Heart Soldier Senshi

[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.

[he doesn't care about dying, but he DOES care about protecting HSS, so. . .]

Two.

future is now and AlcheME?

Re: Discussion

[dragonheartedgirl]

We can do that. However, if we make it to round three then we're going to have a very difficult choice to make.

Re: Discussion

[foolmetwice]

Yeah.

[. . .]

[he chooses his words carefully, because he remembers the spat they had the last time one of these games was ran, and he doesn't want to revisit that argument]

But we all knew we would.

Re: Discussion

[dragonheartedgirl]

Yes. ... If it comes to that, my recommendation would be that everyone narrow their choices down to one unit to protect so that we can be fair to each other.

[ like it sucks that we all want to protect everybody, but if this is how we're playing

then we can't

and we all gotta be willing to budge somewhere ]

Re: Discussion

[foolmetwice]

. . . either that, or we accept the inevitability of death and only hit one team this round.

[that's. that's an option, too]

Re: Discussion

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Raijuu would never approve. And neither would Haku--or a dozen other people she knows. However.... ]


... I bought Heroes Never Die so that whatever happens to me, I can keep going. I've been prepared to take that road for a long time now. However, for King's sake--I think we should choose to play to protect ourselves just a little this time.

[ she doesn't give af about dying either. ]

We can protect one of our balloons then, but what about next round? Do you think you can count on people not to fire at us? Two people have, and can't, and how many other teams are there? More than 3...

Re: Discussion

[foolmetwice]

[HI5 FOR THOSE WHO DON'T CARE ABOUT DYING!!]

Way more than three.

There are some I doubt would take a shot at us all, but that number is pretty small. And the last time our lives depended on the good nature of the other teams, we ate shit, so. . .

Re: Discussion

[420blazeit]

I'm all for protecting the team.

If we can't rely on other people, then we have to rely on ourselves.

Re: Discussion

[foolmetwice]

Yeah, but "protecting the team" can be accomplished in a lot of different ways. Are we more interested in protecting our lives-- which will be given back to us in the end-- or our hearts?

Re: Discussion

[420blazeit]

I think that's a question better posed to the class. We had a lot of people we didn't want to hit and it seems like you guys eat shit a lot, so that's the most probably outcome.

[ looks down at the spikes. ]

Re: Discussion

[foolmetwice]

[a wry smile]

I don't fear death anymore.

Re: Discussion

[420blazeit]

I guess we're going to eat shit then. One balloon fired at who-the-fuck-ever.

[ she's not keen on losing, but after that memory she's kind of run out of fucks to give. ]

Death can't keep me down.

Re: Discussion

[inspiteful]

...Give me a moment.

[ He's still trying to, grapple with how he feels about this, ]

Re: Discussion

[foolmetwice]

[. . .]

Yeah. I don't like it, either.

Re: Discussion

[inspiteful]

Why can't our hard no's overlap more...

Re: Discussion

[foolmetwice]

[just gives him a tired look that practically says this is why we shouldn't have made friends]

[but he doesn't voice that aloud because Hiryuu is here, and he'd rather not have that argument again]

Re: Discussion

[inspiteful]

[ I mean, Eclipse sure as hell feels it sometimes.

DEEP BREATH ]

...My closest friends are on Alcheme.

Re: Discussion

[foolmetwice]

[exhales a bit sharply]

C is there. So is B. And. . . A.

[WHATEVER THE FUCK A IS, AFTER THAT MEMORY]

I don't know what to do, then.

Re: Discussion

[crossmyheartandhope]

...I still kinda wanna do one.

Re: Discussion

[foolmetwice]

[tilts his head at Hurricane]

Are you okay with eating shit again, then? Because it's likely we will.

[personally. . . Mars doesn't mind dying himself, even if he'd rather the rest of his team survive]

Re: Discussion

[crossmyheartandhope]

One more's not gonna kill me. There's worse ways to go.

And least powers're off. So like -

[So it'll be quick, probably.]

Re: Discussion

[foolmetwice]

[. . . huffs a little]

You're a good person, Hurricane.

But you'll have to take it up with King.

Re: Discussion

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah. I'll see what he says.

Re: Discussion

[claps a hand on his shoulder, before stepping back. he's said his peace; he doesn't have anything else]
