Hunger Games: Session 4

[idolpro]

[ You find yourself in your respective unit's zone, with a mini-map on your phone, as well as your objectives:


Kill as many competitors as you can.
Destroy zones by breaking their statues.
Not enough action = We start killing you :)

Underneath the objectives is the number of revivals you have left, as well as whatever miscellaneous details about scoring points—killing a unitmate results in negative points, five units will be healed at most, etc.

The starting horn sounds. Let the games begin. ]

[ His grin goes very slightly sideways. In some ways, he kind of welcomed this today. He really doesn't do well with too much peace and quiet. Careful what you wish for, right? ]

Sure. And you can share any embarrassing stories you might have about Eichi.

[firstworldproblem]

[Precisely. There are probably more than one fighting buddy that he can make in Imeeji, though they tend to enjoy fighting to the death.

However, he's just an old, cranky man who likes to nap.]

Oh, I will.

I do respect him highly, Eichi Tenshouin. And I don't say that lightly.

[at_heart]

[ Since he can come back from death here, Lupine's probably completely on board with that. ]

Yeah? [ He's still getting to know Eichi, but he just remembers the speech on his second day, and... ] I can see that.

[ Some people are born leaders. ]

[firstworldproblem]

Then take care of yourself. And do be as careful as you can be.

While having a little fun. We can't be grave all the time.

[at_heart]

[ And that nets you a wink. ]

Oh, I'm always careful. [ Or, you know, he's always exactly as careful as he wants to be. ] But as long as I've got willing... playmates, [ a bit of an eyeroll at his own word choice there, ] I'm definitely planning on enjoying myself, too.

[firstworldproblem]

What inspires you to fight?

[at_heart]

[ —Heh. Pressed for time as he is, Lupine doesn't hesitate. Easy, even grinning: ]

Depends on what kind of fighting we're talking about.

[ But after a beat, glancing away but very deliberately not towards either Tenn or Eichi, he adds, ]

I heard LiliS could use a protector.

[firstworldproblem]

An Emperor does need his most trusted general.

1/2 gdi, i went up several tags, but not ENOUGH tags. no one to glance at *here* whee

[at_heart]

[ Okay, that throws him, kind of a lot. Lupine pauses, turns to look Emet over — carefully. He knows who the 'emperor' is. Even if he hadn't been keeping half an ear on your conversation with Eichi the entire time, which he absolutely had been, Eichi introduced himself as the Elegant Emperor. ]

[at_heart]

[ Eventually: ]

I told him I'd fall in line, as long as he gave good orders.

[firstworldproblem]

[He shakes his head.]

Not like that. The emphasis is more on the trust than the combat prowness.

[at_heart]

[ L, lipquirk. ]

Oh, I think it's a little early in our relationship for that much trust. [ Deflecting? Who, him? ] Though I'll give you, this is a hell of a team-building exercise.
