idolpro | ROUND 6

[ the Brave is still here. looking it over with some interest ]

It looks as though there were a few more.

Maybe someone ripped them down........ [ following suit in reading it-

oh.

oh i see. ]

Yeah, people definitely ripped them down.

[ Lucifel gave me his so tearing this one down too ]

I wonder if that means any of my unitmates are around.

[ .... well, i guess we've armed the potentially most dangerous unit here so that's something. ]

I haven't seen anyone from Taisho yet. Not in this round, or the last one.

What use would anyone else have for them? Simply to disable us? I suppose I did spot Raijuu earlier.

... Lucifel took one. [ which at some point Yasuragi finds out himself, but ]

Likely to disarm you.

That wouldn't surprise me much, if he hadn't just handed it to me.

[ like he understands exactly what Lucifel is doing at any moment ]

Maybe his original plan was to disarm you, but then he thought better of it when he realized we were going to work together with you?

Well, I'm not complaining.

It's a bit inconvenient to have them hanging around. This would work well for you, wouldn't it, Yasuragi-no-Mikoto?

[ offering up the Gentle tapestry to him ]

[ takes it and unravels it to read with a raspy huff ]

So it would. Thank you very much.

Of course.

I'll be frank. What is your goal for this game?

Surviving, I suppose. And yours?

Protecting my unitmate.

[ a beat ]

You have already come to an agreement of sorts with Loki-san, I'm sure - but in the interest of your and his survival -

[ 'his' being pretty ambiguous, misleading - he really means lavender ]

- I'd like to propose an agreement for our mutual benefit.

[ cocks his head, a little slow ]

Go on.

. . . You're well aware of our powers. It's obvious, too - that with our numbers, it would only be beneficial to agree to work with us. In a game like this, being rest assured that, not only would your injuries would be taken care of, but that there are other bodies to buffer between yourself and the danger - one would have to be a fool not to agree. Moreover, you already have an in with one of us.

[ with a pause ]

But even then, there are two other factors that can't be accounted for. Maybe you can trust him, but you can't trust us - or rather, the person you can trust the least is me. I have no qualms with tearing down anyone in my way, including my own unitmates. You've seen that firsthand.

Therefore, I offer this: to danger that would stand in front of you in this game, I will tear it down. You, I shall protect and keep alive to the best of my ability, regardless of my unitmates' presence. For this game, and this game only, I will move to your will - and if it costs me my own life to make sure you survive, I'll do as much.

...

And in return?

[ he's not going to interrupt but hey

HEY LUCIFEL? THIS IS A LOT?? ]

Mm... In a different situation, I'd say it's too bad... But it's likely they weren't just put there for decoration.

[hi if you're traveling with us I should at least say hi]

[ I'm also taking this tapestry down ]

They most certainly weren't. I should be able to use them to our advantage.

Oh, yes... One of your unit's powers involve contracts, if I recall.

[What he sees of it looks like it could... count...]

That's right. We're officiators.

It seems like a useful power. Although, I'll admit I prefer sensitIV's healing...

Your powers are also certainly something.

[ definitely something all right. ]

I'm quite comfortable with these, but I wouldn't entirely mind trading, either.

...My apologies, but you don't really strike me as the type who prefers to heal.

[he says lightly with nothing meant by it

spoilers no one has actually... told him about what sensitIV did in The Trial...]
