idolpro | 3 WAY PRISONER'S DILEMMA: Heart Soldier Senshi

[ 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

[ You have a selection of plants, each labeled with their meanings. For Round 2, hitting SEND will prompt you to choose whether to send the selection to UNIT 1 or UNIT 2. You can still choose as few or as many flowers as you like, but the flowers you chose last round are grayed out, and you cannot send the same flowers to both units. ]

[ UNIT 1 sent you the following flowers:

Tulip (Red) - Fame/Charity/Trust
Iris - Faithfulness

UNIT 2 sent you the following flowers:

Oleander - Caution
Baby's Breath - Purity of Heart ]

[Well. Now what.]

So... any ideas who these might be?

[ Thinking. ]

The second could be SensitIV, I think. The first...... Is more difficult, since there are so many different attached meanings.

Taisho, future, avante... could even be Azrael, I can't get a read on those weirdos.

No clue.

They could've just been trying to get across their feelings, though. If they were... looks good, right? Faithfulness and purity of heart.

Maybe the second could be AlcheMe. C said he was trying to work on their reputation with that tower spectacle.

I the flowers are to be believed, these are both positive directions.

[ IF they're to be believed. ... However, she does, for the most part. ]

Unit 2 might be the one we should be worried about, if their "cautious" quality turns to anxiety.

[ IF that's what this is supposed to mean. good god.... ]

If round one was communicating who we were, then we should try to give an idea of our intentions.

[ which. really. raises the crux of this. ]

How do we wish to play?

Edited 2018-07-21 01:28 (UTC)

They could be tryin' to trick us, too. But...

Do you really want to risk fucking someone else up?

They could be trying to trick us. I will not say that I trust all of the the other groups to care about anyone but their own.

However... I feel like the majority of the units here are honest. I don't know that I want to risk lying to and betraying anyone sincere. If we send a sincere message indicating that we will not attack, however, then we have made you more vulnerable.

...

You are the one whose mind and body are being held hostage if we make a mistake. What are your feelings?

Why would they try and trick us? It's better for everyone if no one plays a betrayal.

That last game, we played it so no one got hurt. We can do it again, if we all work together.

...Nathan-san said to play as lightly as we could.

Then that's what we'll do. We can send the Iris, the Tulip, and the Morning Glory. With those two other flowers, surely the proper meaning for the tulip will be understandable.

Everyone's got to be thinking what we're thinking: how can we get through this with the least amount of damage to everyone.

That last game, we played it so no one got hurt. We can do it again, if we all work together.

[ if she doesn't disabuse hurricane of that hope--does that make her a bad person? or is she a bad person for suspecting that Wild City, and maybe even future is now, wouldn't mind throwing them underneath their carriage wheels for their own benefit? ]

...

You're right. We need to have faith.

[ The odds are still in their favor, right? She'll just have faith. ]

We should send the Iris, the Tulip, and the Morning Glory.

[Still not like. Calm. But he's trying.]

Fame... Could be AlcheME, or ☆ZRAEL. I don't know what other teams are as ostentatious as them.

The second one sounds a bit like SensitIV.

But I don't know these for sure.

They could've just been trying to get across their feelings, though.

Might not be team descriptions at all.

Yeah. Guessing the teams might let us think more carefully about who to trust, but there are too many uncertainties.

Even so, they both seem to be asking for trust.

Bad End=Dead End also has a habit of being flashy.

[He's just sitting quietly and observing. He's a little unsure of all this flower symbolism, but has decided to just do what Wire asked him and try to keep everyone calm.]

Did you want to make any suggestions with the flowers, Abi?
