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

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 ]

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 ]

[Squeezing it back.]

Yeah. Yeah... it'll work out okay.

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

...Yeah.

You still need more lessons before you can start driving that bike with a passenger.

So you better stick around and give em to me.

Otherwise it's gonna be all wheelies all the time, dude.

I don't doubt it.

Tell Spidey I love him too, okay? And Twilight...

[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.]

[ oh my god. abi you're killing her with embarrassment. ]

You don't have to agree to something like that.

[???]

I want to.

[ oh my god she's dying ]

I can protect myself!

[ AT LEAST TELL HIM TO LOOK AFTER HURRICANE OR MORI TOO??? ]

[YOU WERE IN HIS MEMORY OK]

...Just in case your fiery side gets you in trouble.

[ you're embarraaaaasssing her daaaaaaaaddddddd ]

I will not let my temper get the best of me! And you're not going anywhere, either, so stop talking like you won't be there to restrain me yourself!

It's a time honored tradition for young people to stop listening to their elders around now...
