[ The elevator opens up to a room spacious enough to house the whole unit comfortably, but with no furniture to speak of except a touchscreen podium near the far wall, displaying a row of four larger-than-life mahjong tiles on a red background. On the left side of the screen is a square that says TRADE. The walls and floor of the room are nearly checkered with metal panels, out of place against the rest of the marble flooring and unremarkable off-white walls.

The elevator doors close behind you. ]

[i'm so fucking tired christ] Thoughts?

[syncintohell]

My thoughts? Of all the odious— I think our options are few and entirely loathsome. This is what they're foisting on us, having it pose as entertainment!? The masses have truly fallen far!

[ Slamming his hand against a wall that isn't the touchscreen. ]

We need to trade our hand. Anyone opposed, do speak now.

[ Because, otherwise he's going to do it without anyone's input. ]

What is this utter madness?

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[hashtagaesthetic]

[that new hand though] Ah, so there is a more varied spread of numbers.

[syncintohell]

It is less of a set-up than it could have been, but why on earth would they trade this hand away?

[syncintohell]

[ swallows, audibly, before clearing his throat ]

Yasuragi-no-Mikoto. If you wish for us to protect ourselves, we still have a seven.

Anything below that will be a forfeit for the round.

I—

I would prefer we forfeit.

[sonof]

Go ahead, then.

Name any units we'd rather avoid. It doesn't matter much now, but we may as well choose properly.

RESULT

[ghostofissues]

[ The metal panels open up to produce metallic hands that grab just one of you by the jaw. Resisting it is futile - running away even moreso. With a great strength the hand squeezes down on your jaw, separate metal appendages hooking around your teeth to wrench your mouth open - it's like going to the dentist, but even more terrifying!

An oddly-shaped metal clamp with a twisting knob at the end starts being inserted into your mouth, with more metal appendages pinching your tongue to stay still - that's right, the clamp does look like it's shaped like a tongue, doesn't it?

A metal appendage twists the knob, and the clamp starts to tighten. Twist, twist, twist - it starts to seal, digging into the back of your mouth until the metal starts to cut in, and then it goes further. Twist, twist, twist. There's the taste of metal and - well, no, you can't taste blood without a tongue but you can imagine that the liquid in your mouth is probably blood.

Finally, the clamp shutters completely shut, metal hitting metal, and the metal appendages pull back to disappear into the metal panels, taking your tongue with it. ]
