Heart Soldier Senshi

[ The elevator opens up to a room spacious enough to house the whole unit comfortably, but with no furniture to speak of except a touchscreen podium near the far wall, displaying a row of four larger-than-life mahjong tiles on a red background. On the left side of the screen is a square that says TRADE. The walls and floor of the room are nearly checkered with metal panels, out of place against the rest of the marble flooring and unremarkable off-white walls.

The elevator doors close behind you. ]

[ Okay but did anyone catch the part where that guy said he graduated from being an idol? And is now apparently helping out? Like what the fuck. AND ALSO WHAT IS WITH THIS GAME OF MAHJONG FROM HELL. ] "Lose a limb?!"

[fiberoptic]

Calm down, Princess.

[Wire's deep in thought, and his thinking face looks very pissed off.]

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He isn't heading in until he confirms that other teams are showing up, and that it's not going to be a full-on boycott, the way Wire had suggested. Consequentially, he's a couple of minutes late. Just going to start scanning the instructions, getting paler and paler as he gets caught up.]

What the hell.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ I mean she's not trying to destroy the game pieces but





she was giving it thought. BUT she'll take this into account and try to at least read the rules... thoroughly..... ]

So to protect our own hides, we have to do the worst we can to other people?

[ her voice is laced with open disgust. ]

[made_up_names]

[ UM

UMMMMM ]

What the heck is going on?

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ I mean, she knew this stuff was going to get bad? She's seen memories of children being beaten, she's no disillusions as to the kinds of things they think are "entertaining" to expose people to. Still. ]

This was not exactly the way I imagined these games would go.</td> </tr> </table>

Our hosts have escalated their nastiness, evidently.

[made_up_names]

[ Spidey shivers a little, holding his splinted arm closer. ]

Maybe - maybe people will be nicer to us since we broke stuff the first time?

[ He isn't sure he likes that outcome either. ]

[fiberoptic]

We're not doing that, obviously.

[But that means putting themselves up as the sacrificial lambs. That thought... was really ugly.]

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He SUSPECTED when he found out one of SensitIV's powers, but still.]

This is -

They really don't pull punches.

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[crossmyheartandhope]

Game time, I guess.

[His arm's out of the splint, oddly enough. It looks fine now.]

[fiberoptic]

[Okay. He's thought this out. So he's just gonna lay his thoughts on the table.]

So. We lucked out on only having one tile that will completely fuck someone up. That means we have to trust the other teams won't use theirs if they've got the choice.

We've got no control over what they're sending our way. But we can choose the message we want to send. It might make us look like easy targets for the future... but would you live with yourselves knowin' you did the opposite?

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ yeah she's not counting on that. especially since they might think that we don't actually value our lives. --she will not point that possibility out to him, though. ]

.... Whatever the outcome, we need to be prepared to not take it personally. The rules are set up such that those who wish to defend themselves from attack must play their worst chips.

[made_up_names]

What are we gonna do? Play as nice as we --

[ Wait. He stares at Hurricane's arm. ]

-- You're healed?

[fiberoptic]

The real games are starting.
