POISON: future is now

[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. ]

Well, you probably have a better sense for it than me, for who'd protect themselves. I'm not really... a people-person.

Re: DISCUSSION

Haha, so the decision is entirely on me then...

Well. sensitIV will probably just leave themselves open, and they might send us their antidote because of Miss Aradia and Mr. Lucifel. BARiTONES and avante will protect themselves, but people usually care less about avante than BARiTONES, so avante is more likely to get hit by others...

I don't really know about BAD END or Heart, they've completely changed since I came back. And AlcheME! just sort of arbitrarily does things and has anger issues, I think? W and Miss Tea are gone, so I'm not sure about that either...I think BARiTONES really is the best choice we have data for, though it'd make Levity sad if he were here.

Re: DISCUSSION

Right. So in that case, not sensitIV and not avante. Cloudy doesn't care and the ☆ZRAEL girl doesn't care in the opposite direction by which I mean she thinks everyone's nice, so if we're going to send poison to anyone I'll just pick someone.

Re: DISCUSSION

[onemoreknight]

I think I narrowed it down, actually...AlcheME!'s a bad choice because if they get hurt and they find out who did it, it could be trouble for us. If Levity finds out we hurt BARiTONES, then we have to deal with that, and it might be really bad if they feel betrayed...

So that leaves the BAD END and Heart room. I, um, think I'm okay with that, even if they get poisoned.

Re: DISCUSSION

[trainphreaking]

...oh right. His... boyfriend? Husband?

But the logic all checks out, so I can get behind that. It makes sense, protects us, and doesn't... cause us any really big problems.

Re: DISCUSSION

[onemoreknight]

I think the preferred nomenclature is life partner but I'm not really sure. Maybe it's complicated?

Re: DISCUSSION

[trainphreaking]

It sounds really complicated. Anyway, the ☆ZRAEL girl prefers not Heart Soldier since she's got a friend and also a friend's boyfriend there?

Some days I'm not glad to be a widow but I'm at least content to not have to deal with that calculus.

Re: DISCUSSION

[onemoreknight]

A friend's boyfriend, really...

I guess that makes AlcheME! the only viable choice.

Re: DISCUSSION

[trainphreaking]

She said she'd take responsibility if they're mad, but honestly I'm used to people not liking me, so no need for anyone to individually throw themselves on that sword. Let's go for it.
