AlcheME!

[idolpro]

[ The elevator opens up to a room spacious enough to house the whole unit comfortably, but with no furniture to speak of except a touchscreen podium near the far wall, displaying a row of four larger-than-life mahjong tiles on a red background. On the left side of the screen is a square that says TRADE. The walls and floor of the room are nearly checkered with metal panels, out of place against the rest of the marble flooring and unremarkable off-white walls.

The elevator doors close behind you. ]

Round 1 Discussion

[columbidaring]

... ...... Huh! How about that.

[liarliarliar]

How about that indeed.

[neigh_sayer]

Did he say he graduated?

[columbidaring]

Well. We figured something like this was in the works, but this is a little tasteless.

[afailedmurder]

...Well, blindness is the obvious play here. We should discuss which teams we are unwilling to hit. Aside from Heart Soldier Senshi, of course, I would like to avoid Bad End and Taisho.

[columbidaring]

I'm all right with avoiding them. I also don't want to hit sensitIV. They're the healers, so if they're all in pieces by the end it's extra bad.

[neigh_sayer]

Don't forget Avante! Our shining knight is there!

RESULT

[idolpro]

[ A few metal panels open up, and metal appendages appear from behind them, clasping one person's head to hold it in place as two with spoon-like ends move in to scoop out their eyeballs like pieces of watermelon, sharpened to sever through the muscles holding it in place. The eyes are taken away with the mechanical arms when they fold back into place and the panels shut behind them. ]

[columbidaring]

[ so like on the one hand that is very bad for me and i am blind and I think i am probably bleeding from my eye sockets

on the other hand I did manage to save my FAKE, NOT REQUIRED FOR EYESIGHT, COSTUME GLASSES so like I can just put those away now

just stick those right... in a pocket. good thing I kept those safe. Good thing. ]

[nom noms pocky]

Heavy fatigue might not be so bad. Who knows what "unable to eat" could imply.

Plus I wanna share my snacks!

Re: Round 2 Discussion

[columbidaring]

Right? With fatigue they just need to take a nap.
