POISON GAME: AlcheME!

[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. ]

DECISION

[idolpro]

[ Name the vial you will send and the unit you will send it to, and the vial you will keep to drink. Since this is a one-round game, there's no hard deadline; the game will end as soon as all units' decisions are in. ]

[sigh]

So, where shall we send the antidote?

[honoraria]

Who's likeliest to need it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[holdhandsandsing]

[Oh, they're separated from the other units this time. This kind of thing again, though...]

Re: DISCUSSION

[filetofish]

What?

[hold on a second--]

How about nowhere?

[honoraria]

[keeping quiet and watching everyone else for cues... only now does it occur to him that no one's ever really talked about how AlcheME handles these kinds of games.]

[afailedmurder]

Taisho? But Boss will be thinking the same thing...

Re: DISCUSSION

[holdhandsandsing]

To a "unit" that might not get one? Or~... a "unit" that would definitely give theirs away?

Re: DISCUSSION

[afailedmurder]

Then you'd have us send out poison?

[honoraria]

Well, who after Taisho?

Re: DISCUSSION

[filetofish]

[he's peering cautiously at the vials]

I'm voting for self-preservation.

Re: DISCUSSION

[filetofish]

Yeah, I would. Who says we have to prioritize other people by default?

[afailedmurder]

It's difficult to say. Other teams will be thinking the same thing. I do have some concern that Bad End will do something stupid, for obvious reasons...

Re: DISCUSSION

[afailedmurder]

Precisely. Taisho for the former, Heart Soldier Senshi for the latter...

Re: DISCUSSION

[afailedmurder]

...Well.

I can't agree to actively attempt to poison a team. But that having been said, ☆ZRAEL and WILD CITY will almost certainly be keeping their antidotes...

Re: DISCUSSION

[holdhandsandsing]

Maybe "Taisho", then... if we send it, that is?

[he doesn't seem eager to immediately side with either H or A's opinion.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[filetofish]

I'm not excited to poison anyone myself. But I'd also rather not get poisoned. I know we're not exactly swimming in enemies but I'm still not happy about the risk if we give it away.

Re: DISCUSSION

[afailedmurder]

I am a bit concerned about Maki after Yasuragi made an ass of himself in the previous game... but I'm certain that Boss will be thinking the same thing.

Re: DISCUSSION

[columbidaring]

What I want to know is how much poison an antidote can cure. 'Cuz we can probably guess at some units who will keep their antidote, so if one antidote can cure all the poison then it's like... safe? To send to them...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[holdhandsandsing]

He may be thinking "A will certainly be thinking the same thing", too?

Re: DISCUSSION

[afailedmurder]

Mm. I don't believe anyone will target us specifically, unless it's with the idea that someone else will be sending us antidote.

But on the other hand, there's absolutely no way that WILD CITY will give away their antidote. I think we could safely send it there.

Re: DISCUSSION

[filetofish]

That's what I'm thinking about. If we can make sure we're safe with a good bet we're not actually hurting anybody that's what I want to do.

Re: DISCUSSION

[afailedmurder]

Possibly, but he's not the type to leave things to others, nor to think things fully through. If he's worried about someone, he acts.

Re: DISCUSSION

[filetofish]

Then that's my vote. But I won't get mad if I'm overruled.
