POISON: avante en garde

[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. ]

Two doses, and three of us
I don't mind taking one

[ Grimacing. ]

Truly, I despise the producers.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Oh shit, I'm stuck with you fuckers this time. This'll be fun.

[gemuinemanagement]

Hi again
Do you have any thoughts about strategy

[heavyliesthecrown]

It begs how many rounds there shall be. I imagine at some point we will all have the lucky chance.

[ . . . ]

Please be frank, Robin-san, what are your thoughts regarding the game? We truly need to decide our best strategy and what we are able to stomach.

[gemuinemanagement]

[Well, to be honest...]

I want to protect you
Which would mean keeping the antidote, right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[heavyliesthecrown]

Hmph. We are an excellent unit to be paired up with.

It seems this is not anything new for you, however.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Keep the antidote, don't give a fuck who you wanna poison.

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

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

[gemuinemanagement]

Okay
That's fine with me

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ He sighs. ]

That is precisely the kicker. At the same time, I do dislike the idea of sending poison to another unit. I wonder how kindly the other units shall play? And if it is possible to stay our hand for the opening, and see how to move forward from here.

That is a bit of a risk, however. I do not believe that LiliS will raise its hand to us in this match, at the very least.

[gemuinemanagement]

LiliS definitely won't poison us
But they're only one unit
And I don't want to put you at risk

If it was just one dose I would be okay with keeping the water
But it needs two doses
And I don't think Valor will drink if we don't keep the antidote so that won't work

Re: DISCUSSION

[heavyliesthecrown]

You are so quick to resort to the poison.

[ He sighs. ]

. . . . Do you believe that Avante and Bad End will be targetted quickly?

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

It's not about whether anyone's out to get us, it's the fucking principle of the thing.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Some part of me would like to believe that sensitIV may avoid us as well. While Amaranth-san is not here, they are not aware of that fact. And while I do not believe I am the first priority to Izanagi-san and all of sensitIV, we are friendly, nonetheless, and Quetzal-san is there. He used to be one of us, after all.

I do not trust ☆ZRAEL to hold their hand against us. And BARiTONES will play to survive.

Re: DISCUSSION

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ Squaring his shoulders off. ]

What, exactly, do you mean? Simply because that is what the Producers desire of us?

[gemuinemanagement]

If Baritones will definitely keep the antidote
Then sending them the poison wouldn't hurt them, right?
And we could keep our antidote and protect ourselves

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . Yet I wonder how many will have that same thought process. If everyone gangs up on BARiTONES, will they not be overrun?

To be fair, I believe most of these units will likely keep their antidote.

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

No, it's about not being a dumb motherfucker and looking out for your unit.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[thumbs up]

Pleasure working with you.

[gemuinemanagement]

That's a good point
I don't know if one antidote can counter a whole bunch of poisons

Okay
Is there a unit you don't like?

Re: DISCUSSION

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ Bristling ]

There are times when a unit can afford to stay their hand, you know.

[ Nnggg. ]

But even I do not believe any of the units present will choose not to pass along a poison. Which means it is a matter of picking an unfortunate unit.

Is there a unit present that you would prefer to avoid?
