War Rooms: Heart Soldier Senshi

[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. ]

[ there are people probably way more fucked than we are. lbr. ]

How do you think other people will play?

[foolmetwice]

[still gripping his collar, eyes blazing in anger]

How else would they play? They'll protect the units with the people who are most important to them.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ rip sensitiv??? ]

Yes. That's the most obvious answer in a game this simple.

[foolmetwice]

[. . . .]

Bad End is going to get wrecked.

[and so are we, goes unsaid]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ YEAH.......... ]

That almost goes without saying.

[foolmetwice]

[hhhhha]

[his features wrinkle, before he turns away to slam his fist against the wall, shoulders hunched]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ BIG FUCKING MOOD

He's saving his own punching for later though. ]

Do you want to protect them?

[foolmetwice]

[. . . . . . .]

Yeah.

[a pause]

And LiliS, too.

[puzzlekeeper]

LiliS...?

[ Since when???? ]

[foolmetwice]

LiliS.

[good question!]

[he ain't answering it]

[crossmyheartandhope]

You know one of the new girls?

[foolmetwice]

["new girls"]

[hesitates. . .]

He's not a girl.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Hah. Well. Now isn't the time to ask about it anyway. ]

It seems this may be the only downside of our having so many attachments.

[foolmetwice]

[l o l]

And nobody listened to me when I said not making friends was the way to go.

[Mars didn't even listen to himself]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ don't be pissed at me

it's not my fault you're in a collar and poor prim doesn't even get to see you in it ]

Not everyone has to think that way. And some people can't--plenty of us have loved ones on multiple units. Some people might decide to choose units that are unpopular.

[foolmetwice]

[HE ISN'T, he's 100% pissed at Exael; Hiryuu gets none of his ire. and, in fact, he calms somewhat when she speaks]

. . .

Bad End is going to suffer.

[and so are we]

[dragonheartedgirl]

Not necessarily. If A and Crow are here, they'll want to protect them. ... My bet would be AlcheME will vote to protect them.

[foolmetwice]

. . . yeah. Maybe.

[he hopes she's right; that logic seems sound, anyway]

What about LiliS?

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ thinks about that. ]

They're newer... are you afraid of them being forgotten? Have they made close friends yet?

[foolmetwice]

I don't-- [. . . yeah, he's afraid]

I don't know. I don't keep track of their PR development.

[dragonheartedgirl]

You should. In a place like this, you need to be very aware of the people who might be your ally's allies and their enemies.

[foolmetwice]

[. . . he just shakes his head]

I have nothing.

[he's never really cared to pay attention to things like that before this very moment]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ it's okay. you've learned a valuable lesson today. ]

That's all right. ... My bet would be Future is Now will vote to save either them or Baritones. They're impartial--and they'll probably want to make sure they stay safe as newer units, the way they did for Pep!Pep!.

[puzzlekeeper]

... I don't know anyone on either team well, but...

It's possible they may choose to protect each other, for exactly this reason.

[dragonheartedgirl]

That's quite possible. And it would be a clever way to solve the matter, for both of them, if they're that in-tune. Does anyone but Mars know them well enough to guess how Baritones or Lilis might play?
