[ The elevator opens up to a room spacious enough to house the whole unit comfortably, but with no furniture to speak of except a touchscreen podium near the far wall, displaying a row of four larger-than-life mahjong tiles on a red background. On the left side of the screen is a square that says TRADE. The walls and floor of the room are nearly checkered with metal panels, out of place against the rest of the marble flooring and unremarkable off-white walls.

The elevator doors close behind you. ]

[ what the fuck. WHAT THE FUCK. WHO TARGETED HSS WHAT THE FUCK

POUNDING HIS FIST INTO THE MAHJONG SCREEN. ]

Clearly someone is playing dirty. [ just about growls. ]

I wish we, ah, knew who.

They better hope I don't find out.

[ god, he's freaking out. he's mad. who got hit on HSS? who played that 8 tile? why can't he JUST BREAK THIS SCREEN ]

[will probably gently try to grab his hand.] Please don't hurt yourself. It, ah, won't help anything...

Loki-san, ours didn't go through properly.

Re: Round 2 Discussion

[bevoted]

I see that. And someone definitely played an 8, and unless I'm reading it wrong at least two units targeted HSS.

[ which is the most unforgivable act. ]

Re: Round 2 Discussion

[sancrimony]

It might have just been one unit.

Loki-san, our tile was accepted - it was a seven, after all. Two units had their tongues severed.

There's a fifty percent chance that the second unit was us.

Like, all three of the people we chose? And also us

I don't know...

Re: Round 2 Discussion

Did you really not expect this? You guys're real trustin', huh?

Re: Round 2 Discussion

Don't.

Re: Round 2 Discussion

Don't what? [ snaps. unfortunately his frustration lashing out in anubis' direction now. ]

Re: Round 2 Discussion

[rollwillpowercheck]

People are already getting hurt. You don't need to be added to that number.

Re: Round 2 Discussion

[sancrimony]

. . . . Our choices weren't picked.

Re: Round 2 Discussion

[forgottenmercy]

Someone went harder than we did.

Re: Round 2 Discussion

[sancrimony]

Every one of the units we picked went harder than we did, or as hard as we did.

Re: Round 2 Discussion

[forgottenmercy]

If they escalated this much last round...this next round might be worse.

Re: Round 2 Discussion

[artificialinelegance]

Man, that's fucked. That means they all chose more than us, right?

Re: Round 2 Discussion

[sancrimony]

Or exactly as much. At least one unit chose exactly as much, at least, as they played the exact tile we did.

Re: Round 2 Discussion

[artificialinelegance]

I'm glad I get to tell everyone I was fuckin' right all along. 'Santaaaa, why do you have a knife, no one's gonna hurt nobody!'

Re: Round 2 Discussion

[ are you as unhappy as i am because i'm pretty unhappy ]

Re: Round 2 Discussion

[rollwillpowercheck]

I thought... ours would be considered a high number...

Re: Round 2 Discussion

[sancrimony]

. . . At least, we chose well to know who else would choose the high numbers.
