War Rooms: BAD END=DEAD END

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

...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.

[justfuckingtryit]

[Thinking again real hard about the different kinds of debt, and what Nine said about people not caring if they die.]

...give it to SensitIV.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He looks briefly startled, but then he smiles. ]

....Thank you, Thorn-san.

[justfuckingtryit]

I can pay my own debts. That's all.

[And Cobalt is exactly the kind of idiot who would rather die than have someone die in his place. So.]

[motorcycle_noises]

....That's fair. Now, we should probably prepare for our own sudden but inevitable demise.

[ He wasn't gonna say it, but fuck it this is Thorn, he won't mind the macabre thought. ]

[justfuckingtryit]

[Definitely not; he is probably already taking his coat off, honestly.]

You know I'm in the hole from games? I've spent more on replacing clothes and getting healed than we've actually won.

[motorcycle_noises]

I'm not surprised, we suck at winning.

[ He's slipping his coat off, too. ]

I just bought this outfit. This is so annoying.

[justfuckingtryit]

[He's taking off this jacket.]

Same. This fucking sucks.

[Hesitates, then takes the gloves off, too, and the wrist band.. He folds the jacket and sets the other stuff on top of it, then puts them up against the far wall.]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He slips off his shirt and folds it over his jacket. He's pretty decently built for a teenager-- not super jacked, but there's some definition. He has an old but wicked scar on his back and a weird hand-shaped tattoo on his right arm, climbing up his hand... it's usually fairly covered by his outfits, but the tattoo is clearly visible now. There's also the burn scarring, he's never bothered to get rid of that. ]

Let's just hope it goes fast.

[justfuckingtryit]

[...ah, screw it. It's just Tatsuya and Nine.]

[He hesitates, then takes the shirt off - folds it and drops it on top of the other clothes. He's kind of a mess of scars under there, too.]

[That link is mildly NSFW heads up; it is a full scar map.]
