AVANTE EN GARDE

[idolpro]

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.

Kohime-san, what would you like for us to do?

Re: DISCUSSION

[purrrnicious]

I don't want to just let them hurt us.

[Her eyes flick briefly to Cardigan –– maybe suspecting that would be their play.]

Maybe we can, I don't know. . . think of "human" stuff that won't be so bad to lose for other people.

Re: DISCUSSION

[emptymind]

Then, what does Kohime-san believe makes someone 'human'? Or, right now, is there anything you want to have?

Re: DISCUSSION

[purrrnicious]

. . .I don't know. A heartbeat. Memories. Convictions. Isn't that the stuff that makes you a "person"?

Re: DISCUSSION

If we steal 'conviction,' or 'drive,' then we could also accomplish Commodore's plan of weakening the plays of other units. What do you think?

Re: DISCUSSION

[purrrnicious]

I don't care if we win, I just. . . I don't want to let them kill me. Or hurt me.

Re: DISCUSSION

[emptymind]

Which is why, without 'drive,' 'perhaps they will only steal from one unit and be less likely to target us,' or 'perhaps they will choose something less significant'... I do not know if it will work out so effectively, but that would be more or less my hope.

Maybe. . .

[ the rings in her eyes turn emerald green ]

I'll do my best to protect Kohime-san. Okay?
