Go Fish: future is now / WILD CITY / ☆ZRAEL / pep!pep!

[Your chamber is a large, glass-walled room shaped like a slice of pie. Above, the glass walls extend up into darkness. If there’s a ceiling, it’s impossible to see. There don’t appear to be any other ways out of this room, either.]

[Although the room is lit, you can’t see any particular source of light. You cannot see or hear into the other chambers where the other idols are, but you can still see distorted glimpses of whatever is on the outside of your fish bowl. What could be out there...?]

Dodged a bullet on the parasitism... but now we have three cards to make a decision about.

Drowning I... think is not the worst of the three. [ and he hates having to say that because there's irony in him drowning. ]

I don't mind holding on to cards.

... [ MY FRIEND. ] We don't have to send them all out, but we have a few objections to these punishments.

[He tried.]

...If that's what everyone else wants...

Envenomation is poisoning. Get rid of it. [ INCREDIBLY FIRM HERE ]

[ nods. ]

Honestly, I think we ditch them all. I guess we could get matches, but seems like a bigger risk if we keep them. We don't need a clean hand, just a small hand.

...

[ clearly someone's died to poisoning before. ]

[ NOT DIED JUST RAMPAGED, does a baby lamb kicking Venti in the face ring a bell lmao ]

...I haven't died yet so I wouldn't know.

...However, I believe the person who glows objected to the "immolation" card earlier, so... I think we should get rid of at least that one.

Alizarin doesn't want to keep the poison card, so how about we get rid of both? We don't have to double down this round and go for all three... but let's at least shed our hand of those.

...I suppose at this point it makes sense to think in terms of fates we absolutely don't want to endure, so...

...I agree with that. At least those two cards should be sent away.

Probably. ... However.... I think it's getting riskier. The other units seem to be offloading their worst options now. If that happens again, we can expect to get more terrible cards.

[ Like yet another set of parasites. ]

It's a gamble to keep them, but I wonder if more is better than less at this point....

...What do you mean?

Drowning is not the worst of them.

[ this game just wants us to be devoured by nasty bugs. WHY ]

Chances are this is our final round, isn't it? What do you think, should we try foisting off all our cards, or hope we get sent matches again this final time?

It seems like we have a few firm no[s] on fire and venom... but should we hang onto drowning or just throw it in the pot with the rest?

If we're going to hang onto any of them, drowning's really the only acceptable option in my mind. But I'm fine with whatever everyone else thinks.

[ nods. ] I agree. Out of our options I think it's not the worst... but if this truly is the final round and others agree that drowning is... nothing [ at least in comparison. ] then we might not get sent it.

I think we get rid of them. It's our best shot.

The other units seem to be offloading their worst options now. If that happens again, we can expect to get more terrible cards--if we get rid of ours, we might be losing our chance to get rid of bad pairs, or just ending with more potential layers of punishment. Either way... we're in a pretty risky situation right now.

[ she sighs ]

I'm fine with whatever we end up doing.

Everyone is in the same boat. Seems like no one gave out much the first round, and now they're giving out a bunch.

You might be right that keeping them is the best way to go. I don't know.

...That depends on the nature of risk that the group wishes to take on.

Personally? I'd rather go big or go home, so to speak. Playing it safe is only likely to land us in the middle and get us brutally tortured.

[ And she'd rather either win with no punishment or have the mercy of death. ]

But that's just my personal philosophy, anyway.
