3 WAY PRISONER'S DILEMMA: BAD END=DEAD END

[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 Prisoner 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 2

[idolpro]

[ You have a selection of plants, each labeled with their meanings. For Round 2, hitting SEND will prompt you to choose whether to send the selection to UNIT 2 or UNIT 3. You can still choose as few or as many flowers as you like, but the flowers you chose last round are grayed out, and you cannot send the same flowers to both units. ]

[. . . whyyyyyy these soft flowers.]

Well. We're living up to our rep of going against the grain, that's for sure.

Re: DISCUSSION

[awakenerd]

I feel a little bad... We could send lantana if you want. But we've warned them, so they should get it if we stick to the first plan.

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

... feeling more cherry blossom.

Re: DISCUSSION

[awakenerd]

No change then?

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

I think we gave fair enough warning...

And if it goes wrong, then I guess it was my call, so.

[he'll fix it. somehow.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[awakenerd]

[Smacks the glass]

Hey. You aren't the only one here. We talked about this and came to a conclusion as a unit, so we're in this together.

You're the one who has to face the immediate consequences as it is.

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

[startles a little at the smack but then relaxes and... smiles? haha it's difficult.]

We're all gonna face the immediate consequences at some point or another. But you're right, we did come to a group decision.

Re: DISCUSSION

[awakenerd]

[Better!!]

Honestly I'm stressed and upset and really pissed off.

[His voice is mostly level but he isn't keeping some of those emotions out, they're there under the calm.]

But the fact we're deciding together is important. This isn't all on you, even if the direct results are yours to bear--and I hate that--if there's fallout, I want to take responsibility for it too. I'm being just as complicit in whoever we're hurting, and I don't intend to turn a blind eye to that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[.... Agreed.]

We should be a dead giveaway then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[awakenerd]

No one is going to mistake our intentions at least.

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

Yeah, pretty much.

Re: DISCUSSION

[motorcycle_noises]

....Oh.

[ That's all he says as he looks at the flowers they were given. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[awakenerd]

Guess they had more faith than us.

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

We don't know that.

The point of the scenario is to get the other side to trust you while you betray them, right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[motorcycle_noises]

I definitely don't think we should change our plan. We'll keep our course, see it through to the end.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I agree. Plan wasn't really what we wanted to begin with, but the best one under the circumstances.

Re: DISCUSSION

[awakenerd]

I know that, trust me I thought of that. But I still want to believe in taking people at face value, I guess.

That said we've pretty much stated our own intentions, so we're being honest as we can ourselves.

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

That's definitely going to be the argument we'll be leaning on after this is over, for sure.

Re: DISCUSSION

[awakenerd]

....

Just cherry blossom? Or nothing? Either sends a message I guess.

Re: DISCUSSION

[motorcycle_noises]

Nothing would be a powerful message if interpreted right.

TURN-IN

[idolpro]

[ Turn-in is due at 6:40 PM PST. ]

Re: TURN-IN

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Nothing is sent to either unit this time. ]
