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.

We have already decided on Bad End, Dead End. There is no reason we cannot make another attempt.

[ He does not speak as to the other units. It is not his voice that holds sway in those matters. ]

[sunflowering]

Then we continue to vote for Bad End, Dead End.

[ But the rest. . . ]

. . .

[ Lifting a hand to scrub at her eyes. She can't ask Shu to vote for LiliS. Not if they avenged him in the past. And she doesn't want to make Okami give up someone important to him too.

Which means. . . ]

We need to pick two more.

[ Ah. Her eyes are burning now despite how she scrubs at them ]

O-Okami-san...? If you pick one, then... then I can pick the other.

[bluerosestyle]

I don't want to be like this, but... if we've come this far and we die now, I feel like it would be an insult to everyone we attacked in the past in order to survive.

If you need me to say it, I'll say it. pep pep can be another unit.

[sunflowering]

[She's outright crying now, but she grabs his sleeve and shakes her head.]

N-No. I don't want to hurt Heart Soldier Senshi, but if I had to pick one out of the two... I-I would want to protect Pep.

[bluerosestyle]

...

I'm sorry again, Kaguya...

[sunflowering]

[Shaking her head]

We can't do it, okay? We absolutely can't...

[bluerosestyle]

. . . Of course I don't want to do it, but... when everyone else is putting their own loved ones in danger, how can I possibly ask them to spare my girlfriend's unit?

[sunflowering]

Because I am also asking to spare Pep Pep. Almost all of my friends outside of Taisho... are there. I don't want to hurt them. They are all so beautifully kind.

[bluerosestyle]

[nods...]

[furrytailprince]

NO! You are not putting your special person on the line! I won't allow it!

[bluerosestyle]

I have special people on Taisho too, Okami.

[furrytailprince]

... no. I change my choice.

[bluerosestyle]

What?

[furrytailprince]

... I will... give up mine up. I want to... protect Sol's special person too...

[bluerosestyle]

Okami...

[furrytailprince]

I already hurt Kuzuebiko with my selfishness. I won't make you suffer too. I can... give something up this time.

[bluerosestyle]

I'm... I'm thankful, but... I hurt Shu too. And now you...

[furrytailprince]

I... want to protect Taisho. I've never done that. It's always about me... Maki was right. Let... me protect Taisho.

[ This one is going to wrap himself all around you. You are being hugged. He is not letting you go. ]

[syncintohell]

[ Shu gives him a sideways glance like— what are you doing— but does not pull away or fight it. He lets his head fall onto Baron's shoulders and remain that way, so he does not need to meet anyone's eyes. ]

[ididntsaybanana]

[ Perfect. He can hold you close to him like this, shove his face into your hair and hold you close to remind himself that you're still alive and breathing and that you're okay ]

[syncintohell]

[ This close, Baron can feel that Shu is trembling for all that he has been trying very hard to keep it together. but this is an improvement over the eerie dissociative behavior earlier, his form entirely limp then. For all that this is not a reality he wishes to face, he is still here, facing it. ]

[ididntsaybanana]

[ Yes, he can feel that which makes him wraps his arms around you a little tighter, just so you know he's there. He shoves his face into your hair again and just basically tries to fuse himself to you. ]

[syncintohell]

[ For all that he pushed him away earlier, he accepts it now. If Shu is crying, with Baron as his shield, the world will not need to know save for the small damp splotches that might not yet be dry when they hit end game.

Hopefully they will still be alive, such that the salt-water will not be ignored in favor of blood-stains. ]

[ididntsaybanana]

[ He will be your shield. And he will continue to hold onto you in an almost desperate manner because he does not want to lose you. So his entire body is wrapped around you in some form.

No escape ]
