GM Game: sensitIV

[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. ]

One of their members is acquainted with me. We have agreed not to unduly target one another, and gunning for them immediately would fly in the face of that attempt to keep the peace.

[backstory]

[ Hngg. HNGGG. ]

And you believe that will prevent them from going after us? I will, of course, respect such a decision. But I would... continue to be wary around them.

[crystallinelore]

I do not necessarily believe it will, but it was that man's suggestion. And... I will not be the one responsible for a renewing of hostilities.

[this does not sound like a trusted friend he's talking about]

I will be careful. But I do not wish for my personal issues to bring harm to SensitIV.

[backstory]

. . . If we find out that they did attack us in the future?

[ Very much no trust. ]

If there is someone who you feel uncertain of, then please share it with the rest of us. You are upon SensitIV now and we are family. It would not do for us to allow you to struggle through something alone.

[crystallinelore]

If I have been played for a fool, I will not hide it.

[he will]

Again, I do not wish for private issues to affect SensitIV. Especially if they are already handled.

[backstory]

. . . Then know that the rest of us are here for you should you need it.

[crystallinelore]

[internally: haha oof]

You have made that abundantly clear, Levi, thank you.

[backstory]

It is nothing at all.

[crystallinelore]

All the same, I do appreciate it.

[backstory]

Regardless, if BARiTONES is out we must decide on what card to play and on which unit first.

[bondsofsuffering]

[...]

It's okay to trust us a little, you know.

[crystallinelore]

I don't distrust you.

[he's just. like this.]

[bondsofsuffering]

[His gaze falls a bit, but he won't push it.]

[crystallinelore]

[he appears to have fucked this up]

I'm serious... I don't want you hurt, but that does not mean I don't trust you.

[bondsofsuffering]

[Haha, what? No, he's already smiling it off.]

It's fine, it's fine! Offer's open whenever!

Let's focus on the game, shall we?

[crystallinelore]

[wait, he knows that game. just because izanagi is better at it than he is doesn't mean he should just-- but the task at hand--]

...All right.

[sancrimony]

. . .

Is this a man that we should be avoiding on an individual level as well?

[crystallinelore]

No. He...

[actually thinks you guys are people.

shakes his head.]

I have no quarrel with the rest of BARiTONES, and the same should be true of him.

[sancrimony]

And it is through quarrel alone that would make him dangerous?

[crystallinelore]

Not for most. It is our specific situation before this that poisoned the well so.

[sancrimony]

I see.

. . . I won't pry further, but if he holds such a grudge against you, beware. That unit's abilities are formidable, particularly when it comes to causing one individual grief relentlessly.

If at all possible - should he aggress you personally then please, do not hide it to your chest. There is strength and comfort in numbers.

[ i will personally with my bare hands bail you out of a sticky BiT situation. pausing, and then speaking lower, with a hand covering his mouth ]

Though naturally some discretion may be advisable in who you confide in, please - do rely on us.

[crystallinelore]

[that's... so much... why are you all like this...]

I will take care. And rely on you if need be. It is my sincere hope that it does not come to that, however.

[sancrimony]

I'll hold you to that.

[ and then, in the same breath ]

Then, for now, we can avoid them. In terms of their priorities, too, I doubt we're high on the list. It's even possible we'll go through the whole game without being targeted by them, so - we can work with one of the temporary units for now.
