POISON GAME: avante en garde

[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. ]

[ THE MOST UNSURE LOOK AT THAT SECOND PART. ]

[deicider]

I know, but they're not complete idiots. After that public stabbing they can't afford this.

And everyone on that team knows I can kick their ass.

[calmthefoxdown]

... but would they really care? They wouldn't have done that in the first place if they cared.

[deicider]

Someone on that team cares, yeah. I was talking to the guy who did the stabbing during my own Live.

[calmthefoxdown]

[ UNSURE but also. ]

... Alright. If that's the case, sending it to Wild City would essentially be a gesture of good will to them.

[ Mmm. ]

... I know Aries talked about an alliance between Wild City and Avante to me before. But I also know I'm not the only person on this unit with people important to them on other units. If there's a unit we think would get a poison, I would want to send it that way.

[Smiles at him.]

Aries and I actually had a good talk after my Live. I don't think anyone will go out of their way to poison them but I'd like to show them some good will, too.

I can't think of any unit that would be at risk myself.

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Nods. ]

Then I personally would want Wild City or AlcheME. But I'll also accept majority rule, if the others are more worried.

[Sounds like Raijuu is worried about Heart Soldier. Cardigan doesn't look thrilled but it's a valid concern.

They reach over, gently squeezing his shoulder.]

Thank you, Gold.

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Definitely ready to go check on Wild City and AlcheME the second they get outta here. ]

[Cardigan is gonna be REAL UNAPPY if they're wrong about nobody wanting to poison Wild City]
