idolpro | 3 WAY PRISONER'S DILEMMA

[ The room you wake up in is barren. The floor, walls, and ceiling are all metal, and the only furnishings are a large television-sized touchscreen monitor and a massive pane of glass cutting through the room, separating Lucifel from the rest of the unit. You can beat against the glass as much as you like, but it won't break. Both the touchscreen monitor and the elevator doors are on the same side of the room as everyone but the hostage.

Once Mukuro finishes his intro spiel, the monitor display switches to a catalogue of pictures of flowers, each with their name, associated meaning, and a checkbox underneath them: ]

Amaryllis (Red&White) - Talkative
Baby's Breath - Purity of Heart
Calla Lily (White) - Maidenly Desire
Camellia (Red) - Perish with grace
Camellia (White) - Waiting
Cherry Blossom - Transience of all things
Foxglove - Insincerity
Hydrangea (Blue) - Heartlessness
Iris - Faithfulness
Lantana - Change of Heart
Marigold - Despair
Morning Glory - Willful promise
Mountain Laurel (Red) - Ambition
Oleander - Caution
Poppy (Red) - Fun-loving
Poppy (White) - Rejoice
Poppy (Yellow) - Success
Tulip (Red) - Fame/Charity/Trust
Yarrow (White) - Conflict

Oh come on, really?!

[ oh

well

that's interesting ]

Ah, the glass . . .

Lucifel-san...!

[fuck it this isn't going to work and he knows it but he steps out of his shoes, then picks one up, and slams it heel-first into the glass.]

[ startles, standing up straight ]

. . . Did that do anything?

[shakes his head slowly.]

Not even a scratch.

[ moving over to press his hand against the glass, where his shoe was ]

Ah. How unfortunate.

What about the t.v.?

[ he'll pick it up and throw it just give him the signal ]

No, we'll-- we'll lose our only way to communicate with other teams if we do that...

[ shit.

shit. shit. shit. shit. shit. shit. shit. ]

........... [ shit. ]

. . . Loki-san, please take care.

-- what the hell is "please take care" supposed to mean!?

[ he's already freaking out sorry ]

Because - the glass doesn't seem very possible to break . . .

[still sitting, demurely, but folds his hands in his lap white-knuckled tight, looking worriedly between Lucifel and the flower display.]

[well we're the two on this side of the glass who aren't yelling yet, so,]

It's-- there's still only one way to win the prisoner's dilemma. He's just trying to get us to forget that by upsetting us.

We have to, ah, stay calm, then.

[staring intently at the flower catalog, because having something to focus on is fucking key here.]

Baby's Breath, Iris...

. . . What should we . . . do?

[going to gently press his hand against the glass, at about the level Lucifel's hand is at. he's obviously trying not to break the glass. it's the closest thing to a comforting gesture he can try to make.]

...we need to, ah, be calm. And, ah, pick a flower to send, try to figure something out from what response is sent.

[ pressing onto the glass, too ]

Mm. But, will we betray or will we trust?
