FUTURE IS NOW

[idolpro]

You find yourself in a room like this.



It's a simple theater room with a giant colorful couch for everyone to sit or lie on if they so choose, and on the screen, you'll find a screen with twenty clones of a single, sexy assistant holding boxes, each box being labelled 01-20.

Also by sexy, I mean she's wearing stained sweatpants, crocs that are like 10 years old, and then this shirt. She looks grumpy and put-out, almost like she doesn't wanna be here.

There's also a remote that has the numbers 01-20 for you to press, and also buttons "DEAL" and "NO DEAL".

Oh yeah, and popcorn and soda!

So what is Lord of the Flies about?

Re: Discussion

[mind_blown]

Buncha kids abandoned on a deserted island, forming a society.

It gets dark.

Re: Discussion

[dumbjockenergy]

Was it something that actually happened?

Re: Discussion

[mind_blown]

Nah, it's fiction.

You ever read something that didn't actually happen?

[weenwoon]

Well, just one more to go.

[He's shifted so that he's now lounging on the sofa upside down, legs on the wall.]

I am worried that death is still on the list, however. It's possible that it's the one we picked in the beginning...

Re: Discussion

Hopefully, it will be in the four we're eliminating. We still have two empty boxes, so at least our chances don't look that bad.

Re: Discussion

[weenwoon]

I hope so too. But if it's not I think it will be prudent to take the next deal.

Re: Discussion

[dumbjockenergy]

Yeah, better to know what we're accepting to take for the punishment, as awful as it could be.

Re: Discussion

[mind_blown]

If we don't eliminate it, I'd say we take the next deal.

Re: Discussion

[weenwoon]

That was my thought as well. We have the less harmful punishments left now and I don't want to risk it.

Re: Discussion

[mind_blown]

Exactly.

And sounds like Arya'd rather avoid it too, based on the conversation earlier.

Re: Discussion

[weenwoon]

[Yeah... yeah. He shoots Arya a sympathetic glance.]

Mm. I'm surprised at how well it's gone so far, though.

Re: Discussion

[asonoficeandfire]

Ah... it's the last round.

Re: Discussion

[dumbjockenergy]

We've held up okay so far.

Re: Discussion

[asonoficeandfire]

Yes, I think we should be all right. Let's hope for the best.

Re: Discussion

[mind_blown]

I say we take the chance. Could have something worse than this, sure. But could have something better.

Re: Discussion

[dumbjockenergy]

It's almost fifty-fifty we have an empty box. I think it's worth it.

Re: Discussion

[asonoficeandfire]

Yes, it's definitely up in the air now.
