WED BED BEHEAD: LiliS

[You wake alone with your unit in what appears to be a dressing room. There's nothing on the costume racks right now, but you have vanity seats and a couch to chill on if you like.

On a table in the center of the room, there is an ornate metal box with three slots on top. The slots are labeled with the names of three other units: Heart Soldier Senshi, AlcheME!, & avante en garde. Next to the box a laminated copy of the IC rules is taped down, and beside it lie four cards:

♦ a green card with a picture of two linked rings and the word "WED"
♦ a blue card with a picture of a rose and the word "BED"
♦ a red card with a picture of a guillotine and the word "BEHEAD"
♦ a purple card with a picture of two circling arrows and the word "INSTEAD"

You have til 9pm PST to submit your votes.]

[ wwwwhhhh...

Just sort of. Staring at the list, expressionless. ]

[ nudges her ]

[ looks at him ]

Yes?

Just checking on you.

I'm fine.

We're concentrating on protecting Alcheme?

Yeah.

I see... okay.

You got thoughts on it?

No, not really... I don't really know anybody on Alcheme.

All things considered it could be worse. I think. I can't say I know anyone on any of these units.

[ stiffens, slightly. ]

Yes, I suppose you're right.

Do you think we're likely to get hit hard by them?

I think we're likely to be the majority of peoples' afterthoughts.

Mm. That's what I'm worried about.

It's the normal course of things.

Amaranth used to be one of us, so maybe she'd at least vouch for us so that Avante doesn't hit us as hard?

[Maaaaybe? It's a stretch. He knows by now that one person doesn't automatically make or break game outcomes.]

...

She needs to concentrate on her unit, not ours.

I know Q from home and she's also my girlfriend. I'd like to be able to protect her, if that's fine...

... yes, of course.

...I know you want to protect Avante. So...we can definitely bed them. And not use Instead on them.

I'd choose everyone for Wed, if we could, but...

... mm, I never said anything about that.

But I know you would. Thank you.

Some things don't need to be said to be understood.

[ a long pause, but. ]

Please don't misunderstand-- there will never be a situation where my wants in a game like this will trump someone else's needs.

You should protect the people that matter to you, when you can. I can only worry about Lilis.

...Do you say that because you think we won't listen? Because you think what you want doesn't matter? Or because you feel you don't deserve it?

What you want matters to me. We can find a way to protect our wants and Lilis.

No, it's-- I simply can't afford to have so many connections that my loyalties come into question. I would not expect the... the very few people I trust to prioritize me over their unit, and I hope they would not do so.

If my desires conflict with the better result for our unit as a whole, I must set them aside and do what is right.
