Castle Game: pep!pep!

[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?

[ rubs his hands over his face and just groans. ] I hate this. I hate everything about this.

Is... anyone else starting to think they have maybe... one idea?

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

I had a feeling the next game was going to be bad. It's like they cut us a break and lulled us into a false sense of security and just... [ he shakes his head. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[wonderlandgirl]

Mm... it's sort-of a pattern, isn't it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

Mm... [ he sucks in a sharp breath, trying to keep his emotions in check. ] They never make it easy.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wonderlandgirl]

I... suppose they think that would be bad TV?

[Was that a joke? Wednesday isn't sure. But... that is what they want from idols, right?]

Maybe... I think we should be really boring.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

[ he snorts, looking aside. ] Maybe. I guess they think they can draw a bigger crowd by trying to cover every good and every bad base.

Heh, that's certainly an idea. [ he's not sure how well it would work though. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[wonderlandgirl]

Let's not argue this time, Yugi-kun. Let's just do our best to help everyone else.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

[ nods. ] I... yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking too, but we'll need to discuss how we want to distribute our resources. We can either give all teams a little or one team a lot. [ n- not exactly like that, but that's clearly the idea. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[wonderlandgirl]

M-maybe we should just wait and see who needs it the most? But... Yugi-kun, I think we should start with Bad End. And we should help them every round, if we have to.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

HSS and FiN too. We all talked about protecting FiN in the balloon game and when things started to go to hell we... w- well, you were there. [ he looks aside, wishing he had tried to stand his ground some more. ] But I'm ok with sending stuff to Bad End.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wonderlandgirl]

Mm...

I'm sorry. I regret that, too.

[Wednesday sighs. She turns away from the table.]

Whatever we decide... we have to stick to it. It'll be exactly the same as last time, if we don't.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

[ nods. ] Agreed. We'll do what we can this time. [ offers her a smile... and then a hand to squeeze. ]
