Castle Game: future is now

[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?

[Excuse Intensity while he is having a very rare moral dilemma as he is looking at the current scores]

[resonantblue]

Intensity.

[a very Purposeful Look]

I know what I want to do. Do you?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I don't think we're thinking the same thing, but go ahead.

[resonantblue]

Oh.




Silence wants to donate material to pep!pep!.

[justpure]

I was considering the same idea.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. Not the same at all. Pep!pep! is obviously giving away their resources. If that's how they want to play, they can dig their own graves.

But Heart Soldier Senshi was playing to protect themselves in the first round. And now they're not.

And there is no way that they aren't going to also donate to pep!pep!

[resonantblue]

Something about the way pep!pep! is needlessly donating everything is frustrating, so part of the desire to gift them material stems from that.

What fools.

In any case, another unit's tactic has little bearing on us right now. Do we continue to steal?

[justpure]

I'm not sure...

[They had five last round, and now they have nine... They get three every round...]

Someone must have stolen from us the last round... But at this rate we only need one more point to win.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

...What are you thinking?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Snaps his smug face back on]

Nothing that you'd like.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

I could tell that by the look on your face. When we're this close, you're going to risk our victory by giving our materials away?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

With the unit actually willing to protect itself, do you think I'd want to fuck that up.

[Even if he accidentally said something entirely different to Duality]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[raises her eyebrows]

I don't know. Do you?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'll play how everyone else wants to play. We're in this together, aren't we?

[asonoficeandfire]

Did pep!pep! give away all their points?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

They have to be trying to lose.

I warned them about Lilith once. Not our problem if they can't fucking listen.

[asonoficeandfire]

What do you want to do?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Give them to Heart Soldier. Since they will probably be gifting to pep!pep! and aren't going to protect themselves.

[asonoficeandfire]

[nods then]

Aah. I think so too.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

...

That guarantees that we lose though.

No one is going to gift us when we're so close to a win condition.

[nohalation]

Are you okay?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Feelings are bad.

F E E L I N G S are bad.]




Of course.

[nohalation]

...

[tiptoes tiptoes and headpat headpat]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Thank you, Angel.

You're the best]

[nohalation]

[after peering and listening into all of the conversations, she tugs at his coat a little bit]

Make sure you don't regret anything, okay?
