GM Game: BARiTONES

[ 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. ]

It's all guesswork, it's stupid.

. . .But Heart Soldier just lost a guy in that crazy Live, and people still played on them –– probably because they were almost at fifty and it was obvious they were going hard. So it'd take way less for everyone to pile on us again.

One would think they would focus on ☆ZRAEL. Yet that does not seem the case.

Then all the more reason to use our cards to block. Use the smallest point totals if you wish.

Mm. . .

[Twitching her tail, a lil agitated.]

If we do the eight, five, and the one. . . that should be enough to absorb whatever they do to us without putting us too high. . . right?

Reasonable enough considering our lack of information. Though it would be in our best interest to put the eight on that unit which is most likely to through.

And then comes the task of determining which eight is the worst of the two.

Yeah. Taisho's probably going to hit us with the highest card they've got. But how are we supposed to know which team won't play on us?

We don't. A harsh and unfortunate truth.

All three units we attacked from round 2 did not counter. Can we assume the same for round 4? If so, they either attacked in the first round or did not attack at all. If we want an attack to go through one of these three units seem the best bet. At random, I would select BAD END.

[Absolutely not at random on his part, but you know.]

If our goal is to block with the one and the five, we can exclude sensitIV and Wild City for reasons previously mentioned. We cannot interact with Taisho, Heart Solider or ☆ZRAEL. If we exclude Avante, Future is Now, Dance Macabre, and sea.Di, that leaves the units available as pep!pep!, Lilis, AlcheME, YOU-kai, and 10IV.

AlcheME did attack us in the first round.

Which means they could play on us again this past round. They might've been one of the cards we got.

And I don't see why Dance Macabre is in that list.

Then attack in a similar fashion as round two. Would not be a fault strategy depending on your goal.

Because they are the only unit that I confirm did not hit us for two rounds. I'm simply returning the favor.

And how did you confirm that?

The only way the first point total adds up if the only attack that went through was Dance Macabre which means they did not block. In the second round we took no additional attacks.

Uh huh.

So you think I'm an idiot.

[Sighs.]

Miss Kohime, if you really want to do deal with that person from home you dislike, after this we can go find them. I can hold her in place so you can take whatever dissatisfaction you feel is necessary. Or sing your praises if that is the route you wish to take.

This person apparently has had little success in influencing their unit as a whole so trying to block them would be pointless.

Hm. . . is it so hard to be honest? You're getting warmer, at least.

You want to kiss up to Eichi. You know, our wonderful "leader" who busted in here and threatened me and Ruby over playing on that unit when we didn't even know about his precious Wata-whoever?

Who, by the way, I'm pretty sure he'd screw the rest of us over for if it came to that. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I am well aware of that. Eichi has no attachments to my motives or my cause. I expect he’ll offer his assistance if our paths align, but won’t truly expend the effort for my sake. And why should he?

But do you truly want my honesty? I don’t believe you will enjoy it.

Nah. Sounds like you're gearing up to give me an opinion, not, like, honestly why you don't want to hit Dance.

I will keep my thoughts to myself then.

Have you ever loved someone, Miss Kohime?

[Yes, with all her heart, then they broke it and the world ended.

As is the way with teenagers.

But she just rolls her eyes at this.]

Ugh, seriously? We're going to do a love and friendship speech, in the middle of a death match? Also, I didn't really think that was your thing, I'm kind of surprised.

‘Tis not. You simply have a habit of making assumptions which is getting tiresome.

If you actually want to act against your grievance against the one on Dance Macabre in a more direct manner, I am willing to assist. For now, let us keep them out of our selection for this game.

Does that not solve both problems?

Cool, but that's your only veto.

Now get out of my face.

[caves easily because spoiler alert she didn't want to play on dance mac anyway]

And the consequences if I do not abide by your demands?

[SHRUGS??]

Then I don't see why I should have to follow yours.

Hardly a compelling argument. If you truly wanted something, would my words be able to sway you in any manner?

[But he leaves anyway.]

[If he's leaving, there's no point in answering –– so she doesn't.

But she does know whose side he'll fall on if Eichi follows through and comes after her, so that's useful information, at least.]
