Castle Game: LiliS

[idolpro]

[Suddenly, you hear the wailing of a horn. Outside, tension is turning to panic. You can't see anything, but you can hear people gathering up their things, sobbing in fear or speaking in harsh whispers. A lone voice calls from the distance:

The enemy approaches!

Upon the map, an unfamiliar geography appears -- several small nations, clustered together. Outside of them, an endless sea of enemy forces, identified only by a symbol of a cracked skull. Each of the small nations is marked with a flag in one unit's colour, and a tiny model of a castle.

You are at war. How will you protect your people and yourself?]

We can't steal from pep pep, can we?

[theyregooddogs]

They've been given three new bundles with this round, and they may get donations. But they may be targeted by other units.

[maleficafe]

Them, and maybe us, or Zrael, or Taisho, or avante. I don't think we should steal from anyone who has too few or too much.

[theyregooddogs]

We have one.

[maleficafe]

I'm still saying we should steal. But I don't want to pile onto units that are being made targets for their extra points.

I think we should steal from future is now. I'm less sure about Baritones, since they're not well-liked, and on top of that they have new members who just arrived. I don't want to put them in danger. We could steal from Heart Soldier Senshi... but I'm also not sure about that, because they don't have many points to spare. And I know Lily would object if he were here.

[theyregooddogs]

We're in danger.

[maleficafe]

Do you think I don't realize that? I'm doing the best I can, John. I want to protect Lilis and consider the people I care about on other units. It's not an either-or situation, no matter what the rules say.

There's no reason to steal from pep pep. I'll concede on Baritones if I have to.

[theyregooddogs]

And that's the reason your opinion wasn't being considered.

[maleficafe]

All our opinions are worth considering. You have no right to dismiss what I have to say. The same goes for Asphodel. He may be new, but he has someone important to him too.

[theyregooddogs]

He doesn't know what it's like here, so he can see consequences before making decisions.

[maleficafe]

That's not your choice to make for him.

[theyregooddogs]

I didn't. And yet we arrived at the same, strange.

[maleficafe]

Fine.

But if you keep doing this, I'm not going to let you protect me anymore.

[worthathousand]

[ momvoice: activated ] ...John.

[ do not be sarcastic with your baby sister!! ]

[theyregooddogs]

Haven't been protecting you for awhile. Not likely to do it again soon. So, go ahead.

[maleficafe]

Fine... fine!

[stalks off to the other side of the room]

[maleficafe]

[too late mom, lav is separating herself from this conversation and going over to sit with camellia, shaking]

[worthathousand]

[ Amaranth gives her a bit of a lead so she doesn't feel chased, but she follows after. ]

[maleficafe]

[after a few moments of trembling, she whispers]

I hate him.

[worthathousand]

[ she keeps her composure, but there's a flicker of surprise—brows raised a touch; a blink ]

Do you really?
[ her voice is soft, pitched low, and she rests a hand gently on Lavender's shoulder. ]

[maleficafe]

...

No.

[she bursts into tears]

[yourprintswillcome]

[ He appreciates your concern. And because he appreciates it he is also going to come over and place a hand on your shoulder to help comfort you. One would have to be deaf not to have heard this argument, but really he's fine with the way things have gone. ]

[maleficafe]

[glances at him, tears on her face, a little surprised]

Asphodel...?

[yourprintswillcome]

Thanks, Lav.

[ He squeezes your shoulder ]

But my stupid boyfriend knows what kind of a person I am. He'll forgive it and be at our dorms for dinner the next day.

[maleficafe]

Do you think so...? I don't want to hurt him.
