Good Cause Simulator: AlcheME! (saturday)

[idolpro]

[ You’re in a sleek room full of all kinds of sci-fi dials and knobs. You feel like you’ve been here a long time with these people around you, and that you have a lot longer to go before this is all over.

You can hear the distant sounds of the station creaking due to shockwaves from the fighting outside. What is going on in this galaxy? Well, it’s not very important to you. What’s important is surviving.

You have a job to do. ]

Human: They’re human and shit!

Humans But Some Sort Of Animal (Less): Kemonomimi! Choose an animal.

Humans But Some Sort Of Animal (More): Furries! Choose an animal.

Insect Hivemind: Scary monsterbugs that all think as one!

SYSTEM X4-100: Many AI! One groupthink digital space!

Revenants: A bunch of ghosts. Or maybe slimes? Slimeghosts! But for some reason they need all the stuff living things do...and they can die?

Floaty Gross: Docile floating gas bladders. They’re very cute! Don’t make them angry.

MAGIC.JPG INC: Shitty fairies! Don’t trust them! They’re a megacorp and get mind altering glitter everywhere!

If we actually gotta be these things I vote for something with arms.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

Let's make something cute.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[irregular]

I'm kinda worried what'll happen if we start to like 'em.

[featherbeaned]

Something with feathers!

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

Well, we could make slimes, but animal people are way way cuter, said the bird man without a shred of personal bias.

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

The war against The Others rages around you - you're not sure why it started or how, only that one of your species' planets was completely wiped out, with no provocation. You can't help but feel you need to do something about this...but what?

Do you take action, or realize that there's not much you can do to affect things besides your job?

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

While working on the mineral line, you notice a problem with a conveyer belt. You can either attempt to fix it, or leave it for the next shift.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

Will being cute make that worse?

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[inspiteful]

Something cute whose wellbeing we're going to be responsible for, probably, so all the more motivation to try and not fuck it up.

[featherbeaned]

We know what we're here for.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[doublefried]

Tea thinks birdragon people and I agree.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

Well, B died twice and it fucking sucked?
