War Rooms: avante en garde

[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. ]

Is the goal of the game to die or to be saved? If it's the latter, probably not.

[composeur]

That's true~ Well, it was an idea anyways.

So? Are you the same as everyone else here?

[calmthefoxdown]

[ ? ]

The same as everyone else how?

[composeur]

"We can't protect everyone, so I don't really care who we protect, as long as it's someone I like!" Or something to that extent~

Well, everyone seems to have decided on Lilis though. Because they're likable, I guess? I get the feeling we're not as likable though, so I wonder if we'll survive?

[calmthefoxdown]

Oh, I would vote to protect Wild City or AlcheME. My brother is on Wild City, and two of my closest friends here on AlcheME. But my vote's just one vote, and I'll respect majority rule.

[composeur]

Ahhh, that's right! That wizard said that you were his knight. Gold~ Isn't it?

Would any of them protect us, do you think?

[calmthefoxdown]

If they're playing, there might be a vote for us, but I think my brother's would get overruled. I don't know about AlcheME though. There's a chance, but just a chance.

[composeur]

A chance? I'm curious~ That wizard team is really interesting~ How do they play games like these usually?

[calmthefoxdown]

I... haven't really paid attention. It's been a while since there's been a game like this, actually.

[composeur]

I see, I see~ Then how about a simpler question? Would you consider them our allies?

[calmthefoxdown]

It'd be a little foolhardy to consider an entire unit allies, given that the composition of a unit can change at any time. I have two friends on the unit, but I wouldn't extend that to the whole unit.

[composeur]

Ahh, that's true too! Allies can change in the blink of an eye, and the fields of war can shift in an instant. Loyalties change, and Kings fall~ Human beings are fickle after all.

But just because alliances change doesn't mean that they're worthless. It just means you have to stay ahead of everyone else.

[calmthefoxdown]

How would someone do that?

[composeur]

I wonder.... well, it would help if we had some kind of spy!

[calmthefoxdown]

On other units?

[composeur]

Uwooh, that would be cool wouldn't it! But I was thinking something more like an informant. Someone who is good at listening and seeing everything around them~

[calmthefoxdown]

That'd be useful, but wouldn't someone like that be operating specifically for their own unit over anyone else's?

[composeur]

No, no, I'm not saying we should have someone on every unit! Even though that would be cool, that's too many people to trust isn't it~? I'm saying we should gather information~ Someone who's good at getting to know other people, and someone who's good at getting others to open up, or even just someone who's good at listening to and retaining information~ A creepy guy like that~

[calmthefoxdown]

Oh... that would be useful to just... know things. I think not knowing anything for certain hurts us more than helps.

[composeur]

It would be useful to know things, wouldn't it! WAHAHA!!

I'm good at meeting people, but to be honest I'm not too good at people themselves. Or maybe they're not too good with me? But I keep asking and no one here seems to be confident that anyone will actually save us! That's really bad, isn't it? Are we all really that bad at people?

[calmthefoxdown]

... Yeah, I'm pretty sure we are.

[composeur]

... that's okay. It can't be helped. We're "Knights", after all. Upright and unbending. We are the way we are, so we have to find a way to fight in our own way.

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Blinking, that's. Kind of cool? You said a cool thing? ]

Ah... right.
