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

[What the fuck is even going on?]

Angel? Can you hear me?

[nohalation]

Uh-huh! I can hear you just fine! But . . .

[smacks the glass a little]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Do you understand the rules of the game?

[nohalation]

I think so . . .

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You're the one who's going to face the consequence so think carefully about how you want to play this.

[nohalation]

They didn't explain what the consequences are . . .

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Assume they're going to be bad.

[nohalation]

So the hostage is me?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes obviously. The hostage is singular.

Three and I are on this side of the glass, and we have access to the controls and the elevator.

[nohalation]

[doesn't seem too bothered, perhaps unsurprisingly??]

Oh, okay, well then, trusting is probably the better option then!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If we trust them, and they betray us, then you're going to face something which potentially can't be healed.

[nohalation]

Oh, that's okay. I don't mind.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Are you sure?

Angel, I really need you to think hard about this. Like with the box of body parts outside the game tower last time.

[nohalation]

Maybe if it was Intensity or Three or Toaster, I'd feel differently?

But you aren't, and there are a lot of people I like.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So I'll ask you again, how do you want to play?

[nohalation]

[smiling]

I want to be able to trust people. And if bad things somehow happen, I'll still smile.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then let's see what the other units send us.

You'll be calling the shots.

[nohalation]

Oh okay . . . me?!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes, you. Unless you don't feel comfortable doing it.

[nohalation]

Umm . . . I don't feel uncomfortable.
