Capitalism, Hey!: BARiTONES

[idolpro]

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack, with the distinct feeling that the people around you are your family, if you didn't already have such a bond with them.

You're wearing raggedy versions of your uniform, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME%, in the year %CONTEMPORARY%. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing a recent high-profile murder having been solved: despite confusion on the part of the authorities conducting the initial investigation, it turns out the victim had been tragically murdered via gun in the knife.

What do you do? ]

It's not soft, it's not being stupid. Here's how that'll turn out. The game will end, and we'll be the only team that killed another, and they'll come at us harder and faster and all your little friends you've been trying to make will disappear.

Or, we could not randomly murder people when we don't have to and figure another way out of this. How about that?

You know, everyone already forgave us for that 22 points you were so scared about. And how do we know there's any way to even figure out who did what here? We got stolen from and it didn't say a thing about who did it.

I'm not going let them keep on fucking with us like this, Koko. You keep saying they'll come harder every time but it's already always hard. So what are you scared of? They'll decide to kill you when they decide to kill you and it doesn't matter whether you've done anything or not, you told me that!

. . .So––so just keep it in the stupid simulation! We don't know that they won't reveal it all at the end, anyway, and taking another team's money isn't gonna fix anything! For all we know, the other unites are stuck at "panhandler" too!

[ Sometimes godhood goes to your head!

Also, losing is scary? ]

That's why I have plans besides that. Speaking of, I have some starving to go do. Be a good girl and make sure Crown doesn't lose his pretty little head, 'kay?

––You what?

[Lashing her tail in so much fucking anxiety god this sucks.]

Crown's worried about food, and he thinks that's all that matters. I'm showing him it isn't. Don't worry about it. I'm not dying here, not of something stupid like that.
