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.]

We may use it to ensure extra protection for pep!pep!.

[auguryofinnocence]

I suppose we might as well, if no one cares.

[debatemebro]

Let's do that.

Now we have only to pass the time.

[auguryofinnocence]

Well, we do need to choose what to do with the other two. I would think Zrael can best handle harm, but may be most likely to receive more of it.

[debatemebro]

I think they could handle beheading, surely. Unless you have an alternate opinion; like I've said, I have no stakes.

[auguryofinnocence]

Zrael is of greater importance to me, but Five also has a brother on Wild City. It's six of one, half a dozen of the other. The stakes even out so I can go either way on it.

[debatemebro]

I wouldn't be against reversing the cards. I selected randomly.

[auguryofinnocence]

Hm. No, it's alright as is. I don't want to give them that, but it has to go to someone.

...Well. If Zero doesn't mind we could change the trade to whoever we give "behead", to essentially give us two uses of "wed".

[debatemebro]

If we wanted to minimize the damage we cause, that's a possibility. We don't have grudges

[auguryofinnocence]

It is rare for us to be so altruistic.

[debatemebro]

I don't think there's altogether much to be gained by playing selfishly in this game.

[auguryofinnocence]

No, nor in trying to protect anyone really. Even the best outcome still means some punishment, and trying to arrange it to give one unit three "weds" to make use of the healing allowance is too unpredictable. Thus the outcome matters little to me, even with vested interest in our choices. We can stick with what we have.

[debatemebro]

Yes, nothing we can do will have an influence on what the other three units in our group choose to do.

[auguryofinnocence]

Exactly. I'll go along with whatever is chosen. So indeed we only have time to kill. At least Tsukinaga is having fun.

[composeur]

Sooooo... you want to take the very same 'behead' that we'll give to another unit?

[ he's probably just been crouching around them with the curtain-dress in his arms. waiting for vergil to drop his guard. ]

[auguryofinnocence]

[THIS GREMLIN.....]

Right. If we're going to be taking one on purpose anyway, there's no difference who it comes from.

[composeur]

[ vergil has to sleep Sometime ]

.... ... WAHAHA! You're right, though! Actually it's even better isn't it? We're taking back the very execution sentence we're putting forth! It's got a sense of romance and drama to it, doesn't it? This way we're sure to bring the sword of damocles down upon our own heads!

[auguryofinnocence]

Did you just feel like dying today? It wasn't exactly my fancy, but, ah well. "Romantic" is meant to be Taisho's role, we could play into it now and then.

[composeur]

[ maybe a little bit. ]

It's just more interesting this way! We'll surely die, but it will be in the service of protecting the ones we love. They'll cry over our dead and mangled bodies, and the audience will live vicariously through our deep devotion and suffering~

[ he may also be acting out just a teeny bit. ]

[auguryofinnocence]

I see, you're just feeling dramatic today then. You are the last remaining artist after all, do hold down the fort.

1/2

[composeur]

[ -- oh

that's... ... kind of a lot actually. ]

[composeur]

..... wahaha! I see! I guess that's true, huh? I guess I'll just have to do my best, for the sake of everyone who isn't here now!
