[idolpro]

[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. ]

[digs his hands underneath the collar, fingers curling tightly around the titanium, knuckles white]

Fuck--!

[crossmyheartandhope]

Right? Tell me about it.

[foolmetwice]

Fuck!

[louder this time, but he doesn't pull at the collar, because even Mars knows you don't screw around with bombs]

What sort of bullshit is this?!

[crossmyheartandhope]

Playtime.

They pull this kinda thing sometimes.

[foolmetwice]

I've noticed.

[dry and sharp with rage]

Like fucking rats in a cage, huh. . .

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah. Pretty much.

[foolmetwice]

[. . . hisses another curse under his breath, before turning away to slam his fist against the wall]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Yeah. Yeah, same feel.]

[foolmetwice]

[HUFFS. . . then lowers his arm to his side, hand curled into a tight fist]

. . .

[he doesn't say anything, because his instinct is "DON'T PLAY BY THEIR RULES," but. . .]

[he knows that the others won't be down for that, when not playing means they forfeit their chance to protect someone]

[crossmyheartandhope]

So... so what are we doing, here.

[foolmetwice]

[a bit dryly]

Probably wringing our hands over all of the units on which we have friends and family until we finally settle on one, and cross our fingers that all of the ones we don't pick are protected somehow?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... that sounds about right.

[foolmetwice]

You can't say I'm not a realist.

[crossmyheartandhope]

This sucks.

[foolmetwice]

Yeah.

It sure as shit does.

[crossmyheartandhope]

So what're we doing? For real, I mean.

[foolmetwice]

[after listening to the list of names that have come up-- Bad End, LiliS, avante, future is now, AlcheME!. . . no doubt King will want to protect pep!pep!. . . Mars just shrugs helplessly]

Flip a coin?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Doesn't want to say it. Doesn't want to SAY it.]

...we did dice, once.

[foolmetwice]

[a small sigh]

I'm not opposed.

Works about as well as anything else.

[crossmyheartandhope]

The dice kinda sucked, too.

[foolmetwice]

Preeeeetty sure everything's gonna suck! No matter what.

So let's prepare for suckiness.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah. Shields 100%.

[foolmetwice]

Too bad we're not being given blasters to blow them into outer space.

[wags fingers at Hurricane]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Man, why can't we have that game?

[foolmetwice]

Because it'd be way too much fun and we'd kick way too much butt at it to entertain our captors.
