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. ]

One is exceedingly familiar with the manner of suffering this realm is capable of enacting. Of that one can assure you.

However... Tell one more about this contract of your own.

[sangreine]

It's just an agreement that we don't take games personally if we can help it, and that we all play to protect ourselves and our units and take care of each other after.

None of us has a choice in this, not really.

[cloudretainer]

[oh yeah. She also told someone she wouldn't take games personally. hm.]

[hmmmmm.]

To trust and be trusted would yield a better outcome than to betray and be betrayed, no?

Ultimately, we cannot control the actions of the other groups. If we choose to betray, we could just as easily be betrayed ourselves, and suffer more, as we could be trusted and suffer no consequence at all. And that is only if we manage to do it with both groups, no?

Do you truly believe that would be the safer option, all things considered?

[ Her expression fractures and reveals just the purest angst possible, seriously you could distill this shit into the strongest street drug of misery, but only for a moment before her sternness resettles ]

I believe it's safest for us. It's safest for them but most dangerous for us if we trust them.

I want to trust them, but... I'm not keen to live two of my worst nightmares at once all over again.
