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

Okay... okay.

What are we doing?

Nathan wants us to play as lightly as possible. Considering that he is the one who will be dealing with the consequences, I think we need to listen to him.

... However, even if we disregarded his vote, it is not my desire to punish innocent people for having the misfortune of being involved in this fiasco. I would rather try to ensure everyone can leave here with as little damage as possible.

He's got more right to a say than any of us.

...but I think he's right. And I think you are, too.

It's what you want too, right? You said as much earlier.

h[ ead pats ]

Yeah. I think if everyone keeps their heads, we can get out of this without it being -

[Very deliberately does not say "a bloodbath," even though it was on the tip of his tongue.]

- without it being too bad.

Hey.

[Nathan addresses them all from behind the glass, his tone as calm and stern as ever.]

We did our best. But we don't know what's gonna happen. If I don't remember this, or if I change, just... it's fine. I'm a soldier - I know these things happen. [He takes a deep breath, and only for a moment does his demeanor start to crack.]

I love you all. See you on the other side.

[ DAD ]

We love you too, Nathan.

[ trying not to cry. just. shit. ]

[Takes her hand.]

[ squeezing that hand. ]

We should have enough points for that garden, after this.

I know you'll keep the boys from doing anything too stupid. And you'll keep everyone honest. So stay strong, Princess Hiryuu.

You're going to be there too, so you can do that for yourself!

[ STOP TALKING LIKE YOU'RE DYING. YOU'RE FREAKING EVERYBODY OUT ]

Edited 2018-07-21 03:06 (UTC)

Sorry. I wish I knew how to lighten the mood.

AlcheME hasn't rubbed off on me much.

[Yeah, he's definitely crying a little. Scrubbing his palm hard across his eyes over here.]

Love you, too.

[He doesn't add dad to the end, because Nathan asked him not to. But it's there in SPIRIT.]

[He can hear it. He hears the dad.]

You planted the idea of cooperation in everyone last game, Hurricane. If it weren't for that, no one would even think of working together.

As it is... a small chance is better than none at all. Keep at it. You'll get out of here.

Don't be stupid. You're gonna get out of here, too.

That's right. Everything's going to be fine.

[ squeezing his hand, too ]

[He's not sure what to say because he's very rarely sure what to say but

Dad )8

He's just gonna hold Hiryuu's hand, ok.]

I don't know you too well yet, but... Keep our Princess safe.

[Firm nod!

He'll definitely protect Hiryuu.]
