Good Cause Simulator: avante en garde (saturday)

[ 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. ]

We don't have to join them. We can harbour them and just ride off their status.

And if they don't wanna behave, we crush'em.

I don't care.

Why are you even talking to me? You've all clearly already decided, anyway.

I don't really like the idea of joining a cult either. But if we are simply using them...

[ Hnng. ]

I think that if we take a more cautious route to begin with, we can watch how the dice fall, and if it isn't favorable, take your much more direct approach next.

That's how I died.

[Sry, she's flouncing, crossing the room and putting her back to the rest of them to stare out the window instead.]

[ . . . Unsure if approaching her or giving her space is the best option here. ]

[How about not joining creepy space cults :(]

[ :(

. . . . . . . . . . Will go sit a small distance away from her. ]

Kohime-senpai...?

. . .

What do you want.

[It's technically a question but the phrasing is flat.]

I have never experienced a game yet where my life would be on the line. Or the lives of others that are here, too.

[ . . . ]

I realize in a moment like this that I am deeply in over my head, and am nothing but a novice. I am afraid of making a mistake, too. I don't want to be responsible for out unit being hurt. I can only offer what I think, but I don't have the experience to back my thoughts up.

. . . I know that you have fought your way through many battles in this place. And you have the heart of a fierce warrior.

If possible, I would like to listen and learn from your own experience. I know that I can learn from you.

. . .

It's not going to be your fault if Avante dies.

I know that my actions and words hold weight however. I cannot shy away from it. Even though I kept naively hoping that my luck would not run out. I am here now, though.

. . . What pitfalls should we avoid? What is it that we should do to avoid ruin? None of these paths are clear to me.

You're not because you actually care if Avante makes it.

It's the people who think it's more important to try and "save everyone" -- which never works -- or who just want to feel superior because they followed some 'morality' thing, and they sacrifice the team for it -- that's who's gonna get us killed.

Is that how Avante usually plays?

Depends who's loudest.

Because if the plan goes sideways, we'll probably have to turn to space piracy anyway.

You're on your own. If you get me killed, at least try to make it quick.

...I know you don't agree with Nemesis, but she's had a track record of being pretty good at this kinda game. When she and Nitro were playing alone, they ended up cruising through it without a scratch.

The rest of us totally ate shit until a prison riot, so. We can still turn it around if we fuck up early on.

[A pause.]

I'm willing to go as hard as I need to so you don't die in space again.

What, you think I care if it was her idea? I don't throw out good ideas because the person who comes up with them doesn't like me.

[She's a good cat.

He's gonna pet.]

[No that's definitely how you get bit -- pls note flat ears and lashing tail, fair warning.]

Don't touch me! You don't get to ignore what I think and just pretend to care when it's easy and convenient!

[i mean, fair]

I do care. I know what you're saying - go aggressive and take two birds with one stone. We're still taking the merchant supplies, but one ship can't fit a whole colony. That's why we're building up our reputation instead. We'll have people who actually intimidate the others now.

No. You don't.

What part of "murdered in space" was so hard for you to understand? I don't want to join one of these cult things, it didn't exactly work out for me last time!

...It's not gonna go the same way. We're not gonna let them get away with it.
