GM Game: avante en garde

[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. ]

I guess it depends... if we know what the phobia is, or not? Or what it turns out to be. If it's something like insects, that's not common here, then maybe...

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

Yeah, having bugs is never gonna win the poll. Doubt it'd be that convenient though.

What else are people scared of?

Re: DISCUSSION

[softlyfalling]

Ah... heights, certain kinds of animals, small spaces, open spaces, t...alking to other people, illness, doctors...

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

Those sound manageable, except for the talking one. And spaces.

Re: DISCUSSION

[softlyfalling]

Water, maybe? Water could be a bad one. I suppose if it doesn't have to be an ordinary fear it could be anything, which could be bad...

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

Fear of faces. Fear of... uh, shadows.

Yeah, okay, that could be kinda shitty.

Re: DISCUSSION

[softlyfalling]

...yeah, that's, ah.

Being afraid of common things is, ah. Really not good.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

Four, then.

Now the question is, who's the lucky unit we're playing this on.

Re: DISCUSSION

[softlyfalling]

Ah... hm.

Well, we probably shouldn't do Taisho, right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

It's fine if we really think they'd target us, but-- I don't think they'd come outta the gate with that. They must have other beef to act on.

[Cardigan interjects,]

An 8 is going to be very bad.

lol ignore the other tag since you got to me like right at the same time

[softlyfalling]

I suppose it was probably too much to hope for that it might be mitigated, but...

...you described a game like this happening before, didn't you.

[deicider]

Yeah.

I think we should draw another hand.

[softlyfalling]

I guess three points isn't too much...

[deicider]

The four's probably fine, too. I just don't expect that to be gentle.

[softlyfalling]

Probably none of them are going to be strictly pleasant, but... it'll wear off, I suppose.

[deicider]

Mm. I'm sure it'll be fixable.

How do you want to play, Shrike?

[softlyfalling]

[ she pinches the bridge of her nose. ]

If we can get by without playing anything egregious... I'd really prefer that.

Also no cards about forgetting things.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Um, okay. They sound really certain, so... it seems pointless to ask why]

Then we'll just play the 4. Right?

[deicider]

We could draw another hand, too. Playing hard isn't going really to protect us. We just need to not fall in to debt.

[unbr8kable]

What happens if we end up with worse choices? Plus every card played on us will lower that number, right? If there’s something that’s tolerable now, we should go for it.

[deicider]

We can use the four.

[unbr8kable]

Okay.

[Pauses]

Who’re we going after?

[deicider]

[Firmly,]

I'm not in charge. Go ask Shrike or Griffin.

[unbr8kable]

...You don’t gotta be in charge to have an opinion.
