GM Game: Heart Soldier Senshi

[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. ]

[ King is just. Draped over a chair, not doing a great job of staying upright on his own.

He lives here now................. ]

... Point values aside, I feel like the 8 might actually be more merciful than the 7.

[ with no small amount of bitterness, ]

Agreed.

[ Giving her a small sideways glance.

Hiryuu...? ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[dragonheartedgirl]

... He doesn't remember me anymore. Or anything.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

...

[ Reaching for her hand ]

I'm sorry, Hiryuu.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dragonheartedgirl]

It's fine.

[ It is Not. But. ]

At least he's alive and in one piece--physically, anyway.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

No. It's not fine. And you don't need to pretend it's fine.

But, at least... when this kind of thing happened in games before, it wasn't permanent.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dragonheartedgirl]

I know. But--the time with him that I'll have will already be short.

It's... wasted time. Trying to reacquaint herself, to explain everything. To be set back to... ground zero.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

Yes... that's true too.

[ Giving her hand a squeeze ]

I wish things would be kinder to you for once.

Re: DISCUSSION

[foolmetwice]

[a wry snort]

I agree. But it is pretty violent.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dragonheartedgirl]

... Let's not forget we chose to remove someone's limb and someone else's pinky in round one. It's a little late to be objecting because of violence, isn't it?

... Vocal cords have the advantage of being fixable. Memories that have been lost as a penalty from this game--we don't know.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

... What Hiryuu said.

It's still terrible, obviously. But... in a simple, brutish way. Whereas losing an important memory is...

[ He doesn't really have a good followup other than "fucking awful" ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[foolmetwice]

[makes a slight face at them both]

Like I said, I agree. I'm the very last guy who would object to playing a card cuz it's violent. But I thought—

[he pauses and then shakes his head. if anything he went straight to the memory ones instead of the vocal chord card because. . . well. he was trying to concede a little for Hurricane]

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

It's fine. Or - not fine, but...

[ Y'KNOW

Also after cold-blooded murdering a person a very short while ago maybe we're all a little jaded to violence in here right now ]

Anyway. The real question is who to play on.

Re: DISCUSSION

[foolmetwice]

[scrubs his face]

. . . Taisho. LiliS. ZRAEL.

And ZRAEL isn't because of what happened last round. We're just. . . running out of teams.

[the other ones available are pep!pep!, sea.Di and avante. the first two have barely any points at all and avante is Hurricane's number one team and Hurricane is the biggest objector to the way they're playing so. . .]

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Just. Makes a face.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[foolmetwice]

[glances at him again, reading his expression and responding to what he thinks is unsaid]

Yeah. I know.

But who would we swap them out for?

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

BARiTONES. Their score is higher right now, and they didn't just have two teammates publicize a murder.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Ah. Well. ]

...

Maybe it's best to try to think--of what our particular targets would prefer, based on what we know of them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[foolmetwice]

. . . Taisho could probably handle the broken nose. LiliS wouldn't be happy with the memory, but I do think they could handle that better than anything physical.

[LiliS soft]

Re: DISCUSSION

[dragonheartedgirl]

Certain Taishos can.

[ unsure about kaguya or shu tho... for vastly different reasons. ]

If you think that's the best call, then... I don't mind. I suppose it's only a one point difference.

Re: DISCUSSION

[foolmetwice]

I don't know if it's the "best." But it's the call I'd make.

[joke is on them both there is no BEST CALL in this game]

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Listening in, but not bothering to chime in this time.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ SORRY HURRICANE . . . ]
