POISON: Heart Soldier Senshi

[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. ]

SESSION ONE

DECISION

DISCUSSION

[idolpro]

[happydreamed]

...As I see it, there are three options. To protect another team while leaving ourselves at risk, to protect ourselves and try to minimize the harm we might do, or to play to win.

[assblasted]

[looking over the rules, frowning]

This is bullshit. It says it'll keep going til someone gets poisoned, so we should just poison someone asap and get the hell outta here.

As for the antidote, I don't care, I'll leave that up to you.

[happydreamed]

Ah, in that case - we should send the poison to a unit likely not to keep the antidote to themselves. Only a successful poisoning will advance the game.

[assblasted]

Which units would try to save someone else before themselves?

[happydreamed]

...Well, regardless of how we do in this particular game, making enemies of sensitIV and pep is a bad idea. So we shouldn't poison them.

[...Whether or not they'll know it's them who sent it.]

........I'm fond of several people on Lilis, but that would be the strategic choice, I think.

[assblasted]

How come? Cuz of Hurricane's boyfriend? He ain't here no more. And I don't know anyone on Pep.

[then looks at him SUSPICIOUSLY]

Probably, yeah but you gonna be okay with that? I don't want you to go crying into a pillow later if they die.

[happydreamed]

Because if we're later missing limbs from a game then I don't want sensitIV to remember that time we poisoned them. 'Tis a self-serving decision.

...If they find out it was us, I'll shoulder the blame. But if they don't, then I have no intention of telling them.

[assblasted]

We shouldn't be relyin' totally on any team but whatever, I'm fine skippin' 'em.

--but like hell you'll take the blame! It comes down to both of us! And it was my idea in the first place. If anyone has a problem with it I'll kick their ass!

[happydreamed]

...You're a wonderful teammate. Thank you, Bomb.

Re: DECISION

[happydreamed]

Keep antidote, send poison to LiliS.

[assblasted]

[////]

I just wanna get this over with. It's a dumb game.

Who do you wanna send the antidote to? Or are ya gonna keep it?

[happydreamed]

Keep it for ourselves. My team's safety is my top priority.

[assblasted]

. . .if that's what you want. Just don't regret it, alright?

[happydreamed]

I won't. Besides, the team I would want to protect will likely be keeping their antidote for themselves, so there's no need to worry over them unduly.

[assblasted]

ZRAEL, right? Yeah, I figure they actually have a braincell or two over there.

[happydreamed]

Naturally. And if not I'll severely scold the lot of them after this.

RESULT

[idolpro]

[ Your water and poison disappear. A vial of red liquid appears in its place. A tape recorder striped BAD END=DEAD END grey and avante en garde gold appears with it, and automatically begins to play back a voice:

"Let's get this done fast, then. Who d'you wanna fucking poison?" ]



[ You have TWO DOSES of antidote and TWO DOSES of poison to drink. Poison effects can be found here. ]

[happydreamed]

...So much for hoping they wouldn't know who the poison was from.

[Drinks the first dose of poison, then the first dose of antidote. Feeling fine.]

[assblasted]

Haaaah. Fuckin figures.

[downs his poison and antidote

eta I CAN'T READ HE'S FINE]

[happydreamed]

Now we wait to see if anyone was successful or if this game continues for another round.

[assblasted]

Ain't much of a game if it's rigged like this. Why give anyone a fuckin' choice to begin with? We might keep goin' in circles.

[happydreamed]

There isn't the feeling of betrayal if we aren't given a choice. That's what they're after.
