WED BED BEHEAD: AlcheME!

[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: LiliS, Heart Soldier Senshi, & 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.]

Different throwing someone else on the track if you know its gonna save your life, and when you know there's a...what? Sixty-six percent chance it isn't? Or Thirty-three, I'm not sure what the math is for these statistics.

[inspiteful]

I don't know, either.

I can say with...almost complete certainty that HSS won't play 'wed' on us, it'll go to avante. But besides that it is up in the air if we'll get 'bed' or 'behead', I'm not too sure how they feel about LiliS.

[young_atlas]

A bed isn't a bad thing. Still not great odds.

I think the lesson here is we need to make more intimate friends if we can't even count on the significant other teams.

[inspiteful]

I think it's more about what sort of things a unit values and how they negotiate differences between themselves. Like, I want to say we can count on significant other teams, but we're not the only ones they have, and it's not always easy to predict how a discussion about it may go.

... In any case, how someone values a friendship doesn't always mean we'll be their top priority.

[young_atlas]

True, but that's the whole intimate part. Then you have a better idea of how they think and how they relate to others.

[inspiteful]

Mmm. That might help, at least.

... I guess it's just hard to say for sure because most choices are made as unit.

[young_atlas]

So someone can be an odd man out, but still, might know how odd they are.

[inspiteful]

Basically, yeah.

[young_atlas]

I should probably be more social anyway.

[inspiteful]

Oh, haven't spoken to many people yet?

[young_atlas]

I mean, I talk to people.

But like. Beyond small stuff isn't a lot.

[inspiteful]

Hmm... Well, I've seemed to have made friends by offering to do things together with them, so...

[young_atlas]

I mean, I can do stuff. Its-

Not a conversation for now.

[inspiteful]

... Yeah, okay.

So, how do you want to brace for our impending fate?

[young_atlas]

....don't know. I should have a method, but...
