Good Cause Simulator: BARiTONES (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. ]

SPECIES DECISION - PICK ONE

[idolpro]

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!

Effervescent Flora: Plantlife, but with an attitude.

Does it matter?

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[syckophant]

It's just the flavor of the suffering we will go through.

We should pick something we won't be terribly attached to.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[mourningson]

You make it sound like you are attached to any of them.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

Not really. But pick something enjoyable if we are to engage it for a time.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[innerdaemons]

Ooh, I'm quite fond of revenants!

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[syckophant]

Absolutely not. I just don't want our more easily-attached members to find them 'cute' or whatever and to get invested. They will go through something terrible, as will we, I'm sure.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[crossmyfingers]

This lacks creative energy. They need better writers.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[syckophant]

They do sound terrible.

[That is, he sees why you like them.]

CURRENT JOB: Asteroid Miner
POINTS SALARY: 10
ABILITY: MINING LASER: You can fire the mining laser, gaining 10 extra prosperity but with a chance to mildly injure every member of one random unit with the same job and lowering their sustainability by 10.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[innerdaemons]

Very! I do wonder what sort of chaos they would inflict.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

And here I wanted to see you as a pixie.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[mourningson]

Who would those unitmates be?

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[mourningson]

Which do you find enjoyable?

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

[Taps the top of his head.]

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[innerdaemons]

If you asked nicely there is no limit to what we can be in our dreams.

ALLOCATE POINTS

[idolpro]

You may allocate your Asteroid Miner points to: Prosperity or Readiness

Will you pay taxes this year?
Will you use your job ability?

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

It depends on the goal. If we want to entertain ourselves, I'm sure either of the sharing thoughts would traumatize us more than what this game could provide.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[crossmyfingers]

[???]

What?

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[temperedinpride]

I've no preference.
