3 WAY PRISONER'S DILEMMA: Heart Soldier Senshi

[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 Wire 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 this!!! Knocking them out like that, and waking up to find Nathan imprisoned and some bullshit prisoners dilemma??

Mori immediately jumps up and tries to activate his Heart Weapon, a pair of gauntlets, and starts punching the glass. He doesn't know if it'll summon in a game like this, but even if it won't, he has to at least try first.]

[ HONESTLY if Mori hadn't immediately started beating on the glass, she probably would have been the one trying. But. Well. If he's going to be the one freaking out, then she's going to have to be the voice of reason. ]

Mori! Stop, Mori!

Re: DISCUSSION

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[He does stop after four or five punches, leaving his fist against the wall. Mori grits his teeth and tries to calm down, but he's so very angry. He's terrified. He doesn't know what to do.]

I know. I knew it wouldn't work, but, there has to be something.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dragonheartedgirl]

I know. [ she places her hand on his shoulder. ] The only way we'll be able to get him out is to go along with this insanity. [ which is. not great. but. ] We can't compete against these creatures with powers that they've given to us.

What the fuck...

[Nathan's disoriented for a moment, he... he honestly hadn't expected to wake up separated from his team. But the banging of Mori's weaponized fists against the glass shakes him from his daze.

He transforms too, and tries punching at the glass - but it barely even seems to shake.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[Well fuck this!!!!]

It won't budge - Nathan-san, can you still hear us through this?

Re: DISCUSSION

[fiberoptic]

[Welp! Breathing heavily, Nathan de-transforms and tries to take stock of the room.]

Yeah... yeah. Loud and clear.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Right there with him, trying to kick this thing in with the fake leg. You'd think metal would do more than a fist, but... nope. No dice.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[DAMN IT!!! Mori pounds the glass one more time, ducking his head.] We're not making a scratch - it's enforced, it wouldn't be that easy, but there has to be something we can do.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

Break their stupid screen in half?

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

[There's a second or two of stunned silence while he wakes up and he catches up with everything -]

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

[And then, yeah, this is bullshit.]

[He is trying to break in this glass - and when fists don't do anything, he hauls back and smashes it with the fake leg a few times.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[fiberoptic]

[Nathan's quickly realized the pointlessness of trying to break him free. Untransforming, he bangs on the glass to get Hurricane's attention.]

Forget it! Focus on the mission!

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

This mission's bullshit.

[But he's going to stop trying to break the glass in, at least - subsides, breathing hard.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[bluemoonlight]

[Ummm???

Why.

Though, hey, at least he's not trying to break anything.

He's just. You know. Concerned.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Well at least that's one person she doesn't have to dissuade from trying to break the glass. ]

Relax, Abi. We'll get Nathan out.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bluemoonlight]

[He nods.

They just have to stay focused, ok. He can do that.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ gentle hair ruffle ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

[After Nathan and Hiryuu talk him down (and Hiryuu tells him he was scared):]

...hey.

Sorry, dude.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bluemoonlight]

[Well, to be fair, Hurricane didn't scare him, exactly. He's just worried about Wire and everyone freaking out because he's not sure how to help.]

...It's not your fault.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fiberoptic]

[At least someone's calm.]

Don't worry. The others'll figure it out.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bluemoonlight]

[A slight tilt of his head.]

I can help.

Re: DISCUSSION

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[N O T O K A Y]

Abi-kun...

[He can't comfort him right now, Mori knows he's in no state to be trying to reassure anyone, but he still looks to Abi with concern and worry.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[bluemoonlight]

[it's ok because you know who can try to offer comfort?

Abi.

He pats Mori on the shoulder gently. He's ok. They just need to stay focused.]
