future is now

[idolpro]

You're in a room...? Probably. There are shadows around the edge of the room which make it hard to judge the size. There's nothing here, but you somehow know your decisions will be heard.

Glowing in the air in the worst color are two numbers: your total and the overall total. They both begin at zero.

ROUND ONE: ROLL

[idolpro]

An oversized die appears in the air in front of you, bouncing around dramatically before falling on its side: five

ROUND ONE: DISCUSS

[idolpro]

One among you will lose someone. Feel free to discuss, but don't take too long...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

On second thought, maybe it's okay if my world belongs to Hell if it's full of dipshits like this.

[resonantblue]

You sound like someone who has already accepted a loss... I do not approve.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

On the contrary.

If this is who gets graduated on a whim, then that's just more incentive for me to rise to the top.

So I can demote him to fucking janitor.

[resonantblue]

You now have my approval.

Let's focus on the game. We need to form a decision.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'll take the first one. My world. My problem. And you know how much I don't give a shit about memories.

[resonantblue]

[nods]

Roger. To keep it fair, Silence will take the next turn. You may not care about memories, but we cannot have you leaving with no memory of everyone who has changed your life.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If that's how you want to play it.

You want to roll the die then?

[Because Intensity has E-rank luck and no heart of the cards]

[resonantblue]

Very well.

[rolls... a 2!]

Seven. Hm.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Well at least we don't have to worry about going over.

[resonantblue]

As long as we do not continue getting low numbers, thus taking more turns.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And lessening our chances of winning.

[Though Intensity doesn't seem too fussed about walking out of here with 0 memories. Even if he appreciates Silence taking half the burden]

...

I hate luck decks.

[resonantblue]

[takes her a moment to process that]

...is this about the card game you play?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes.

He killed Nine-Nine with it back home.

[Said so nonchalantly. As if this sort of stuff just happens all the time.

Because it does]

[resonantblue]

[—!]

I must ask how.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Shadow Games.

They run much like these games where the loser suffers a penalty. In one of Nine-Nine's memories, I saw him face off against this wannabe tryhard and lose.

...

Because it's Nine-Nine. I'm sure you understand.

[resonantblue]

[internally shouting, NINE-NINE BUD PLEASE]

Gambling their lives like that... for what reason? Recreation?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Couldn't say. Didn't catch the first half of the memory.

I did it for a card.

[Which he's going to forget about in the next 30 seconds]

[resonantblue]

I do not know where to begin addressing that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I didn't die.

[He didn't win either]

[resonantblue]

...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Just concentrate on rolling a higher number next time.

We don't want to fall behind.

[resonantblue]

Right. Silence must focus.

Re: ROUND TWO: DISCUSS

[resonantblue]

[rolls a 5]

...ah. A higher roll.

[12 it is]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

See. You just needed a warm-up roll.

[resonantblue]

Games with such high stakes, that rely on chance, are stressful...






But that is nearly every traumatic game for this unit.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

At least we don't have to depend on the community. That's a plus.

[resonantblue]

...it does not feel any different.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Puts a hand on her shoulder]

[resonantblue]

It is okay. I am not sad over that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He is quiet for a few moments before:]

If bonds are as important as everyone keeps telling me, then shouldn't reforging them also be possible?

[resonantblue]

You can still lose the significance of memories and experiences that were enhanced by that person's presence.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That doesn't matter. That's not irreplaceable.

[Is Intensity going to eat these words next round. Yes, he is.]

[resonantblue]

[Yes He Is]

...I do not agree, and will leave it at that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. We've had this conversation before.

Guess we'll see which one of us is right.
