TAISHO ROMAN REVOLUTION

This room is not real.

That's the first thought that crosses your mind as soon as your consciousness comes back up. You're not even sure if that's your own thought, but the feeling doesn't leave no matter how much time has passed. The room looks nice and cozy, but everything feels wrong. You don't belong here, you're you, aren't you?

Aren't you?

You'll soon notice that there are other things that just isn't right. You can talk, but is your mouth moving? You can see, but are your eyes blinking? You also have ball joints. Nothing hurts, and you're fine, but it's a little weird.

[ This is weird and Not Good but he's going to keep his chill ]

We should use all of our options for each round. This will allow us to make up for whatever we'll inevitably lose.

And talking to the other Units participating is, I assume, not an option?

To clarify, it matters not to me what other Units are hurt. But considering all this talk of the delicate peace between Units...

It's a game, anyone getting upset over it is an idiot. Besides. Given that Taisho is not a priority for most, they have no business getting upset for however we decide to play.

But to answer your question no, it's just us.

Well, obviously so, but when one is surrounded by idiots... [Sometimes you have to carter to idiocy? Sadly.]

Take we no consideration of the wishes of our other unitmates, then? [Say, that thing about not touching Pep?] Once again, I have no personal preference, but I also claim not to know the intricacies of the relationships here.

We take in consideration everyone's strongest ties.

Pep, Baritones, Heart Soldier and Avante are straight out of the gate. I'd like to add LiliS and Wild City to that list as well.

We can hit SensitIV, Future is now and Bad End. Shu and Vergil have someone on zRael so between them and AlcheME, I'd rather pick alcheME.

As you say. And they will give us the same courtesy in turn, I trust?

[He does not actually trust this.]

No.

Some we can trust more readily than others but as a whole we should start with the assumption they will not spare us.

[...........]

I must admit, I do not understand this reasoning, then.

Neither do I but if we don't keep their preferences in mind we'll have to face endless complaints, and it'll be a pain in the ass. So. We cut our headaches short and go with it anyway.

[Sigh!]

Are we allowed to attack a Unit that is theoretically off limits, should it be them that instigate an attack?

[Or are they just supposed to roll over in a scenario like that?]

So, what do we want?

We should try to aim for things people are likely to steal from us, and from then on we play to recover what we lose.

[ hums, noncommittal ]

I talked to a guy once about what makes a 'human.' I don't know if we came to a consensus on anything though. Think people are going to try for the real goal, or steal based on some other logic? Stuff they'd like to take away from other people, or that kind of thing? Ahahah, should we steal 'cruelty'?

I would rather aim for most regained aspect obtained than "most human", that's a bullshit definition we're never going to meet.

Sure, I was just looking for a starting point for guesses on what other people might take.

Fair enough.

But to be honest, I have no idea. Perhaps our ability to reason, to start with.

Sounds good to me, so there's one! Let's take it from future is now. I doubt anyone would want my hands, but what about 'breath'? I doubt with this setup they'll let someone keel over in the middle just like that, so it probably won't be lethal, right?

[ even if it is, no loss tbh ]

It's better than nothing, so. Let's go for it.

[--Bursts out chuckling at the "cruelty" part.]

Edited 2020-09-20 18:34 (UTC)

Some people could probably use it!

If the goal is to create the most humanlike creature, should we also include "hypocrisy" and "selfishness"? Those are deeply human traits, are they not?

Sure, that sounds about right.

They are, but you should consider they will be reflected on us, and I don't particularly feel up to getting an increase in hypocrisy and selfishness. We should focus on traits that would not potentially cause us to lose focus in the game.

Oh, think you those would result in a lack of focus? I would rather think them beneficial for one's survival.

[He's chuckling again as he says that, so he's clearly not being very serious in suggesting this. Where's your sense of humour, Five?]

Potentially. And our survival doesn't matter if we're unable to do so efficiently

[ his sense of humor is not in this house ]
