The Last Supper - avante en garde

[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. ]

[Wild City would be our hostage team. Ugh.

Cardigan is going to read the rules and look up to address those gathered.]

Being Heart means you don't have to kill, but it's more likely you could die. Think carefully about which you prefer.

[knightceties]

[well when Cardigan puts it like that what else is Ace supposed to do]

Ahaha. Straight to the point~

[unbr8kable]

What do you think? If we're gonna do some every voice matters kinda thing.

[knightceties]

I'm the Heart.

[he doesn't care about strategy, like FUCK is he going to do anything other than maximize everyone else's chances of getting through alive]

[unbr8kable]

Why you?

[less challenging and more curious]

[knightceties]

This way, you'll get a fighting chance.

[unbr8kable]

...Didn't really see you as the martyr type.

[knightceties]

So~rry. There isn't a way for me to fight for all of you, so this is the next best thing, right?

[unbr8kable]

I feel like "best" isn't really the word to be used with anything related to this situation.

[unbr8kable]

[arms crossed tight around her middle]

...If we're trying to win, it should be whoever's the least likely, right? That'll give the others the most chance.

[deicider]

[I mean, might be better if the kids all go crazy but Cardigan doesn't say that.]

I want to see if anyone has a strong preference before we jump into strategy.

[unbr8kable]

The two are pretty much the same, right? If we're not trying to win, then just pick whoever, we die or go nuts pretty quick, done. If we wanna try to win, then you gotta actually think about it.

[deicider]

What do you want to do?

[unbr8kable]

[hesitates]

--Pretty shitty introduction for the new kid to just roll over and die his first time out.

[deicider]

It's his decision if that's what he'd prefer. I asked what you wanted.

[unbr8kable]

I--

[don't want to watch you die again--]

--think the faster we take out hearts the faster this whole thing ends, right? So we pick someone we figure no one'll expect. And then we make our best guesses to take out the other teams.

[deicider]

[Thatta girl.]

For least likely, I think that's Ace.

[speakssoftly]

...Do we intend to play this to try and win, or to try and protect one of us from having to kill? Just to get it straight.

[deicider]

What do you want to do?

[speakssoftly]

...It's all going to be horrible whether we win or lose, so we may as well get something out of it. We can't refuse to play, after all, especially not with Wild City on the line.

[deicider]

So you want to try and find another unit's heart and kill them?

[speakssoftly]

I--

[god that's fucked up though. he was thinking about it in terms of how they're already fucked and not fucking over wild city, but actually participating is horrifying.]

[deicider]

[yeah that's what I fucking thought.]

We can pursue a strategy of going for hearts to end the game sooner. We could play defensively and just try and do the best we can. We could pick an obvious heart so we all loose are minds so it's a little less awful. There's not really a 'win' or a minimum loss strategy—So the only important decision we are going to make is to figure out how to play so we don't regret it, as much as possible.

[speakssoftly]

...Yeah. There's not really a "right" way, is there?

[deicider]

[nods.]

The only 'right' way is the way you can live with.
