AlcheME!

[ 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. ]

[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.

[liarliarliar]

He certainly did. What a cute young man. Not my taste though.

[liarliarliar]

It's extremely tasteless.

Ah, I wonder if we could just vote for ourselves. I'd give blindness a go.

[columbidaring]

Now there's an upsetting hypothetical look into the future.

[neigh_sayer]

Same. He's not cute at all, totally bland. He probably got through by being a suck up.

[liarliarliar]

Well, you get by how you can with what you've got to offer.

[columbidaring]

[ checks phone... ] Voting for ourselves is out. Not voting puts it up to the random number generator. ... I was worried about blindness being really gory, but 'remove both eyes' is its own thing, so at least there's that.

[liarliarliar]

Well, let's do this without feeling or heart then.

Eeny meany miney mo~

[neigh_sayer]

I see! So he's such a lifeless no personality cookie cutter shell that the audience got off on being able to project onto him.

Aha, Li'l Bro is so smart!

[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.

[neigh_sayer]

Will we graduate with honors? Only time will tell. . .

[liarliarliar]

Not nearly as clever as my smart older brothers. But ah, some things aren't particularly hard to see.

At least he has his cute face to get by on.
