CAPTIVE GAME: BARiTONES & King

[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 – Eichi's position color. ]

[ on another pillow sits King, 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. ]

Oh, of course.

Do forgive us the lack of hospitality. I do not believe we've been introduced? I'm Cosmo. I suppose one of your friendly torturers for the day. However that pans out.

Re: CAPTIVE

[puzzlekeeper]

I figured it was something like that, since I was kidnapped and tied up.

[ Leaning back as well as he can given his . . . position. ]

So. What are the rules of this game I'm supposed to be playing in?

Re: CAPTIVE

[marsascending]

Ah, terribly sorry we have to meet this way. I'm Paloma. Not a very good way to greet someone, but...

[ and she sort of... places her hands over his, as if to perform a gesture of greeting except it's awkward because his hands are tied behind his back.

give me your cr rundown, please and thank. ]

[ His bound hands jerk as if to move out of the way, but, he's tied up so. She can manage it if she's determined.

His closest person is Intensity, on future is now -- rivalmarriage, etc. Then it's D.Va and Hiryuu; the former being another lover and someone he feels a sense of protective obligation for, and the latter being the closest thing to a sibling he's ever known. Those three form the foundation.

Then there's the rest of Heart, Hurricane and Seto in particular. Cobalt on pep!pep!, an invaluable friend and confidant. Glory on Zrael, a dear friend with some tangled history.

And Yugi, of course, the literal soulmate -- though he's recently transferred. ]

I'd return the sentiment, but it seems you're not worthy enough opponents to dignify it.

A knife.

Woooow, looks like we got a hero on our hands!

Re: CAPTIVE

[puzzlekeeper]

Sorry, I'm not one of the particularly heroic ones.

[ snooping through his phone and seeing the text Cosmo has queued up to send to her.

Her head snaps up to make eye contact with him.

She turns the phone so he can see the video of Intensity in a gothic lolita dress on the screen. She's crying. ]

[ JUST SMIRKS



If he could thumbs up he would ]

[failedsafe]

"Of course"?

[puzzlekeeper]

I thought the next game would be something depraved.

And now here I am, tied up in a room with all of you, and no idea of the rules.

Re: DISCUSSION

[marsascending]

[ ...well fuck. ]

Well this really is a situation, is it not.

[failedsafe]

...Thiiiiiis is one of those awful games, huh.

[marsascending]

It most certainly is. We have our rules, we have our captive; all that's left to do is form a strategy.

[firstworldproblem]

It would be.

[temperedinpride]

For a given value. It is hardly tasteful.

Re: DISCUSSION

[temperedinpride]

So it seems. How shall we proceed?

Re: DISCUSSION

[tradesecret]

I'm just glad it isn't Kohime.

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

How bold of them! A face to face game this time.

Re: DISCUSSION

We're gonna get shit for this no matter what we do, aren't we?
