☆ZRAEL & Heart Soldier Senshi

[idolpro]

[ Your designated room appears to be a modern but simple hospital room, with an adjustable electronic chair and curtain dividing one side of the room from the other. On the curtained side, there is a tray of basic surgery equipment, though nothing electric. That would be too easy, wouldn't it? At least(?) the chair has straps, to bind unruly subjects.

On the other side of the room are several chairs, what appears to be an iPad with a health chart listing a number of patients. You may select from a number of options to send "remedies" to those patients. There is also a pharmacy counter, though rather than a window, there is only a thin slit the width of a single piece of paper.

And of course, your patient(s)—or hostage(s), if you prefer—is in the middle of the room, though . . . strangely placed. A glass bubble, 6ft by 6ft, hangs from the ceiling, somewhat like an upside-down snowglobe. Eight tubes connect the orb to the ceiling, and one tube connects it to the floor. From above, your patient(s) can see most things in the room, including the surgery table even when the curtains are drawn.

It's currently empty—aside from your patient—for now. ]

[more to himself than anyone]

How long is this going to go on?

[happydreamed]

I'd imagine until someone drowns.

[coinstar]

[in a small voice]

Not that...

[happydreamed]

I'm sorry.

[coinstar]

It's not your fault... Do you mean one of us or one out of all the groups playing?

[happydreamed]

Out of all the groups playing. The games require winners and losers, generally speaking.

[coinstar]

So maybe we'll both be OK!

Re: DISCUSSION

[sangreine]

Who knows? Usually these things last three or four rounds, at least the rules don't say it's until someone loses their hostages.

Re: DISCUSSION

[coinstar]

Do we even have a strategy at this point? Like... what if we tried to balance the stuff you and Dia have to do with how much water is in my room?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sangreine]

We could take on some water voluntarily...

That means if the harsher remedies come in, we have to accept them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[coinstar]

That's... not better at all. Damn.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sangreine]

Exactly. So I think we should keep as much water out as we can, so if something awful gets handed to us, something we know you two won't be able to accept, we can choose not to drain that one.

Re: DISCUSSION

[coinstar]

OK. [deep breath] OK. That makes sense so I'll go along with it, but I hate this so much.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sangreine]

You can't think you're alone in that.

[ She's not angry, she's resigned. And miserable. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[coinstar]

Of course not. Just saying how I feel.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sangreine]

I know. I'm sorry, it's just... [ everything ]

Whatever those meds did to Dia turned her stubbornness up to eleven. I'll try my best not to let her get any more hurt.

Re: DISCUSSION

[coinstar]

[sighs]

The changes to the person are always just as much trouble as the painful stuff.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sangreine]

Why do you think I want to win? We'd theoretically get those reversed.

Re: DISCUSSION

[coinstar]

Right, so we just have to push for that no matter what. Easier said than done, but at least we know.
