BARITONES

[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!

Anyone have a favorite number?

Re: Discussion

[whenshesmiles]

Isn't choosing randomly better than going for favourites?

Re: Discussion

[firstworldproblem]

I would give them props if they knew what our favorite numbers were. Though I suppose if they can erase memories and alter personalities, not much is out of their grasp.

Re: Discussion

[whenshesmiles]

Exactly. Best to just assume they know more about us than we do and leave it at that, hm?

Re: Discussion

[mourningson]

It matters not to me. There is no true significance to any of these boxes before knowing what is inside.

Re: Discussion

[firstworldproblem]

Spoken so aptly. I have a feeling as a unit we will care not.

Re: Discussion

[mourningson]

We can pick at random... but I'd prefer not to be the one to do so.

Re: Discussion

[syckophant]

Nope! I don't think any are going to be 'good', but it might be funny to pick 4~

In my homeland, it is associated with 'death', fufufufuuu!

Re: Discussion

[firstworldproblem]

I for one enjoy the sarcasm of an inside joke.

Then 4 or random then seems to be the consensus. Would you mind selecting for us?

Re: Discussion

[syckophant]

Certainly! I am alright with the onus of responsibility! Please feel free to direct your ire at me if it is terrible!

But now we must decide on eliminated number too, right?

Re: Discussion

[mourningson]

Re: Discussion

[syckophant]

Well if we die at least that's an easy one to deal with! Just a little bit of mopping up to do~

[failedsafe]

I don't want to taint my good numbers with what will probably be bad experiences!

[firstworldproblem]

It seems irony is the selection.

What is a non-good number for the box selection?

[failedsafe]

Six. I don't much care for that number, I think.

[mourningson]

Are there "good" numbers?

1/2

[failedsafe]

[...]

2/2

[failedsafe]

Sure there are, but really, I'm just partial to "bad luck" numbers, myself. Like Thirteen!

Re: Discussion

[syckophant]

"Skin... Dried Version."

[WRINKLES NOSE.]

I'd rather not. Does anyone... think we should take that option?

Re: Discussion

[mourningson]

Assuming you did not pick the box containing "death," there is still a high chance we could avoid injury altogether with an empty box.

Re: Discussion

[syckophant]

We simply have to hope we eliminate that box, and if we do not... perhaps taking our last chance at a deal would not be a bad strategy.

Re: Discussion

[mourningson]

We can consider it next time.

[failedsafe]

Pass.

[syckophant]

I'm glad we agree. That sounds extremely unpleasant.

Not that any sound particularly fun.
