[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. ]

[ DEADPANNED, ]

Yes, you did a pretty terrible job with that one.

[foolmetwice]

Hey! I tried!

[puzzlekeeper]

It was doomed to failure from the beginning, and that's probably for the best. Everyone needs attachments.

[foolmetwice]

[flinches a little]

Now's not the time for a stupid friendship speech, King.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Every time is time for a stupid friendship speech, BITCH ]

It's as good a time for the reminder as any.

But for now, I'm more concerned with making our selection.

[foolmetwice]

Everyone is different. You're different. Hiryuu is different. Maybe I'm different from the two of you. Maybe I'm stronger when I'm by myself.

[. . . he doesn't really believe that, but. . . anyway]

We have a long list of potentials. [a beat] You never brought up pep!pep!.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ b u l l s h i t, but this isn't an argument he feels like having right now ]

...

It goes without saying that they're who I want to protect the most.

[foolmetwice]

[it's why he keeps shutting down with Hiryuu. as fighty as he is, he doesn't want to have this argument in front of everyone else]

Yeah. I thought so.

But if no one had brought them up, would you have?

[puzzlekeeper]

I wanted to hear everyone else's priorities first.

[ Which also confirmed he's the only one thinking of peppep....... ]

... But after that... yes.

[foolmetwice]

[. . .]

Dice? Hurricane said you guys used it before.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He looks up, surprised. ]

... You want to roll for it?

[foolmetwice]

What other choice do we have? Standing here and arguing for the next however the fuck long they keep us in here?

If you've got a better idea, I'm open to it.

[puzzlekeeper]

I—

[ He cuts himself off, clearly conflicted. He doesn't want to leave it to chance. This isn't like the other games. Here, random chance isn't as good an option as any.

But... they don't have all the information they need to make the best choice, either. In that way, it is effectively just chance.

...

He fishes out the dice. ]

[foolmetwice]

[watches King do that impassively, before he just lets out a frustrated sigh]

Stupid fucking games run by stupid fucking demons. . .

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Internal screaming that he's not allowed to make external screaming. ]

We just need to make our list.

[foolmetwice]

[sure he is, then he could win bonus points with Mars and Mori]

Yaaaaaay. We're almost there.

[SAID SO BLANDLY]

[crossmyheartandhope]

You know who I want on there.

[foolmetwice]

Yeah. Same here.

[finally pulling a cigarette from his pocket and sticking it into his mouth, like SMOKING IN A CROWDED ROOM IS RUDE, MARS]

[dragonheartedgirl]

My vote for the list is Avante.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[Holds up his notebook, reading out the teams

1 =avante
2 = alcheme
3 = pep
4 = lilis
5 = future is now
6 = wild city]

Is there any other unit we want here?

[foolmetwice]

[. . . MAKING A FACE AT WILD CITY, but not objecting]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[That seems legit.]

[Nods, slowly.]

[puzzlekeeper]

This is fine with me.

[ Aside from outright picking peppep but, y'know... fairness. ]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Nods her assent. ]

[inspiteful]

...yeah, I think that's all.
