BARITONES

[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.

DISCUSSION

[Inspecting his joints and everyone else.]

Well. We're playing this one hard. What shall we go for first? I suggest we focus on mental but I am open to other suggestions.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mourningson]

[examining his ball-jointed wrist as he moves it around]

I have a suggestion.

Re: DISCUSSION

[temperedinpride]

Go on.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mourningson]

Future is now—something to do with their hair, and if not that, something to do with their hope.

[Rude, game he can't even flop on the couch. He'd probably miss and hit the table or something.]

Delightful.

Well, the only thing I would care to sacrifice as a preventive measure would be our memories, but that fortunately doesn't appear to be on the table.

And since we have some new faces, I suppose I some tactical information is warranted. BARiTONES protects itself first, placing itself paramount. But we are not without our allies. Two in particular we have strong ties and non-agressions with. Avante and Future is Now, though the later is more strained as Silence and Kohime are not with us. But I don't imagine they would simply start targeting us now.

The rest of the units, well, ebb and flow with who is present.

Re: DISCUSSION

[temperedinpride]

Mm, my initial thought is mental but the win conditions do stipulate regaining. I would like your opinion--physical or mental?

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

A mix actually. We have to argue our humanity after the case. And shallow as the audience is a doll with perfect emotions will not suffice nor will a perfect physique with a blank stare.

Re: DISCUSSION

[temperedinpride]

Two each each round, then? An even split.

[failedsafe]

[this is her favourite paaaaart]

[firstworldproblem]

Do you have thoughts, Lily?

[He doesn't know about Ordine, so good thing they picked Alcheme!]

[failedsafe]

I don't reaaaally want to hit HSS--or Bad End--but if it can't be avoided, they can take it, I'm sure.

[failedsafe]

Eyeing her joints like [:o!

but also...]

This is going to suuuuuuck.

[temperedinpride]

Likely not so much if we win, so let us aim for that.

[failedsafe]

Alright.

[doesn't wanna hurt anyone else but that's a mood for most people.]

That is what we do.

[temperedinpride]

I have revised my first assessment. Do join int he discussion if you have anything to add.

[maryhadalilgun]

This is going to suck.

[failedsafe]

Yeah, so welcome to your first game! It's about as fun as several bricks to the face. The bricks would be better, sometimes, honestly.

Re: DISCUSSION

[maryhadalilgun]

So this is a game. As preposterous as it it distasteful.

Re: DISCUSSION

[temperedinpride]

Indeed it is. Well, we will do our best to win. I hope you will bear with it. Any input is more than encouraged.

Re: DISCUSSION

[maryhadalilgun]

There are, unfortunately, the vitals to consider. A spine, a head, and so on. How likely is the judge to consider the intangible over the literal?

DECISION

[idolpro]

Please list it like this:

1. [TEAM] - ACTION
2. [TEAM] - ACTION
3. [TEAM] - ACTION
4. [TEAM] - ACTION

Or [SACRIFICE - ASPECT] if you choose to sacrifice.

Re: DECISION

[firstworldproblem]

[Sacrifice - Love]
[HSS] - Physical: Heart
[PEP] - Mental: Hope
[Sensitiv] - Physical: Brain

RESULTS

[idolpro]

LOSSES - Teetotalism

You can feel that you've also gained a lot of your SELF. It feels a lot more real now: Hope! Things will surely go well! Nothing will go wrong!

You gained a brain! Everything is clearer now, thinking is quite easy for you.

You did not receive a heart.
