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. ]

[sancrimony]

. . . You've been injured, then?

[bondsofsuffering]

[He shakes his head slowly.]

Not me. Agni lost a finger one round, and Noah...

Noah was killed last round.

All I've had to worry about is some fatigue.

1/3

. . . I. . . I see.

[sancrimony]

[ taking a breath, to gather his bearings ]

. . .

It's not "all" you've had to worry about, with everyone else getting injured - still, I'm glad that at least you are whole.

I'm sorry that I haven't been around.

. . . It isn't something that one can choose to bear though, is it?

[bondsofsuffering]

[There's a very small, humorless huff of a laugh.]

It's not. None of this is.

[sancrimony]

Mmm.

[ . . . ]

But, you . . . if you want to go and rest at the dorms for a while, you can.

[bondsofsuffering]

Resting doesn't help at all, and I'd just be too worried about you guys anyway.

[He might as well be here to hear it, at least.]

[sancrimony]

. . . Haha, well, that would be right. Then, at least - you don't have to push yourself too hard when it comes to healing people outside of the rounds, alright? I can at least do that much.

. . . I won't say you can't, because . . . in part, it feels better to be able to do anything than nothing at all, but - still. Don't run yourself ragged already.

[bondsofsuffering]

[There's another short laugh, but this one sounds closer to the real deal than before. ...Then again, the bar is low.]

It's a little late on that, but thankfully pep!pep!'s been giving me boosts.

I'll just keep doing what I can.

[Because- he's right. Sitting still while everyone else is helping would just be a different kind of misery.]

[sancrimony]

Haaah . . .

Hopefully after this, we can take a break . . .

[backstory]

[ Being struck with crippling depression is hard. Cloud Nine wears off fast. ]

I think murder is out. We are the healing unit not the murderous unit.

But we are likely to be hit hard in the next round.

[pyromaniash]

...agreed. I also draw the line at killing anyone.

So we're back to figuring out which units might be most likely to target us.

[backstory]

I know we said we would not strike BARiTONES, but what if we play a low card against them? I personally believe they are one of the most likely units to attack us.

We ought to play against future is now, as well.

[bondsofsuffering]

Incessant ringing, and no outside food for them, then... I don't think it really matters who gets what.

Do we even want to bother with a third? It'd have to be a harsher card.

[pyromaniash]

We should play at least one of them. I think we should use the temporary amnesia card on 10IV.

I'd prefer to use the higher cards to keep our points up, but... I won't push for it.

[sancrimony]

- oh, er, I would . . .

[ startled, speaking abruptly ]

If possible I'd prefer to avoid temporary amnesia . . .

[pyromaniash]

...is something like losing a tongue really preferable to that...?

[sancrimony]

. . . One is certainly more physically unpleasant, but. . .

[ hhhh ]

Temporary amnesia may result in more, lasting damage, depending on the extent of "amnesia". For example - if a person doesn't remember what fire is, or the dangers of drowning, then it's potentially worse.

[pyromaniash]

I... see. I'd never thought of it like that....

[backstory]

Lucifel is the only person who reacts like this with amnesia.

[sancrimony]

Geh - !

[ ANIKI, ]

[backstory]

[ WHERE IS THE LIE ]

[sancrimony]

[ BE NICE ]

[pyromaniash]

[he looks back and forth between them....]
