The Last Supper - sensitIV

[ The elevator lets you out into a private room: from the decor, it is doubtlessly an enclave of the restaurant you saw earlier on screen.

Your phones have filled with a rather sizable rule list. ]

... I also want to know.

[ with a heavy, stressed sigh ] Santa was the one who suggested abstaining in the first place.

Then why... I understand Lucifel-san's, ah, "logic" for disregarding the rest of us, but...

I don't know, she's probably not speaking to me right now because she's a house.

[ the stress is palpable. ]

I... yeah, I'd... noticed...

[why this]

.... with whatever's going on with Lucifel right now, I don't think letting him eat is going to help him.

And I'm not willing to let Santa go again either.

[nods...]

He's already convinced he's unforgivable.

Then it comes down to you or me. .... or Lavender, but I wouldn't feel great about forcing him to go.

Or forcing you to go either...

[squeezes his eyes shut, his hands balling up into fists.]

I... I'm terrified of what's going to happen this round, whether I'm fighting or not.

......... I can go this time. If we don't abstain.

But the numbers are already dwindling fast. We might actually get attacked this time whether we do anything or not.

If there are units who are trying to play by spreading out the damage, we'll get attacked this round for sure. We haven't lost anyone yet.

Of course, another strategy is to aim for the units with the fewest members remaining. That has the highest chance of finding a heart.

A 50% chance of berserking... I don't really like it.

[he speaks quickly but a little haltingly, but otherwise without much emotion. these are facts.]

If more than one unit decides to attack us we can redirect it. .... but if we send someone out there's a chance they won't come back.

I care much more about protecting us than I do about protecting AlcheME. [ with some frustration. of course if it was Taisho or Heart he'd have a different opinion though. ]

If you're really that concerned about it I can go.

It might. Be easier to deal with Lucifel-san... if we take abstaining off the table.

[opens his eyes again.]

I'm sorry. I'm-- trying to focus, but my thoughts just keep going around in circles.

..... it might be. It would also be easier to deal with him if we just tied him up.

[ just saying. ]

You don't have to think so hard right now Anubis. .... I don't think we can predict what anyone will do in a game like this, and even if we could it wouldn't change the reality. We just have to get through this. I'll go this round, and afterwards we'll go from there. One step at a time, okay?

There's... I have an idea, but because of deflection, I'm not sure if it'll work.

At this point it can't hurt to at least throw it out.

You won't like it.

... I don't like a lot of things right now.

I...

[looks away, then back at Loki.]

I could target Nine. I'd... let him eat me. That would be okay. But I don't have any assurances I'd actually get him, because more than one unit will probably target Bad End? I think he'd understand, too...

[wringing his hands at this point.]

............... [ you're right he doesn't like that.

his visceral reaction is most certainly unpleasant. nothing like anger or even disgust, just... something pained. sad. .... he doesn't like it, but he can't actually object either. ]

If that's really what you want to do I won't stop you. But I don't want to lose you, Anubis.

I don't... I don't know what to do. I'm thinking about it too hard, I know, I'm trying to find loopholes where they don't exist, but I just...!

You went ahead and did something I didn't want last time.

Then... the game progresses.
