Murder Mysterium - Heart Soldier Senshi

[ 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.”

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?

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?

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.

[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?

Yes.

[No hesitation there.]

Playing to win means playing along. I'm not remotely interested in playing along.

[okay. Deep breath!]

Okay. Hurricane will try to talk to the other teams then, I think that just leaves trying to pick a place.

Are you all right with that?

Me? Of course I’m fine with it.

It’s what we agreed to, right…?

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

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

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.

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

Then I suppose we should decide first whether protecting ourselves or doing no harm is our top priority.

[a glance at hurricane, and then at Alisaie, before looking back at him]

What do you think?

Our unit has suffered quite a bit in the last games - both in the wed game and the one with the stuffed dolls. If I am to be honest, I would like to be able to protect you. Nothing too extreme. At most, I would choose a weapon so that we might defend ourselves.

But not at the expense of the values that you all hold precious to you.

Could I guarantee I -- or anyone else who wished -- would be the ones engaged in fighting, I think the answer might be a little simpler.

Yeah. We didn’t promise we were always going to sacrifice ourselves.

[she exhales and pull then pinches the bridge of her nose.]

I’m… a little torn, and I don’t like it.

[He's in murder mystery clothes, apparently]

I mean... it ain't impossible.

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

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...

Edited 2021-05-15 16:29 (UTC)

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

Only problem is, do we trust the new teams to hold to it?

Cause everyone else has made it work before, but the new guys seem kinda, like... y'know. Stab-happy.

It’s better than not trying, isn’t it?

Though it might make some units more… uh, susceptible to stab happy units.

Yeah. Makes whoever agrees to go along more open.

I guess, do we wanna give it a go, or do we wanna...?

[He heard that conversation with Zhongli, okay]

…

[inhale, exhale.]

We should try. We don’t have to give any clue where we’re going— which is just as well, since we’re not decided on that.

If we don’t, I think we’ll end up regretting it.
