Heart Soldier Senshi

[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: six

[if white noise were an expression it'd be the one Mars is wearing right about now]

[inspiteful]

-- We have to win.

[foolmetwice]

I--

[his hands curl into fists at his sides, knuckles white]

[touche, gamerunner]

Yeah. We do.

[and he has never sounded so sure of that as he does now]

ROUND TWO: DISCUSS

ROUND TWO: DECISION

[inspiteful]

[ Surprise, the one thing that will get them motivated to play to win! ]

I...we should take turns.

[foolmetwice]

[threatening to kill them? threatening to maim them? ha ha! ha. . .]

[takes one look at Eclipse because part of him thinks he should argue and say no, let me do it every round but. . .]

[he can't. he can't. and he's too selfish to deny that fact]

I'll go first.

[he can, at least, do that much]

[inspiteful]

[ To be fair, Eclipse wasn't expecting Mars to do that sort of thing in the least. ]

...All right.

[foolmetwice]

[. . . lifts a hand to scrub at his face, more out of frustration than anything]

[but then he lowers it, drops his hand on Eclipse's shoulder, and squeezes tightly]

[foolmetwice]

[Mars is going to lose his memories of Lily]

[foolmetwice]

[WELP]

[after that roll, Mars has one hand pressed against his face, heel dug into one eye as he sucks in a deep breath and lets it out shakily. something feels like it was ripped from his heart, and he knows logically what it is, but]

[the worst part is not knowing who it is]

[inspiteful]

All there's left to do is to keep rolling.

[ He lets Mars squeeze his shoulder, though he isn't sure what he should do in response. ]

[foolmetwice]

[Mars doesn't expect anything in return, so it's fine!1]

We'll make it. Somehow.

[inspiteful]

M-Mars?

[ Now it's his turn to reach for Mars' shoulder because holy shit that's one reaction. ]

[foolmetwice]

[DID U KNOW, THE FEELING OF HEARTBREAK EXTRA SUCKS WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOU'RE HEARTBROKEN OVER]

[jerks a little bit, but doesn't pull away, before he lifts his head and sucks in another breath]

-- I'm fine.

Are you sure you can go next?

[inspiteful]

Yeah. [ He says even though internally he is, at the bare minimum, sweating. ] I mean, it wouldn't be fair if I didn't take my share of the burden.

[inspiteful]

[ Eclipse will be losing his memories of N. ]

[foolmetwice]

[huffs a little, the noise wry, and the turns away for another moment to scrub at his eyes. THIS SUCKS!1]

Sorry.

[he mutters, quiet]

If it were literally anything else, I'd offer to take it all.

[inspiteful]

I still wouldn't have let you, anyway.

[foolmetwice]

[. . . ha]

I'd probably have argued that you should've. Since, you know. . . I don't react badly to that sort of thing.

[the physical punishments kind of thing, he means]
