War Rooms: sensitIV

[idolpro]

[This room might be a nice, slightly whimsical surrounds to talk things over with, if it weren't for the collars and countdowns on your phones. ]

[backstory]

[Leviathan's expression is grim upon his arrival. Surprise quickly fades into understanding. So this is one of those unpleasant games everyone has spoken about before. He isn't happy, but then no one must be. He tugs uncomfortably at the collar around his throat-- of course, it won't just come off, but the reminder that it is there weighs heavy on him. It matches the collars that decorate his unimates, too.

. . . ]

I know everyone must have someone on a different unit they want to save. So I'll just get right to mine. I want to save Heart Soldier Senshi.

[bevoted]

[ ... considering Levi for a good long moment ]

Is there someone on that team you're protecting in particular?

[backstory]

[He nods grimly]

Two people. The princess-- Hiryuu. She is my master from my own world.

[He's realized this from the few memories he's seen so far, as well as what he has learned from her and his comrades from home. I]

I am..sworn to protect her. But also the life of my brother, Abi, resides there too.

[Of course it's selfish, he realizes, but--]

I...want to protect them.

[Both his hands fist at his sides, fangs grit.]

I know everyone is in the same boat as myself, but. [Please. Please, he hopes someone else here has someone important on that team too.]I will offer anything of mine or myself to protect them.

[bevoted]

...... what? [ wait, ]

You're... not another one of those "dragons", are you? [ that would explain the hand. ]

[backstory]

[He nods-- and will lift his hand up, even though he's aware his unit has already made note of it in the past.]

I'm the White Dragon, Hakuryuu. I learned that one of my other brothers, the Green Dragon, had been here in the past, too.

[bevoted]

......... [ lord. give him a second to do the mental math ]

How many of you are there? ... that princess is really popular. I'm kind of jealous. [ not of hiryuu, but of her dragons, but. he's not going to bother specifying. ]

[backstory]

[ . . . That earns the faintest of smiles.]

I am not surprised that my master would elicit the respect of others outside of us. She is radiant...

[The best of the best]

As far as I know, there are four... maybe five of us dragons in total. White, Yellow, Blue, and Green. The Black dragon here... I have my doubts about him being an actual dragon or not.

[He keeps getting trolled by him...]

But he's still a companion from home, too.

[sancrimony]

. . . Mmm, naturally you would want to protect her.

[backstory]

My brother, too.

[Of course Yona is no surprise to Lucifel though.]

[sancrimony]

Your brother. . . ?

[backstory]

[He nods lightly, eyes closing.]

Abi. Though I know him more as Seiryuu. He is the Blue Dragon.

[sancrimony]

[ pales, just a little ]

. . . I see.

Mmm, it's understandable that you would want to protect him.

[backstory]

Have you met him in the past?

[forgottenmercy]

Heart Soldier Senshi is, ah, well-liked, so...

[backstory]

. . . You believe that another team will come to their rescue?

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, believe so.

[backstory]

[ . . . But- ]

Which teams? Are you sure there are others close enough to them that they would prioritize them to the exclusion of others?

Outside of our own unit, I don't know how the other units regard one another. And even within this unit, I'm unsure what our relationship is like to the other teams here.

[forgottenmercy]

I could not, ah, name a specific team: I am not sociable and I...am not as informed as I should be.

But I do know that they are liked.

[backstory]

I...remain incredibly worried.

[floriographys]

I wouldn't worry about them, honestly. As Persephone said, they are well-liked. Mars and Primrose are also on that team, and I know they have those who would defend them. We should put our defense on teams that are less likely to get it.

[backstory]

. . . I am just worried that other units would perhaps do the same thing.

[Choose the other units that don't seem to be as popular.]

[floriographys]

They won't, not to worry.

Majority will rule, and the majority won't choose us or Wild City over their lovers.

[backstory]

[He rubs his nose, fighting back a sneeze. A cold is a terrible thing to have in a moment like this.]

I have a feeling we are at the bottom of the totem pole.

[Though he has no doubt that there are at least some who are worried for his safety, and likely the safety of others here, too.]

. . . I'm honestly at the mercy of your own knowledge regarding these games. I don't know enough about the various relationships and politics yet.

[floriographys]

We are... either the bottom or quite close, it feels like.

I don't want you to be at my mercy of course... I'd really like it for you to form your own opinions, too. I'm definitely no expert, I just... I'm trying to think of the future. Who we choose will send a message.

[backstory]

Will everyone know who decided to save who after it is all said and done? Or will it be left up to guesswork and which teams are honest about it?
