3 WAY PRISONER'S DILEMMA: WILD CITY

[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 Whiskers 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

I think that's the idea.

[ he sighs ]

Even "trusting" one of them is more of a gamble than betraying both, it seems like.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthetainted]

Isn't trust always more of a gamble...?

But it's true if we're one of the only teams to betray, there'll be a target on our back. Especially if Silver is right.

Re: DISCUSSION

[eatsthecanary]

[ exactly ]

Is that something you mind?

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthetainted]

...I'm not afraid of danger. But I don't want everyone else to be in danger more than they have to be.

I don't think it's possible for this 'trust' model to work all the time. But I think Silver needs to see it not work for himself, too. That it's not our fault.

Re: DISCUSSION

[eatsthecanary]

So you'd rather we trust and let him see it fail?

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthetainted]

I don't want you to have to suffer for that.

But basically, yeah. It's what I would do if it was my body on the line.

Re: DISCUSSION

[eatsthecanary]

[ Mmmmmmm. ]

Alright. I'll gamble on this one.

[looks surprised, but after a moment just nods]

Thanks...
