to try throwing that into my eyes.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Hmmmm.

Attempts to steal his phone]

[bondsofsuffering]

[WELL HIS HANDS ARE STILL TIED SO IT'S JUST KINDA SITTING IN HIS POCKET.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Opening up to the memories. Seeing if they were publicly or privately purchased]

[bondsofsuffering]

[It looks like he did a pattern of private ones and then public ones and fortunately for Intensity all the especially shitty ones were public (please note cw: suicide/suicidal ideation for some). Also a couple public ones involving Yvette but whatever.]

Isn't this inefficient?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

On the contrary, this is the most efficient.

[Giving Izanagi's eyes a little time to dry out while Medusa does whatever he's doing]

[bondsofsuffering]

Dirt would be even faster than waiting for a whole memory to play out.

[But dry eyes definitely a thing.]

[justpure]

[ Medusa's gonna walk up behind Izangi and wrap his arms around his shoulders... Like the guy isn't restrained enough. ]

Well, this should work out for both of us.

[ The "chin" of his mask rests on Izangi's head as he reaches over to hold Izangi's eyelids open. ]

You asked for this, you know.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Scrolling scrolling scrolling]

You'd make a good midboss. It just comes naturally to you.

[justpure]

Would I, now?

[ He doesn't move at all, though he makes sure Izangi will be facing the screen after Intensity's set up. ]

I never truly considered that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Hovering over the most awful one because he isn't named Intensity for nothing]

Oh really? That's a shame.

[bondsofsuffering]

Only for the eyes, not the memories.

[HMPH. But his eyes are getting drier, that's a start.]

[justpure]

[ He hums flatly. ]

Yes... But the two methods combined may yield some quick results. Is that not what we want?

[scarvedforlife]

[ Wow is this what happens to us when none of the softs are here. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Showing him the list of public memories]

You going to be able to sleep at night if I hit replay?

[scarvedforlife]

I'll tune it out and focus on the physical.
