Castle Game: Heart Soldier Senshi

[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?

SHE'S BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD ON THIS ANGER MANAGEMENT THING.... ]

Pep!Pep! could control how they've been behaving, yes, but--even so, people have been stealing at least one, if not more, from them every time. And we don't know what their mind-set is. They may have given up, thinking they'll die with the worst consequences for sure, so why struggle? Maybe they're fine accepting that, but... that doesn't mean we have to go along with it.

I'm willing to accept Prim's compromise, but--I don't appreciate you accusing us of not even trying when we opted not to send anything and retain all of our property in the first round. We agreed to do what we can to preserve ourselves within a reasonable limit--not to play so hard as to not be able to look at ourselves in the mirror afterward.

[A little taken aback — but a little grateful she said that, too, honestly.]

[ Hold on he needs to breathe himself. He doesn't like being angry? It turns out being angry is tiring? But come on, he has to pull himself together and be mature. ]

I just...I think it wouldn't really make them feel all that great if we helped them at our own expense and we ended up dying for it. But maybe that's my own selfishness.

Just... [ He sighs. ] I'm sorry for accusing all of you. I just don't want us to die.

[ She's been in Eclipse's shoes, so. She understands. And she reaches out to touch his shoulder, gently, so he understands... she might be a bit upset right now, but she understands where he's coming from, and love is not over. ]

No, you're probably right that they wouldn't like it if we died either. Personally, i don't really want to die either, but--it seems we estimated this game incorrectly. Hopefully, we'll both be able to survive... I think that's all any of us want.

Re: DISCUSSION

[inspiteful]

I would like us all to not die. [ As in, both them and pep. ] I just...at least, I want to believe that they're making this choice not because they feel defeated or they have 'given up', but because they've decided that's how they want to do this.

I don't like it, but... [ He thinks back to the conversations he's had with Cobalt, before. ] I guess there's no way to do this that isn't really just us being selfish.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dragonheartedgirl]

... Later, when things aren't so tense, we should discuss this. What to do when it seems like another unit is trying to throw a game.

[ Because on the one hand--yes. She would obviously also like to see everyone survive. And she would like King to not be angry with them for not saving Yugi--from himself, even.

... But having seen Eclipse lose his composure like this, and his point--that Pep!Pep! might want to lose--she wonders if this is really the best choice to be making. ]
