War Rooms: BAD END=DEAD END

Nine-nine and I are thinking of going with either AlcheME or SenitIV to protect, though if you've got any other thoughts I'm up for discussion.

[justfuckingtryit]

...I'd put pep!pep! in the running.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He nods slightly. ]

That sounds reasonable to me.

[justfuckingtryit]

What are you thinking, about the other two?

[motorcycle_noises]

Both Nine-nine and I have important people on both teams. For me, I've got Nya and Anubis-san on SensitIV, and I'd also prefer to see Lucifel-kun stay safe as well.

[ And Loki, but he figures adding that name would go over like a lead balloon. ]

For AlcheME, Crow's very important to me... also, I'm fond of B-san. I also want to keep C-san safe, but that's honestly at least partly spite-based.

[ He pulls out his lighter and flicks it open and shut. ]

....Who are you thinking of for pep!pep!

[justfuckingtryit]

Cobalt and Sunshine, mostly.

[motorcycle_noises]

I don't really know Sunshine-san that well... But Cobalt-san's a really great guy.

[justfuckingtryit]

Yeah. Cobalt really is.

And Sunshine - I owe him. Twice over.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He nods slowly. ]

That's a pretty good reason, too.

[justfuckingtryit]

...yeah. So, anyway.

Those three. How are we picking?

[motorcycle_noises]

I don't know. I know I don't want to just leave it to chance....

[justfuckingtryit]

So drawing straws is out.

What criteria do you suggest, then?

[motorcycle_noises]

Trying to figure out who's most likely to need it? The unit of the three that is most likely not to have someone else jump to protect them.

[justfuckingtryit]

...AlcheME is well-liked.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He nods slowly. ]

Much as I'd like to protect them... yeah, they're probably safe. SensitIV's reputation's been pretty tanked recently though, I'm worried about them.

[justfuckingtryit]

What did they do? Aside from Loki, I mean.

[motorcycle_noises]

Lucifel-kun undid a lot of scars during the trial and I know that Nya had several conflicts in that murder island game... I think they're good people overall, but they don't react well to stress.

[justfuckingtryit]

I don't know any of them, not well.

[A pause.]

They've put me back together a couple of times, though.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He nods. ]

They do... a lot, honestly. I'm grateful for them. As far as pep!pep! goes, though... I can understand wanting to repay a debt.

[justfuckingtryit]

[Thinking something through - what Nine said about people not caring if they die, and about different kinds of debts.]

I don't know if pep!pep! is going to have anyone looking out for them.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He considers that for a moment. ]

....I know B-san's sister is on that unit, but I'm not sure if either of them are playing.

[justfuckingtryit]

[He didn't know that actually. But}

You think he'd protect her, if he was?

[motorcycle_noises]

I think he'd want to, given the option. They seem pretty close.

[justfuckingtryit]

And SensitIV doesn't have anyone else.

You're sure?

[motorcycle_noises]

They burned a lot of bridges.... I can't say I'm a hundred percent sure, but I'm very worried about them.
