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.

[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.

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

That is the easy part. The hard part is the target. Who do we not care about?

Re: DISCUSSION

[temperedinpride]

Regrettably that list grows smaller.

[He sighs, looking at his fingers, curling them and watching the joints as he does.]

My interests are on Taisho. But by extension that includes LilliS, avante, Wild City, and Zreal. I am sure you are in a similar position only worse.

I will not argue for sparing or hitting any particular unit, we could simply go one by one through each, and try to aim the gentlest at the ones we would most spare. Or pick four to hit each round.

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

To maximize our chance at victory I would target the same four.

Heart Solider, pep, sensitIV, and ... Alcheme or Bad End? For my personal preferences, the last would get the lightest. I care not what happens to the other three.

Re: DISCUSSION

[temperedinpride]

[Considers it... Well. Sorry D.va.]

I only have some acquaintance with those on Heart, Alcheme or Bad End. Not enough to make much difference to me. If you care for Bad End then let us pick Alcheme, unless there are objections.

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

Someone I have respect for versus B, whom does supply the unit with ample sleeping potions. So 'tis a toss up truly. As I said, we can give them the lightest.

Re: DISCUSSION

[temperedinpride]

We could switch those two each round and give them the lightest in turn then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

I still vote for tearing down four units as much as possible. They will survive it.

Now, onto what. Does anyone have suggestions?

Re: DISCUSSION

[temperedinpride]

Very well. Alcheme we will go easiest on.

I would steal and sacrifice love.

And if our goal is to argue our humanity, heart and mind. Or brain I suppose.

Re: DISCUSSION

[innerdaemons]

[ wiggles his puppet-fingers at them, ]

I personally am a fan of a heart, to start with.

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

Absinthe has also mentioned a heart. So sacrifice love. We can steal love next round.

I do not want to put out our newest and give him the choice of the other two. While he has an overabundance of spite that does not mean it is not warranted. He seems quite clever in some aspects.

[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.

[firstworldproblem]

If they can take it, then I will not exclude them. Though I believe we are removing bad end from the table.

[failedsafe]

I'll take it.

[she'll just have to make it up to a certain someone.]

This is such a fun part.

[firstworldproblem]

There is naught much to be done but act accordingly. We give no quarter for our actions and take them understanding the affects they have on others.

Difficult to hear, but truth all the same.

[failedsafe]

Naaaah, I know that, that's why. Don't like it, but I'll still do it.

[firstworldproblem]

[Would pat her shoulder but doll joints!]

If you ever do start to like it, then worry.

[failedsafe]

Noted~

[lightly, cracking her neck casually]

I think I'll leave the rest of you to argue our humanity once we're through, though.

[firstworldproblem]

No. I think that would be an excellent exercise for you. You do have a way with words and poems after all. You can start now.

[failedsafe]

What--no? No?! Absolutely not. The newbies can definitely weigh in if they want to too, I'm not about to exclude them, but you and Cos have immense hearts, wisdom, and understanding! Not to mention eloquence! No way!
