Taisho Roman Revolution

[ 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. ]

[hashtagaesthetic]

That's just saddling someone else with the hand we don't want.

[syncintohell]

I do not wish to be rewarded for injuring another. I will shoulder blame for the harm that will happen, but to receive accolades for it would be the worst of insults. Furthermore, if someone is trading away a low hand, it is because they desire what we are offering— should we take an equally high hand we will, at the least, have more information on the level of farce this was made to be.

[furrytailprince]

What is this utter madness?

[syncintohell]

You have already stated the answer. Utter madness lies before us!

[furrytailprince]

And if we should refuse to participate?

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[hashtagaesthetic]

Pretty much just that.

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?

[hashtagaesthetic]

It's possible they objected to the seven and thought their chances were better for getting lower numbers. Or they wanted to protect their own.

[syncintohell]

I find the latter more likely.

[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.

[syncintohell]

You are allowing me this?

[furrytailprince]

Is it wrong to protect ourselves?

[syncintohell]

[ doesn't answer that ]

There is no guarantee we will be targeted.

[hashtagaesthetic]

Right and wrong is pretty subjective in the first place, let alone in a situation like this. [so also a non-answer]

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[sonof]

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

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[hashtagaesthetic]

...Heart Soldier Senshi.

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[furrytailprince]

That is my recommendation as well. I doubt many will target them.

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[syncintohell]

SensitIV. I am not close to many here, but I would not hesitate to say it is them I've found the closest kinship with.

It would also be in poor taste to bombard Heart Soldier Senshi, considering the show of friendship we have already made to them.

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[furrytailprince]

Perhaps also future is now.

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[sonof]

... Wild City, Alcheme, avante en garde. Is that agreeable to all of you?
