idolpro | ROUND 7

Huh. This is what Mori must have been talking about.

[ fuck. ]

Hello, Yugi.

Nine-Nine.

[ he still doesn't know wtf happened, but he's about 50% convinced he didn't actually kill king. ]

Fancy meeting you here...

Still trying to play this game without fighting?

[ nine-nine... ]

Why? Going to change that?

I'm giving you a pass this round. Feel honored.

[ just. stares. ]

[ "honored". ]

What did you do last round!

I'll tell you at game end.

[And he's gonna try to punch Duality and fail.]

[ guess he's watching this "fight". ]

[We'll see if this fight actually gets anywhere....

Why is Nine Nine so bad at this?]

[ yugi's pretty sure he could do better, and that's just sad... ]

[Pretty sad. He can't even goad Duality into fighting because there nothing to goad.]

Well, if you want an uneventful round, stay here. But you are all risking a great deal playing nice.

[...looks up from his car building business]

... Nine-Nine.

[Sitting up on a pile of scraps. It's just like BE=DE dorm. He's got this without hurting himself.]

I heard you were on an eternal quest to get car working.

You did?

We never had time before we got put in new rounds.

[Pointing at the recently arrived Mori.]

He mentioned it.

So you aren't here for a fight, are you?

Not if I can avoid it, no.

[Sighs.]

Please, do I have to do everything?

[Using Eris Alert on him to see what emotions he's feeling. In general he's looking for any feeling - anger, determination, something - that would encourage him to fight.]

...what?

[he's calm, a little on edge and definitely on guard, and determined to actually not kill anyone, just survive]

[Bro. You don't even have any good feelings to enhance to make this easier. Okay, he's just going to amplify his anger which gives Duality a -2 precision, -2 strategics, and a +2 strength.

Hopping down to stand next to him.

And attempting to punch him in the face.... which he fails so feel free to mock him.]

[he's caught off guard but he still instinctively pulls his arm up to block that, and also taking a few steps back, narrowing his eyes. he's definitely more angry]

What are you doing?

Think of this like one of your little tournaments.

The tournament isn't about killing each other.

.... How the fuck did I get stuck in a room with 5 pacifists? You know that if we just say fuck you to the rules, then we just get back in that unfortunate grayscale state we were before. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd like to last long enough to fight another day for fuck's sake.

I won't even be mad if you kill me if that's your worry. Or is it just the act of killing that has you hung up?
