WED BED BEHEAD: avante en garde

[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, & AlcheME!. 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.]

DECISION

[idolpro]

Reminder: You must cast a vote for wed, bed, & behead. You may optionally cast a single Instead vote. If you use Instead, please specify if you are giving the target your best or worst card.

If you don't vote at all, your votes will be randomized and you will receive the punishment listed in the rules.

Decisions are due by 9pm PST.

[ fuck. ]

[softlyfalling]

[ oh that's bad ]

[deicider]

[Internal sigh of relief Cardinal doesn't have a horse in this race. They're not giving off any particular vibe.]

[purrrnicious]

[Immediately:]

We're doing 'wed' for Heart.





[And then pacing the perimeter of their room back and forth like pretty much any footage you've ever seen of a stressed sad dog/cat/rabbit/etc abandoned in a shelter.]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ There is some amount of relief that neither BARiTONES, sensitIV, or Taisho are here. There's a small knot in his stomach, looking at AlcheME! but... this is infinitely better than he might have expected. ]

. . . It appears that our options are before us. While I am loath to play this game of theirs, I'm not sure that randomizing it is any better?

Regardless, I have a preference of my own, but I am sure all of us have an opinion on the matter. What are you all thinking, dear avante?

I, for one, would prefer we go lightly upon AlcheME.

[unbr8kable]

[Just sighs, flopping down to the couch]

There gonna be any strategy to this or just some bullshit low-key emotional bullying over whose important people're the most importantest?

[worthathousand]

...Yes. We are.

[ well that was easy :)))
Amaranth is scanning the faces in the room now, looking a little distant. ]

[deicider]

[Cardinal pulls out a a notebook.]

I have no idea how any of the other teams are going to play. You want to vote?

[softlyfalling]

Well I think I'd ideally want to do the former. I think—well, hm.

[ she glances at the three units presented to them— ]

...probably, our question is whether we want to try to additionally protect anyone.

[worthathousand]

...Eclipse is here too.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I will feel sorry for the losing unit. Since it just seems cruel to make an entire team of individuals feel they are unimportant in the scheme of things.

[softlyfalling]

I'd not want to send them the worst kind of punishment, to be sure, and I don't think we should leave it to chance—we do have some people who care a great deal about Heart Soldier's welfare, so...

[ lilis though,,, ]

[unbr8kable]

More importantly, you think the others're gonna vote? 'Cause I think they are. And if we're gonna be held to whatever the decision is either way, may as well participate.

[purrrnicious]

No.

[That's it, that's her contribution.]

[softlyfalling]

I know. Shit.

—How do you feel about it.

[worthathousand]

Cardinal.




[ her voice is lowered, but her tone is artificially mild ] I'm not alright.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Is it best to put it to vote? Although, that seems somewhat cruel, too. Has one unit been winning over another one, of late?

I am worried for Skylark-kun. He is my first real friend off of my unit, aside from my senpai from home. And I have come to trust in him a great deal.

[purrrnicious]

[She would probably be able to spare a feeling here except all of her feelings are currently tied up in the many ways her wife is going to manage to do horrible things to herself.

Like 1000%, HSS will be using 'instead'.]

[gigadevilbreaker]

Okay, um. Shit...

How do we figure everyone else is gonna play?

[deicider]

Agreed. I brought a pack of cards, too.

[Tearing off a sheet of paper to give her.]

[unbr8kable]

Prolly should think about who's likely to vote how before just randomly throwing the "protection" dice. They're basically in there to throw a wrench into any plans.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Why should your choice take priority over the rest of ours? You are not the leader of this unit, Kohime-san.

Your feelings are not the only one that matters.

[purrrnicious]

I don't care. We're playing 'wed' for Heart, you can figure out the rest.

[Stares him down for like 5.6 seconds before she resumes her anxious pacing.]

[worthathousand]

And Cypress.

Ayumu. Even... Camellia. I saw them in the crowd.

[ that was not technically an answer, but, ]
