Lesser of Two Evils: ROUNDS 3-6

[idolpro]

You are in a simple, empty room—but a larger one this time.

Slowly, idols from varying units filter in, until all of you (or all of you who remain) are gathered together once again.

...And once again, in front of you are two white doors.

[ hello all. she's got a bunch of tentacles sprouting out her back and poking around, but she keeps smacking at them to stick closely. ]

...huh. Didn't expect to see other people here.

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[scattershot]

No, nor I. Is this usual?

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[420blazeit]

I thought it was just going to be us, NGL.

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[scattershot]

So did I. I can only presume they're hoping we'll turn to arguing...?

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[420blazeit]

Maybe? This one kind of seems like a no brainer too.

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[scattershot]

They all have, so far.

... one thing does surprise me, though. I was expecting that our routes would be more - personal. Yet, here we all are.

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[420blazeit]

...yeah. I kind of thought that at the beginning. Like they could be tailored to us, specifically. But that could take forever for them to set up since we're all so different. I'm kind of glad it's just this. I think it's been a cute, chill game so far. [ one of the tentacles is reaching out to her. ]

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[scattershot]

I only hope we can keep it so. The theory seems to have held thus far.

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[pyromagiac]

[ . . .tentacles . . . ??????

ae. . . gir? hm

sheep girl is staring at the tentacles. :o ]

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[420blazeit]

Hey. [ she notes the staring and looks back at the tentacles. ] ...I know they might look a little, ah, ew, [ TENTACLES LOOK AFFRONTED AT THAT... SOEMHOW. ] but they're good tentacles. [ she reaches back to pet one, trying to keep her composure as best she can. ] I promise they won't hurt you.

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[pyromagiac]

—oh!

I'm sorry, staring was rude! I didn't mean to—er, I'm not afraid!

I don't see many Aegir people here, so I was a little surprised! That's all. I'm sorry for staring . . .

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[420blazeit]

I- It's alright! I, ah, it's just a little embarrassing. I didn't mean for them to come out they kind of just... did... [ ??? ] Aegir? What's that? Er, who's that? [ one of her tentacles is reaching out toward her sheep. hi. ]

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[pyromagiac]

[ robosheep is robosheep and just kinda vibing. unafraid of tentacle

meanwhile one(1) sheep comes emotionally to terms with the idea that either she's got it wrong or she has to explain to an amnesiac aegir what an aegir is

while she also has amnesia ]

Uhm . . .

Aegir are a kind of people? I don't remember anything, but Aegir have tentacles like you. . . Uhm, I'm a Caprinae!

[ with a point up to her horns ]

I don't think every Caprinae has horns like mine, but we're distinct from Fortes by the curvature of our horns, and unlike Elafia, we always have horns.

Not every Aegir has tentacles—actually, I think . . . most people here might be Aegir? It's also possible that everyone else is part of a people that I'm not familiar with . . . But in any case, tentacles are definitely a trait of Aegir.

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[420blazeit]

...huh. I don't think I'm an Aegir though. I mean, like, I guess I still could be if you think most people are them, but I didn't always have them. I got them here, they're... a corruption. But because I've had them so long I think they've more or less just become a part of me. [ since a dip in the heaven water hadn't rid her of them. ]

But I like your horns. [ they're cute. ]

[ the other tentacles all start reaching, one of them rising to try to touch the horns that d.va just said she liked. ]

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[pyromagiac]

[ she is small enough (4'9"!) and also uncautious enough that dva can just touch her horns. she's busy puzzling this over ]

A corruption? What is that? . . . What would you call your race, if you're not an Aegir?

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[420blazeit]

[ OH NO SHE FUCKEN ADORABLE. the tentacle traces one of her horns as d.va hums, thoughtful. ] Human. Formerly. I think I'm mostly demonic now that I have, ah, [ tries to count. ] at least half a dozen corruptions. [ a kind of pathetic laugh follows. ] I didn't always look like this. [ she smacks at the tentacle, causing it to reel back, but another reaches out to try to do a touch. ]

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[ice_69]

[tentacles :o

just openly staring]

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[420blazeit]

[ /////////// ]

...they, ah, came out by accident, but they won't hurt you! Promise.

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[ice_69]

I, um! I wasn't really scared that they would.

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[420blazeit]

...oh, well, uhm, good! [ one of them peers around d.va to reach out to her. ]

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[ice_69]

[very carefully holding out a hand close to it, like one might for a strange animal]

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[420blazeit]

[ she does her best to keep her shit together, but the moment it touches her hand a splash of pink colors her face. she offers a crooked smile as the slimy thing tries to coil around her wrist. it's kind of soft, but still somewhat sturdy feeling. ] H- Heh. Kind of, ah, c- cool, right...

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[ice_69]

[lets the tentacle grab her wrist, staring at it in wonderment

though she does then glance at d.va and,]

...Are you all right?

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[420blazeit]

I, yeah, I'm fine! Just... always a new experience to meet new people. [ or something. ] I'm D.Va, by the way. [ raises her hand in the most awkward wave imaginable. ]

Re: ROUND 3: Discussion

[ice_69]

It's nice to meet you! I'm Orchid.
