Mukuro's Tournament - Round 3 - SEMIFINALS

[idolpro]

[ The room is plain and unassuming, as all the rooms you entered before are. White tiles make up the floor, lighting up with your unit's color when pressure is placed on them. There is a button in the very center of the room standing on a podium; it's slightly smaller than palm-sized.

On the far wall is a door. It is locked. ]

Alright, how are we gonna decide this?

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

Oh, you're beautiful...!

Re: DISCUSSION

[boomgoesthebirdy]

[ He flutters his wings slightly, a pleased grin on his face. ]

Yeah? You really think so?

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

Yes, I do. I... I regret entirely that I have not had the chance to meet you before this. I am so sorry.

Re: DISCUSSION

[boomgoesthebirdy]

That's okay, I haven't been real social myself. We can fix that after the game.

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

What is your name? Mine is Fox.

Re: DISCUSSION

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Mine's Aerxes.

[ He holds out his hand. ]

How about a thumb war? To decide who goes ahead.

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

[shakes it]

What is a thumb war?

Re: DISCUSSION

[boomgoesthebirdy]

We hold hands and try and use our thumbs to pin the other person's, no outside influence allowed-- just our thumbs. Whoever gets pinned for a count of ten loses.

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

Interesting... very well. May we do one practice round first? So that I can see how it is done.

Re: DISCUSSION

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Of course, that's only fair.

[ THUMB WAR HAPPEN? ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

[THUMB WAR HAPPEN]

Oh! That was quick.

Re: DISCUSSION

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Yep! It's quick, easy, and a painless way to decide. Now for the real round?

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

[fox nods, and takes a breath]

Yes. I will do my best.

Re: DISCUSSION

[boomgoesthebirdy]

I wouldn't have it any other way.

[ THUMB WAR THUMB WAR FOR REAL! (Aerxes loses this time, though.) ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

[PINS THAT THUMB!!! long artist fingers come in handy]

Ah...

Re: DISCUSSION

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Ahh.....

[ The corners of his mouth quirk up into a grin. ]

That's just how it goes, right? Do your best to win the game.

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

... I'm sorry. I need to prove to them what they mean to me. I won't throw my life away.

[he squeezes aerxes' hand before letting go]

Re: DISCUSSION

[boomgoesthebirdy]

You won fair and square. Thanks for the competition.

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

[he lets go of his hand]

I will find you later.

Re: DISCUSSION

[boomgoesthebirdy]

I'll look forward to it, Fox.
