HEART SOLDIER SENSHI

[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!

[ And he thought the HSS kitchen was tacky... ]

I see.

So we should assume any neutral or positive outcomes are a very low probability, if they exist at all.

[420blazeit]

I think the best we can hope for is a neutral outcome. I sincerely doubt there will be any positive outcomes...

[leaveofabsence]

[ Oh. That kind of game. ]

I'll trust your experience on this matter.

[420blazeit]

Is this your first game?

[leaveofabsence]

Ah yes. Reigo said there was also a game yesterday, but I must have completely missed it.

[ Things that happen when you get distracted wandering around Tokyo-F for hours. ]

[420blazeit]

I missed it too. It was something about potatoes. I hope we don’t end up doing too badly, especially since it looks like it could wind up ending... poorly.

[ reaches up and clamps a hand on his shoulder, giving a squeeze. ] But remember you have henshin now, Kay, so if something *should* happen...

[leaveofabsence]

Your concern is appreciated, but you do not have to worry on my account. Violence is not something unknown to me, even though the method in which it is being dealt out here is new.

[420blazeit]

I might not *have* to worry about you, but I’m going to anyway. We’re unitmates. But I’ll try not to be like an overbearing mother. [ chuckles. ]

[leaveofabsence]

Did unfortunate things happen to your other unitmates? The ones that---

[ He gestures to himself and Reigo ]

We replaced.

[420blazeit]

...a lot of terrible things happen here, and I hate seeing that sort of shit happen to the people closest to me. [ combs her fingers through her hair and sighs. ] But one of them hadn't been here for long and was transferred off the show, so I guess that's, ah, good. And the other... we were... [ her tail twitches. ] very close and he graduated.

[leaveofabsence]

I see. Hiryuu told me about graduation.

My condolences for the fact that the two of you have been separated. Losing someone who was by your side is never easy.

[420blazeit]

You get used to it. [ no you don't. ] But on top of that Heart's kind of become a revolving door lately. [ shrugs. ] It is what it is though...

[leaveofabsence]

[ No. You don't. ]

I surmised from our initial meeting that getting three new unit members was a little bit out of the ordinary.

[420blazeit]

Most people stick around for, like, at least a bit... and graduations don’t happen *this* often, but whatever it’s fine. [ I’m fine. ] I half expect to be the last one standing anyway. [ for reasons. ]

[leaveofabsence]

I see.

Then it will be you who will carry on their memories.

[420blazeit]

Hurricane's the oldest member of Heart. I'm now the second oldest... and, like, of course that doesn't mean jack, since the producers can approach you with graduation at any time, but... I... I definitely want to preserve their memories. When we get back to the dorm remind me to show you a jacket I have...
