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

Wait. Not camellia. Let's not get those meanings mixed in accidentally.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Having it in there might make it more obvious we're not intending the meanings... but removing it to be safe would also be fair.

[acappsella]

One is an accident, two is a coincidence, three is intentional. Four flowers is plenty enough already.

[syncintohell]

Ken, sweet as your worry is, I must side with Maki here. Seeing the Camellia should make them hesitate, if nothing else and that alone makes them more likely to do more than a surface read of the meanings.

[furrytailprince]

He has a fair point about accidental misinterpretation of our meaning.

The likelihood of them being confused is higher without all the red ones, but I'm fine leaving it out if you're worried.

[furrytailprince]

... if we are matched against one of the more competitive units, who we are may not matter. I do not want to give them more reason to feel we intend to harm them.

[rollplayinghouse]

Mm. It also might be that there are teams that will be more hesitant to betray us if they don't know who we are... We'll just have to see how it goes.
