WED BED BEHEAD: sensitIV

[idolpro]

[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: BAD END=DEAD END, future is now, & BARiTONES. 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"

Mmngh.

How... help?

[lionhurt]

You know anyone on those teams? It's not something we can do anything about now, but if we're like, lucky and someone's close to someone on them maybe we won't get super screwed right out of the gate.

[speaknoevil]

Um... met Jason. Levity.

Caring. But, protect themselves.

[lionhurt]

Ugh. So they'll be using their instead card for self-protection too, got it.

[speaknoevil]

Um. Maybe??

[what is strategy i've never met her]

[lionhurt]

Not maybe, probably. Anyone with any sense is going to do it that way. It's just the self-sacrificial that's going to do it the other way around, but if they care about each other and it's not just shallow lip-service, it's totally going to happen.

[ <-- a cynic ]

[speaknoevil]

Jason says... sensitIV, 'bad at carin' about themselves.'

[lionhurt]

Uh-huh~ I heard that too when I showed up. So it's super our job to make sure that doesn't happen. Dying is shitty, actually?

[speaknoevil]

Super our job...?

I thought... healing, rely on us.

[lionhurt]

Yeah, sure. But if we're all in pieces if any of you start healing other people without even taking care of your own injuries I'm not letting you hear the end of it? If other people rely on us, that's more reason to take care of ourselves, not less.

[speaknoevil]

Umm...

[sounds fake]

But, we... numb?

[lionhurt]

What's that got to do with it?

[speaknoevil]

No hurt?

[lionhurt]

Aaaaand if your body is in pieces you're totally going to give everyone else nightmares? Not to mention that's a shitty attitude to take.

[speaknoevil]

[but

what's wrong with giving everyone a few nightmares]

Why, shitty?

[lionhurt]

People who care about you are totally not going to enjoy seeing you broken. It's like, spitting in the face of people who'd like to protect you.

[speaknoevil]

People who care... are sensitIV.

New girl.

[lionhurt]

Yeah, and? Do you think we're all just scrambling to save our own skins here?

[ . . . ]

I mean, not that I care. My own skin is definitely plenty reason to act, thanks.
