Go Fish: BAD END=DEAD END / LiliS

[idolpro]

[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...?]

Comments

Round 1

[idolpro]

[Down from the darkness above, five cards descend into your fish bowl on fishing lines. Pick cards to keep, or write on each card which team you'd like to send that card to.]

[You have received the following cards:]

Parasitism
Starvation
Predation
Drowning
Vegetation

[...Hang on, what are you supposed to write with? Why, a marker that has been unceremoniously hurled into your chamber just now, which loudly ricochets against the glass floor of your chamber.]

[Enjoy!]

[reading over the cards, and then laughing wildly]

Holy shit! No fucking around this time, huh.

I mean, I don't know what the fuck 'vegetation' means, but judging by the rest of 'em, probably nothing good.

[ Casually ]

Well all these are shitty.

Re: DISCUSSION

[catnyap]

I believe it refers to a state the body enters, similar to a coma. You are technically alive, but essentially robbed of all the ability to do so.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stoneandstave]

Maybe either growing into a plant or, like, being in a coma.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

...based on the others? Possibly death by plants.

Re: DISCUSSION

[at_heart]

It says we can get them out of the game if we match 'em.

Don't really want to wind up stuck with anything, but 'predation' and 'paratism' are going at the top of my 'no' list.

Re: DISCUSSION

[catnyap]

Not experiences I'd care to try out.

Re: DISCUSSION // cannibalism mention

[at_heart]

They all sound like fun, but if 'predation' is anything like that game where they made us all eat each other, I'm opting out.

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

At least that way you wouldn't be conscious for any of the other shit, so that one's probably not so bad to end up with.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wonderofwonders]

[.................................well then. This one sinks in real fast.

All she can do is make noises. Words... there really aren't any for this.]

Nnnnngggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Coma means you wouldn't be awake to enjoy the rest of this shit, so I'm guessing that's not it. Otherwise it wouldn't be very fucking exciting, would it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Yeah, but death by plants how? There're so many fucking ways for plants to kill a guy, you know?

Re: DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

[don't mind him examining the cards.]

Re: DISCUSSION // cannibalism mention

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Shit, you think so? Yeah, uh, let's get rid of that one.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stoneandstave]

Depends on the dreams.

But you're right, I imagine it's something more grotesque.

Re: DISCUSSION

[catnyap]

That's a rather optimistic way to look at it, but yes. However, that assumes that there's someone willing and able to keep you alive while you can't.

Your body will still require food and water while in that state after all, even if you yourself can't provide it-- ignoring any of the greater risks that come with leaving your body unprotected like that for a long period of time.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stoneandstave]

Predation meaning we're the predators, or the prey?

Not that it matters, I guess. They're all shitty.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stoneandstave]

I'm sure we can all agree there! Just a question of what to do about it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

[deadpan.] Whichever way mortals think worst.

Re: DISCUSSION // cannibalism mention

[at_heart]

[ Tiniest blink, because he's not sure what reaction he was expecting but that wasn't quite it, before Lupine grins. ]

Totally possible I'm being too pessimistic, but I think this is one of those things where they're gonna go for the worst possible interpretations. Drowning and starvation are shit ways to die, but at least we know what we're getting there.

Re: DISCUSSION

[catnyap]

Passing them off on someone else runs us the risk that someone will have the other matching card and send it our way and we're stuck with it anyway, with no means to remove it.

Keeping it on the other hand runs us the risk that someone else has the other half and has either kept or sent it to someone else and we'll be stuck with it anyway.

However, keeping it at least offers us the ability to earn points, should we get the pair. Whereas passing them off limits that ability somewhat. The more cards we keep the better our chances are of matching them after all.
