The Last Supper - AlcheME!

[idolpro]

[ 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. ]

[neigh_sayer]

Because B isn't here.

[laughs, waving hand in a vague gesture]

I'm kiiiidding. We all have a pretty much equal chance of getting picked off, but it sounds like if you're the heart. . .you can't defend yourselves.

And there's nooo way I could subject my cute brothers to that!

Among other reasons.

[honoraria]

[he seems, conflicted, but also not prepared to throw himself on that particular grenade, either]

...I see...

[neigh_sayer]

[beams!]

Yay! It's my turn to be a sacrificial lamb! Neeheehee, I wonder when I'll be taken out.

I'd do it myself right now, but that would be trouble for you guys.

[honoraria]

[actually going berserk and not having to actually, think about what's happening, sounds pretty good right now,,,]

...I think that would count as refusing to eat. So Taisho wouldn't come off too well, either.

[neigh_sayer]

[GOOD SYNERGY GOOD SHIT]

So it seems. . .

Well! I've got an idea, but I'll wait for the others before I voice it.

[honoraria]

Ominous.

[neigh_sayer]

Ahaha, don't look so worried! It's a game, like any other, y'know?

[honoraria]

That's not as reassuring as you seem to believe.

[neigh_sayer]

Would you rather I be sobbing? I can do that for you.

[honoraria]

That doesn't work when I know you're faking.

[neigh_sayer]

Neeheehee! Sorry, sorry I should have started out that way. . .

But look, it's just us. E and B are missing out, so, I guess I'm ready to talk.

[honoraria]

...I'm listening.

[neigh_sayer]

[taps at the rules]

The annoying thing here is that Taisho's well being on the line here. Truth be told, I don't actually care that much if they stay sane in the head or not, but I don't feel like getting on Maki and A's bad side either.

So assuming we want them to be okay, someone has to atttack at least once.

But after that. . .

I don't see any rule about one of you taking me out. If I live through the round, that is.

[honoraria]

You're not -- are you seriously asking one of us to kill you?

[neigh_sayer]

Only if one of you wants to, of course. If I understand the rules right, as soon as I do, you're all gonna go crazy. Neeheehee, you might get a taste of what everyone in that spooky house went through!

So! I'll either be killed by someone else at some point, or killed by you all. Or maybe there's a chance I'll live. I don't care either way.

Basically. . .

[neigh_sayer]

. . .you guys will suffer the most, any way you slice it.

So, I'll leave my fate in your hands if another unit fails to choose me.

[honoraria]

C...

[he's. right. but also. why.]

Let's. See how the first round goes.

[neigh_sayer]

Okay.

Remember, you don't have to do anything you don't want to.

[honoraria]

[I mean. we kinda do. but.]

Then... I suppose all that's left is...deciding how to play the first round.

[neigh_sayer]

Mmhm. We can abstain, or attack. Of course I lean toward abstaining, but again, it's a risk.

[honoraria]

Those odds are...not good.

[neigh_sayer]

Then which would you prefer? Not want, prefer.

[honoraria]

Whether we aim for a heart or abstain, we're angling to force berserking on a team. If anything...actively attacking gives us a less chance of doing so. But it would entail...attacking...

[and J isn't sure he can carry one out which means someone else will have to do that and how pathetic is that, forcing someone else to do it because he won't--]

[neigh_sayer]

Neeheehee, someone's gonna die either way, you mean.

Aaah, there's no winning.
