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?

No matter what happens we all have each other.

A- And even if it's a bit difficult afterward we're strong, all of us, and we'll get through it.

[She nods. Squeezes his hand.]

It's time we did that, too. It's all we can do, isn't it?

[ he squeezes her hand right back. ]

I know that these sorts of games don't really ever have a "winner", but, yeah, if we can keep some other from getting hurt, [ or dying. ] then it's time we did that.

I hope LiLiS will be okay. They always get hurt badly in these games. I hope they just keep everything, and look after themselves.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

Me too. Like FiN I didn't want to have to hurt them in the last game, but... [ hss takes priority. ] But I definitely think our gift will help, especially if they decide to play a bit tougher this round.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wonderlandgirl]

Mm... do you ever feel like some teams get hurt just because everyone expects them to, too?

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

Like... oh, they die all the time, so they won't mind dying again - that kind of thing?

Re: DISCUSSION

[wonderlandgirl]

Mm. Or... maybe not mind, so much... just that it's going to happen anyway, so why - waste it on protecting them when it won't work and someone else needs it just as bad...

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

I wouldn't put it past some people here to think like that, honestly.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wonderlandgirl]

So maybe all you have to do is get a... a reputation for losing, and it all sort of... spirals, I suppose?
