Or we try and play the odds. Go for the teams who still have a ton of people left.

Re: DISCUSS

[dragonheartedgirl]

In theory, we could do both. If we targeted known monsters who have fought, we could avoid picking any hearts.

But it would mean terrorizing people who have already been traumatized once.

Re: DISCUSS

[crossmyheartandhope]

Jesus.

...I don't wanna hit people who've already been hit.

Re: DISCUSS

[dragonheartedgirl]

I feel the same. If we don't want to hit anyone who's already been hit again, we should aim for Azrael again--or try to figure out who Azrael might target and target that team as well.

[ to take advantage of the reflect, ]

Re: DISCUSS

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, I guess.

[Checking the list.]

Or SensitIV, I guess. They still got everyone, too.

Re: DISCUSS

[puzzlekeeper]

Do any of us have a reasonable guess who sensitIV's heart might be?

Re: DISCUSS

[crossmyheartandhope]

Not really. I only really know Lucifel and Santa, from their team.

Re: DISCUSS

[dragonheartedgirl]

I know most of them. Loki will want to fight.

[ ...

looking at the names, over and over again. ]

If I had to guess, I would think Anubis is the heart.

Re: DISCUSS

[crossmyheartandhope]

He the type no one would go for or something?

Re: DISCUSS

[dragonheartedgirl]

Anubis is...

[ how should she put it. ]

Out of all of them, he's the one I would say is the most stable and least affected by this place. He's also been here for a long time. Even in that house, he had a cool head. He also doesn't strike me as a boy who's really trained to fight.

Re: DISCUSS

[we_meet_again]

The most at-risk team is avante. They have four members left, and Cardigan has already shown they're not a heart. So if anyone were going for a heart, that's the best place to intercept them in a redirect.

On the other hand, if we miss, we hit avante.

[ THIS IS TERRIFYING. ]

I--I don't know. ... If we do that, though--it has to be me.

[ there's a fifty-fifty chance they'd end up fighting her mom or her boyfriend and just. naw. NAW ]

Re: DISCUSS

[we_meet_again]

While strategically sound, that seems even more cruel than getting a heart by accident, somehow.

[dragonheartedgirl]

I'm aware. There might be some who could take it, or at least claim to be able--but even so, I wouldn't be comfortable with it. However, we had to reject the idea all together--not just me.

That said, we can't be sure that we'll be afforded the same courtesy. Sunshine's been hurt--and in theory, if someone wanted to go after him, he'd be a prime target. ... Either way, we can't send him out to fight again.

[malignstar]

[ Can't even muster up the energy to put his playful edge into this ]

Deciding things for me?

[dragonheartedgirl]

If we sent you out again, we could avoid revealing any more of our unit member's statuses, which from a logical point would be sound strategy. But it would almost certainly mean killing you, and even if it didn't--do you really think you could bear to eat another person?

[ like. PLZ sunshine.... ]

[malignstar]

I mean it's not my idea of a Sunday in the park. But if it means that none of you have to, yes.

[dragonheartedgirl]

I won't sit by and let you destroy yourself for our, or my, sake.

[malignstar]

I'm not... destroying myself. I'm protecting people.

[dragonheartedgirl]

And when you die, have you still protected them? That same anguish you felt for Thorn and for Nemesis, do you plan on making your unitmates feel that?!

I understand your willingness to fight for your people. But you've done your duty. You're not the only one fit to fight around here.

[crossmyheartandhope]

No way, dude. We're not sending you out to get killed.

[malignstar]

[ Okay going to force another smile here because he has to ]

It makes the most sense, Hurricane. Don't worry, I can still hold my own. I've got three good legs and the other even regained some feeling.

[sleeplessknight]

Sunshine...

[she knows she can't fight you, but that doesn't mean she's happy about this]

[malignstar]

... It... makes sense, Sunset. It protects the group.
