GM Game: LiliS

[idolpro]

[ The door shuts behind you, leaving you in a copy of this room. Upon one of the fancy tables is your card for the round, along with slots for each unit for you to go slide in your choices.

You can come and go as you will, but once you have left the room, you cannot speak of anything that transpires within: not your choices, not your discussion, not your alliances.

Do your best, idol-tachi. ]

[She kind of admires that Amaranth can say so directly that she's not a gentle person, honestly... for now, Azalea keeps quiet but...she feels like she might be the same.]

... That will be my purpose too, then. If it is to protect that gentleness... [And the people who were kind to her even though they know nothing about her--]

... I'll do what it takes.

I'm glad.

This is a harsh world to enter, and it is in times like these when that is most apparent.

The best advice I can give is this:
Pain and death are temporary, here. There can be power in that, because it means that, no matter what may happen, we can return to one another.
But it also means that we are always obligated to see things through. If you can make choices that you are proud of, and support those you care for, it will give you the strength you need to withstand any torment, and to truly make a life for yourself in spite of the playthings the Producers would make of us.

[Her shoulders hunch a bit at that, most particularly at the thought of dying here so easily--

But...]

It is...admittedly a little difficult for me to grasp so easily, so soon. I can admit that I...do not want to die. Not now, and not ever.

But I can tell that this advice comes from hard-earned experience. I'll do my best to keep it in mind, whatever may come.

[ a touch of a smile, though it isn’t exactly a happy expression, under the circumstances ]

I would be more worried by far if you felt any other way about death.
I hope it helps to know that “death” here is far more like an especially grave injury, but... even so. The will to survive is a good one.

[ a pause ]
Would you... like a hug? I know we’ve just met, but... this is very hard, and I can tell you’re doing all you can to be brave.

[Complicated...feelings... in response to all of that. She's not good at physical affection, she knows that, but this feels a little... almost nostalgic.]

... It really isn't necessary. Please don't worry too much for me. I believe, if nothing else, that I can handle this.

[...]

But... thank you. Truly. [It means a lot to her, in a way she can't put into words.]
