CAPTIVE GAME: Heart Soldier Senshi & Challah

[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 solid black – King's position color. ]

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

[ man... this would be so nice if she wasn't tied up! ]

Are we supposed to be playing together? [ testing her ropes........? ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[....oh]

Re: CAPTIVE

[firstgrave]

....... no? [ that look says no. ]

Re: CAPTIVE

[crossmyheartandhope]

...they want us to.

Doesn't mean we're gonna.

Re: CAPTIVE

[firstgrave]

[ you say that but you're all arguing pretty hard over there ]

What happens if I don't cry?

Re: CAPTIVE

[crossmyheartandhope]

We don't get King back. We gotta trust whoever's got him ain't shitty to him.

Re: CAPTIVE

[firstgrave]

[ frowns!! ]

I don't want to keep him from you, but... I don't know how to help you either.

Re: CAPTIVE

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... I guess.

There anything that makes you cry? Like... watching real sad Youtube videos or whatever?

Re: CAPTIVE

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ oh no. IT'S THE BABY.

Honestly, unless someone stops her, she's going to go over and untie Challah ]

Yes, but--this isn't... one of the nice ones.

Re: CAPTIVE

[deifiedwhitedragon]

[Seto will stop her, a hard grip on her wrist.]

What are you doing?

Re: CAPTIVE

[crossmyheartandhope]

Letting her out. This game is BS.

Re: CAPTIVE

[deifiedwhitedragon]

So you plan to let King be tortured to the full extent of this game?

Re: CAPTIVE

[crossmyheartandhope]

I plan to trust whoever has him not to be a dick.

Re: CAPTIVE

[deifiedwhitedragon]

Well, I don't. Have people seemed kind and restrained to you, these last few games?

Re: CAPTIVE

[crossmyheartandhope]

Maybe they would be if people didn't just jump right in with torture. You ever think of that?

[Going to try and untie Challah,]

Re: CAPTIVE

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ owch?? ]

You can't honestly want to leave her like that, right? That has to hurt!

Re: CAPTIVE

[deifiedwhitedragon]

She's tied up normally. They've left the pain to us. And we don't need to make things more difficult for ourselves by letting her free.

Re: CAPTIVE

[dragonheartedgirl]

But--it's not right, Seto. Challah is a nice girl. I know they took King, but--there has to be a way to resolve this that doesn't require hurting her! Or leaving her tied up!

Re: CAPTIVE

[deifiedwhitedragon]

...I suppose pain isn't strictly necessary, by the rules. And our powers lend themselves better to... emotional manipulation, in any case.

Re: CAPTIVE

[firstgrave]

[ eyeing whatever Seto is doing. ......... ]

The last time wasn't nice, either.

Re: CAPTIVE

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ holding her still for the moment ]

No. It wasn't. But... they want this one to be worse.

[ Just what... is going on. This isn't like Yasuragi... ]

Re: CAPTIVE

[firstgrave]

[ she's just watching them all argue now ]

...... what are the rules? I can't read them.

Re: CAPTIVE

[dragonheartedgirl]

They say--they say that in order for us to get our person back, we have to make you cry. Challah, I'm....

[ crying. ]

Re: CAPTIVE

[firstgrave]

[ wh

what ]

Don't-- don't cry please. [ her hands are tied she can't even do anything about this????? ]

I'm sure everything will be okay.... [ she doesn't sound certain but that's all she can think to say ]
