WED BED BEHEAD: Taisho Roman Revolution

[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: pep!pep!, WILD CITY, & ☆ZRAEL. 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.]

RESULTS

[idolpro]

[Anemone's voice cuts in over the intercom, as the lights go dark.]

How exciting! It seems WILD CITY & ☆ZRAEL chose to wed you, while pep!pep! chose to bed you. Alas, you've sacrificed yourselves, and thus your end verdict is...

Wed.

Bed.

Behead.

Ooh, stylish!

[You black out.

You wake up with the sound of wedding bells ringing in your head, vows of obedience echoing vaguely in your memory.

Around your neck and wrists are faintly glowing red marks in a pattern of lace. When you receive a command, they turn white, and you feel compelled to obey, whether the command was given as an earnest order or not. While the marks are white you are convinced that following the command is what you want to do, but once you've done it they go back to red and leave you fully aware.

You black out again.

You wake up tied down to a four-poster bed, all draped in velvet sheets and golden tassels. It's quite comfortable, until the person -- one whose features you cannot recall -- leans over you.

They open a small sewing kit, and from it pull a needle and thread. You find yourself unable to struggle, to even turn your head as your captor begins to sew. Your eyes, your mouth, they're all tightly shut, with soft and colourful thread in pretty geometric patterns you can't even see.

You black out again.

You're brought to your method of execution: a field of bodies impaled on stakes. Your executioners -- whoever they are -- seize you by your arms and legs, taking wooden stakes of various sizes to stab into you. Cruelly, they miss your vital spots, so surgically precise that you can only assume it was intentional. You aren't here to die, or at least not die easily.

Bizarrely, once they've fitted enough stakes, they take a saw to cut off the excess, before painting what's left of the wood with cement. It dries to your skin, sealing the wood inside your guts and making it impossible to remove without addressing the stone first.

You black out again.

You received 6 points. You may proceed to endgame.]

[ squinting at the rules... squinting... squinting.... ]

UUUuuuuuuhhhh THIS IS TOO HARD!!!

[auguryofinnocence]

[Rrrrolls his eyes]

What, that's it? So if the decision is simple we cast our vote and sit here with nothing else to do?

[composeur]

If there were costumes here I'd say we could put on a play. Who puts someone in a dressing room with no costumes?

[auguryofinnocence]

I'm sure you can find something to put together. Be creative.

[composeur]

[ hmmm ... hmmmmmmm....... HMMMMMMMMM.......................


goes to the curtains over the cotton racks and just. reaches up and TEARS THEM DOWN! ]

Aha!! [ goes over to vergil and throws them over vergil's head!! ]

[debatemebro]

[ looks down at the options. ]

[ looks up. ]

I don't care.

[composeur]

Wahaha! As expected of Shahi! The rules were really long, so I stopped reading them!

[debatemebro]

I don't know a single person on any of those units. I will defer to the will of the group; I have no stakes in it.

[composeur]

The moon vampires are nice but I don't think they'd mind all that much if we hit them hard. There's a fourth card though I think? I couldn't figure out what it does, but maybe we can use that instead! It could make this more fun!

[auguryofinnocence]

Well at least this one is simple enough then.

[Not like, the best, should look after Hargreeves and Spardas if possible, but. Could sure be a lot worse.]

[debatemebro]

Yes, I defer to the opinions of the group in this case. I also am not concerned with harm or death on my own person should it occur.

[auguryofinnocence]

I'm sure it will be happening one way or another. Although given each of those units have family among Taisho, there's a fair chance we will get off light.

[bloodyrose]

Of course.

[debatemebro]

I don't know anyone on those teams.

[bloodyrose]

. . . Fair. I don't either, except maybe in passing.

[bloodyrose]

'Wed' goes to Pep. I refuse to do otherwise.

[ Is he the legit only one who cares about one of those? ]

[composeur]

Oh. Okay. Who?

[bloodyrose]

My daughter.

[auguryofinnocence]

[Vergil cares about Zrael! And Hargreeves. But the daughter comes first obviously.]

Naturally. There's nothing to argue there.

[bloodyrose]

[ Debate it if you want! ]

Good.

[debatemebro]

All right.

[bloodyrose]

. . . this is almost too easy, but thank you.
