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

[ 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

....You okay over there?

Peachy.

[shook. Very Shook. but doing his best.]

Yeah. Obviously not.

[Pressing his fist against the glass and leaning his head against his fist, taking a deep breath.]

You're the one in danger here, how do you want to play this, Boss?

... I have a preference for no betrayals on our side.

[but like. lol.]

But you guys have just as much say in this.

[Presses his lips together tightly.]

That's one way to play, and I think it's up to you, but... The other way is to indicate strongly that we'll betray, and do it.

Do you want to risk something permanent or something really unpleasant or hope for something mild? I can't... Tell you which way to go, and I'm not sure which way I want to suggest.

I don't want to betray anyone either, but frankly, I don't want you to be hurt any more than anyone else. And "never be the same" worries me.

Phoenix... I think you're missing the point of what I said when I said "no betrayals on our side".

[you actually nailed it with the whole "let's not lie about our intents"]
