3 WAY PRISONER'S DILEMMA: Taisho Roman Revolution

[idolpro]

[ 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 Kuzuebiko 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

ROUND 1

[idolpro]

[ On the left side of the screen is a sidebar with options for SEND, REVIEW SENT MESSAGES (currently empty), REVIEW RECEIVED MESSAGES (currently empty), and DESELECT ALL. You can send each flower only once, so any sent now cannot be sent in the next round, but you can send as many flowers as you like, even none. For Round 1, whatever you choose is sent to both other units. ]

[ Staring intensely at the directions displayed on his phone, to the point it blocks out all other noise— focus entirely inwards and also, he's shaking—

Hm. Maybe that isn't focus. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[nostory]

Kuzuebiko.

[Can he even hear them? ...Is he even in a state to pay attention? Hm.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollplayinghouse]

[After trying her best to break the glass:]

Hey. Don't freak out.

[rollplayinghouse]

[Well, Maki is going to at least TRY pounding and kicking the glass for a while before it becomes apparent it won't break.

Then she just fixes the monitor with a cold look.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[nostory]

[Oh. Well. This sure is going to be a pleasant first game for him. Iorime gets to his feet with a deep frown on his face.]

[ Look who is here again and decked from head to toe in sparkly bows, along with extra curly hair and a somehow curly-haired tail. ]

What is it this time?

Unit 3 could be AlcheME.

[syncintohell]

[ Looking at unit 1 with eyes narrowed. ]

The first unit doesn't appear to be trying to communicate an identity, so much as communicating how they wish to deal with conflict.

DISCUSSION

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollplayinghouse]

[she actually smiles a little at this]

...Then, I guess our decision is whether we should trust Unit 1 or not?

[syncintohell]

[ His hands curl, his nails digging into his palms at the lack of response from the first unit— nothing more to go on. He cannot bring himself to voice his thoughts there unprompted, but instead announces— ]

We will place our trust in unit 3.

TURN-IN

[idolpro]

[ Turn-in is due at 7:30PM PST. ]

Re: TURN-IN

UNIT 1: TRUST
UNIT 3: TRUST

FINAL RESULTS

[idolpro]

[ Some of the metal panels on the hostage's side of the room slide open, and several blasts of discolored gas are sprayed into their half of the room. Whether or not they breathe in, it even sinks into their skin.

They might cough a little, get whoozy, stumble or fall over, but they don't seem to be in any apparent pain - and soon enough fans are blowing the remainder of the smoke out of their half of the room. Once the air is clear again, the glass partition sinks into the floor to free them, and the elevator doors in the corner of the room open. ]
