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

[ His head jerks, stiffly— it would be a nod except for the broken mechanical nature to the movement

He starts working through it aloud. ]

They have indicated they intend to take the consequences no matter what— should they be sincere, they are prepared if we pull the trigger and betray them. Should they be insincere, it is merely a set-up that will end up with us being betrayed. Either way, they will show us no ill will should we choose betray. So the consequences from that angle are immaterial.

It only comes down to this: will it be a heavier cost for them to be harmed for our sake, or one of us to be harmed for theirs.
