POISON: sensitIV

[idolpro]

[ The room is plain, white walls and white ceiling, except for the steel-panel flooring. There are three metal stands rising out of openings in the floor, each of which carries a glass vial on top. One of them just holds water. Of the remaining two, one contains a dark red, opaque liquid with a creamy consistency; the next is a relaxing blue, with small brightly glittering star-like orbs drifting through it.

Both have fancy but identical cast iron stoppers moulded in the shape of a shark plugging them shut. The only difference is that the red vial's shark is painted white, and the blue vial's shark is painted black. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

Simple but distasteful . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[drownout]

At least it isn't overly complicated.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sacrimony]

Mm. Particularly, since it's not like we can heal other people or ourselves from such an effect . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[outofoffice]

I forgot about that part entirely.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sacrimony]

. . . Do you have a preference, of who you'd least like to send to?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sacrimony]

Ah.

Ahaha. . .

Well, since it will go on until a unit is successfully poisoned, the question is . . . who to send to. . . ?

Re: DISCUSSION

[outofoffice]

Ugh . . . If we truly wish to send something, then . . .

Not Heart Soldier or Wild City, or--

[ ZRAEL, LILIS, BAD END, BARITONES, ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[drownout]

Our options are also fairly simple, aren't they? We have an agreement with Wild City, so if we send our antidote it would be that unit. If we send poison, not that unit.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sacrimony]

. . . If we want, we can . . . remove the poison from play, send an antidote out, and hope that we receive a poison.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sacrimony]

Mm, right.

Re: DISCUSSION

[outofoffice]

I would greatly prefer that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sacrimony]

As long as we keep this a secret from Nacchan—ah, Izanagi-san.

1/2

[outofoffice]

He's not here and doesn't need to know what happened in this game.

Re: DISCUSSION

[outofoffice]

Ah, but . . . if we choose to play to my preferences . . . then it's right that I accept responsibility if we receive a poison, isn't it? That's what a "responsible" person would say.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sacrimony]

Absolutely not ♪

Re: DISCUSSION

[drownout]

In any case, unless the vials come to life to bludgeon us, I don't think we'll be of much use afterwards. So the rest comes down to personal preference. If we want to prioritize ending the game quickly, we can simply open ourselves up to be targeted by sending off or discarding our antidote.

[Or by sending poison but does anyone here want to do that, really.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[sacrimony]

Mm, that might be the fastest way to end the game.

[ there's a beat ]

But, let's not tell Izanagi-san, mm?

Re: DISCUSSION

[outofoffice]

You're ruining my attempts at being a better person.

Re: DISCUSSION

[drownout]

As if we wouldn't play the exact same way without you here.

Re: DISCUSSION

[drownout]

I don't make a habit of reporting everything to him, anyway.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sacrimony]

Venti-san being "responsible"—is that something any of has asked of you?

[ with a little laugh ]

In any case, since none of us are particularly motivated to play any different way, we'll just take equal responsibility, mm? It was a group decision.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sacrimony]

Of course.

[ a beat ]

. . . And, Ani-ue should not find out either. Ahahaha. Or we'll get in trouble.
