Taisho Roman Revolution

[idolpro]

When the game starts, you find something grabbing onto your ankle and dragging you under the ballpit until you find yourself sitting on a disco floor platform with your team. It is only being held up by eleven balloons.

You make decisions on a cool arcade machine where you can SELECT A TEAM'S BALLOON. If a character is blind or has no hands or smth, you can assume things can be read to you and you can automatically pick through your speech. Thanks, Alexa.

If you look over the platform, you can see a lot of sparkling rainbow spikes below.

[ With that decided, Shu steps away from the arcade cabinet. ]

Shall I input our decision?

Re: Discussion

[bluerosestyle]

[

he looks very not okay]

I can do it if you prefer...

Re: Discussion

[syncintohell]

[ It seems like Shu should have just turned around and input it, if he really wanted to. ]

For this round, I can stand the task.

[ To say nothing of future rounds. But he'll turn back around, and go to the arcade cabinet to actually input it this time. ]

...

[watches]

We're really doing only one?

Re: Discussion

[syncintohell]

I did not think you were particularly afraid to die. You are not someone I can protect through the mere shielding of your life alone.

Re: Discussion

[bluerosestyle]

It's not because of me.

Re: Discussion

[syncintohell]

Okami and I have already been through worse than the fate that awaits us.

[ Getting it together some, to stonily avoid the topic of the other two units they have decided to hit. ]

Re: Discussion

[bluerosestyle]

That doesn't mean Okami is okay with dying.

Re: Discussion

[syncintohell]

He seems to have forgiven Wild City rather handily for dispatching him through means of eating him alive.

[ He says, deliberately dismissive, for all that he is bracing himself against the arcade cabinet. ]

Re: Discussion

[furrytailprince]

[ Tail lashing ]

I have not forgiven Wild City! But it is Silver's team. That is all there is to it.

Re: Discussion

[syncintohell]

His singular presence is enough to override all wrongs done against you, and your life. So I had assumed your life was not something that held much particular value to you, when weighted against harm done to others. Is that not so?

Re: Discussion

[furrytailprince]

... it is only my life they want. They have never gone after Taisho directly.

I would rather protect Silver in that scenario.

Re: Discussion

[syncintohell]

So, as I said, your life is not of utmost importance to you. Sol and I, likewise, are willing to part with our own. I was not wrong in my assessment of your values.

Re: Discussion

[furrytailprince]

... You said I forgave Wild City. That is not true.

Re: Discussion

[syncintohell]

So you have not, then.

[ He agrees, but without intensity nor heat. His attention is mostly turned inwards. ]

Re: Discussion

[furrytailprince]

You want to hit two teams?

Re: Discussion

[bluerosestyle]

No, I was talking about the number of balloons.

Re: Discussion

[furrytailprince]

We can hit one team twice then?

Re: Discussion

[bluerosestyle]

...

That's what I thought, but now that you say it... that's not how it is, is it...?

Re: Discussion

[furrytailprince]

If we hit all our choices at once, we are going to run low on choices.

Re: Discussion

[bluerosestyle]

Yeah.

Re: Discussion

[furrytailprince]

What happens to our strategy then? We are going to have to target teams who are less likely to play for blood.

Re: Discussion

[bluerosestyle]

[nods] What I wanted was to try to get those who are more likely to play hard out of the game as quickly as possible... And I'm not sure we'll be able to do that anymore. But I don't regret having taken action against them as soon as possible.

Besides... I don't want you, Baron and Kaguya to die.

Re: Discussion

[furrytailprince]

I do not want any of you to die. But this changes our entire strategy. We can no longer merely focus on those least likely to cause damage. We are going to have to expand our options to other criteria.
