3 way prisoner's dilemma (remix)

[idolpro]

[ The room you wake up in is barren. The floor, walls, and ceiling are all metal, and the only furnishings are a large television-sized touchscreen monitor and . . . glass chairs. That doesn't seem very comfortable.

The monitor displays a catalogue of pictures of flowers, each with their name, associated meaning, and a checkbox underneath them, along with the option to send those flowers to either group. ]

DECISIONS

[ On the left side of the screen is a sidebar with options for SEND, REVIEW SENT MESSAGES (currently empty), REVIEW RECEIVED MESSAGES (currently empty), and DESELECT ALL. You can send each flower only once, so any sent to one group cannot be sent to the other group, but you can send as many flowers as you like, even none. ]

[ Flowers you receive will be noted here. Flowers will be sent in two batches: at the halfway mark (1.5 hrs in) and at the end of the discussion round.

Bring your own toplevels for discussions! ]

[ Welcome to Lupine in Bad Game Mode, immediately going quiet and digging out his phone to pore over the rules, his mouth settling into a thin line. ]

—Great.

[stoneandstave]

[ Gent looks annoyed for a change, but he's still going to try and bring the lightness however he can. ]

The last one of these ended badly, didn't it. [ (Foul Toxins, he means.) This statement is rhetorical, just. Sympathy bro. ]

[sunflowering]

This place sure likes its flowers, huh?

[ Thanks she hates it. ]

[stoneandstave]

They really straining my love of plants to its breaking point.

[ "Hi hello nice to meet you" ]

[chasseurdebeaute]

The language of flowers and the delicate dance around communicating with them is mervellieux. I am excited to see what will be conveyed to us!

[at_heart]

[ —A slightly startled glance up from his phone, then a crooked smile. ]

Could be worse? Probably.

[ War Room games are his Least Favorite. ]

[at_heart]

Hey, now, that's not fair. It also started badly and middled badly.

[ Ghost of a smile before it's gone. ]

Sure do love how the only real win is to get the other teams to trust you while you betray them.

[ Is this the worst war room game yet, maybe. ]

[worldlyafflictions]

[Pink is flopping as comfortably as he can on a glass chair]

So are we aimin' for best overall outcome or best for this room outcome?

[sunflowering]

Aha...

[ A faint little laugh. ]

That has to be hard when you're a member of LiliS!

[stoneandstave]

It's designed to get the biggest reaction. Assholes. [ He rarely swears, so that should indicate his mood. ]

[sunflowering]

I admit I'm a little curious myself! If we die, at least it will be romantic?

[ Maybe if you force yourself to look at the bright side it's not so bad.]

Though I hope that what we receive is honest and in accordance with their gameplay.

[stoneandstave]

[ A tight smile ] I try not to hold it against the flowers personally. I'm named for one, after all.

Gentiana, it's my pleasure to meet you. Gent for short, if you don't mind.

[sunflowering]

Probably. Maybe...

[ Who knows what is in store for the losers. ]

But hey! I feel rather lucky. I've been grouped together with the flower unit itself. That's a good omen, right?

[stoneandstave]

[ Flicking one of the glass chairs and listening to it ting. Then he starts trying to play it like it's a water glass. ]

[ This is his thinky face, okay? ]

[chasseurdebeaute]

The tension of waiting to discover if trust has been betrayed.. the drama.. it can be quite enchanting. I can see why they would wish to put on such a performance.

But you prefer to trust and be trusted?

[sunflowering]

My name is-

[ A moment of hesitation.]

Freya. It's a pleasure to meet you, Gent-san.

[chasseurdebeaute]

Fufu, what an impressive ear you have for improvising instruments!

[stoneandstave]

[ Confusion about her name would ordinarily be a ??? moment but not in Imeeji ]

Hopefully I can make a good impression by not making this worse, hm? That's the best we can really do in these types of games.

[at_heart]

[ A soft snort, not immediately looking up from his phone. ]

All our options suck. Most of us are probably gonna want to go with 'trust both groups', but the worst, longest-lasting consequences are for trusting and getting betrayed.

[ His lips purse white. ]

Don't know that I have the stomach for sending out a [ tiniest pause while he checks the flower list ] red tulip and then betraying people, but I can get behind anything else.

[ He would, yes, very much prefer to send a red camellia so that they're broadcasting their intended betrayal. ]

[stoneandstave]

I try my best to lighten the hearts and ears of those around me in these messy situations. I think singing would go a bit far, don't you?
