Murder Mysterium - Heart Soldier Senshi

[idolpro]

[ Your unit-colored alcove has its own seating—benches, rather than any specific number of chairs, line the green bushels. It's wide enough to comfortably fit all of your unitmates if necessary, though it's likely not all of you will be here at a time. You're aware, somehow, that the space is soundproof; you could say whatever you like here and it won't be heard by anyone but your unitmates.

At the center of your "room" is what looks to be a marble table, but upon further inspection you'll note that the surface is actually electronic, a touch screen that mimics the visual texture of marble. Here, you have a number of options of things to choose from, and you can even pull up a keyboard or write with your finger for a certain freeform answer section. ]

[vibrating out of her skin, honestly]

There’s no way everyone’s going to choose “no weapons.”

Re: DISCUSSION

[scattershot]

I can't imagine it, no. not when people are going to choose to protect what's important to them.

So, what do we think is most important to us?

Re: DISCUSSION

[adorabilities]

I didn’t see any of the other teams, so I don’t know who’s playing and who isn’t. So… I think it comes down to how much we think we need to protect ourselves?

Re: DISCUSSION

[scattershot]

I would assume for simplicity's sake that they all are, until we can find out otherwise. A unit missing a game seems to be the exception, after all.

Re: DISCUSSION

[adorabilities]

[she frowns at the table thoughtfully]

Yeah, I just mean in terms of if any of our important people are playing.

I’m gonna assume we’re all still on the same page about trying to do as little harm as possible?

Re: DISCUSSION

[leaveofabsence]

No. So if we choose that, we knowingly put ourselves at a disadvantage.

Re: DISCUSSION

[adorabilities]

Yeah, but it’s the only way to guarantee we don’t hurt anyone else.

Re: DISCUSSION

[leaveofabsence]

I suppose one strategy we could employ is attempt to go to locations we do not believe other units will be. Or where we think like-minded units may go.

But with the addition of the guest units, that might be quite a difficult task.

Re: DISCUSSION

[adorabilities]

It’s not a bad idea, though. The only risk is if other units try to do the same thing.

[He's in murder mystery clothes, apparently]

I mean... it ain't impossible.

Re: DISCUSSION

[adorabilities]

It’s not. But it’s… pretty unlikely. Especially since we couldn’t talk before.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... there's nothing saying we can't go back out, right?

We did it once, before. Talked it out and figured out a game so no one got hurt. It wasn't as complicated as this, but...

Re: DISCUSSION

[adorabilities]

If we can, we should try it. That’s a great idea?

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He's in murder mystery clothes, apparently]

[Honestly, he barely seems to notice. He's too busy trying to read through the rules]

...jesus.

Re: DISCUSSION

[leaveofabsence]

This seems to be much more elaborate than their usual.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, for real. I mean - it ain't unheard of?

But this is... there's a lot.

Re: DISCUSSION

[leaveofabsence]

You have more experience in games overall than I. What is your opinion on what our strategy should be?

Re: DISCUSSION

[scattershot]

It only truly gets complicated if we're interested in playing to win. Are we interested in that?

[It's a genuine question.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean. Are you?

Re: DISCUSSION

[scattershot]

Not particularly, no. That would mean we were agreeing this was reasonable. Wouldn't it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[leaveofabsence]

[ Humming thoughtfully as he looks at the options on the marble table ]

What a cruel way to make us choose between protecting ourselves and harming others.

Re: DISCUSSION

[scattershot]

If it were just me, I'd choose not to play at all.

Re: DISCUSSION

[leaveofabsence]

[ There is the slight hint of a smile at that ]

If it were only one of us, I can only imagine the kind of trouble we would get up to.

Re: DISCUSSION

[scattershot]

Perhaps 'tis a mercy it isn't.
