3 WAY PRISONER'S DILEMMA: future is now

[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 Angel | QW5nZWw= 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

DISCUSSION

[idolpro]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Okay, Angel. Your call.

[nohalation]

I haven't changed my mind.

. . .

What does talkative mean?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

People that don't shut up.

[nohalation]

Oh! I guess maybe they can't shut up for some reason!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You'll have to ask them if you can ever get a word in.

[Because maybe she wasn't part of some of those other conversations]

So trust Unit #2 and betray Unit #3?

[nohalation]

Oh! No, I was just gonna trust them both?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

They didn't send us a trust message in the first round.

Mutual betrayal is a valid way to avoid permanent damage. And we just sent them a betrayal message.

[nohalation]

But they'd still get hurt, wouldn't they?

[a_fine_human]

You want to trust even though they've pretty clearly said they plan to betray us?

[nohalation]

Oh, yeah! Because otherwise they'll get hurt badly, too.

[a_fine_human]

What does that matter?

[nohalation]

We're idols! And I want to see people smile, not cry.

[a_fine_human]

[what]

[negotiatoronsite]

She wants to trust, correct?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

We've agreed to trust Unit #2. And we've let Unit #3 know we're going to betray them.

[negotiatoronsite]

[ nodding ]

That's reasonable, though I don't understand the Talkative note.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Right. It doesn't make sense to send it at the end.

Looks like we were both proved right. There is your meaningless flower.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

... Assuming Angel wants to betray Unit #3.

[negotiatoronsite]

It doesn't appear that she does. Are you okay with that?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

We're all responsible for our own actions.
