ROUND 2

[idolpro]

[ The room is BRIGHT YELLOW, as all the rooms you will enter are. Black tiles make up the floor, changing to your unit's color when pressure is placed on them. There is a button in the very center of the room standing on a podium; it's slightly smaller than palm-sized.]

Oh!

[Blinks a couple of times, her vision readjusting to the light, before standing up wtih a smile]

Phew, that's so much better, thanks.

[Grows Amaranth back to her usual size with a lazy flick of the wrist]

What I'd like, huh? I would have much preferred to settle this this over a game of rock-paper-scissors, if I had the choice. But that doesn't seem your style. Would you really leave something like this up to chance if I asked?

[ being grown is honestly even more disconcerting than being shrunk, but at least she's back to normal ]

....It wouldn't feel right to me to leave it to chance like that—not if I felt I could truly keep them safe, if I gave everything I had to this.

Re: Amaranth vs L

[fleurescence]

Well, as I said, I'm not interested in a desperate fight to the death.

[ she worries her lower lip a moment ]

.....We could perhaps go to first blood, instead?

Re: Amaranth vs L

[fleurescence]

Amaranth. I don’t want to fight.

Re: Amaranth vs L

[worthathousand]

[ but that's her only plan?????? ]



....Ah.

Re: Amaranth vs L

[fleurescence]

I’m sure that would be the exciting thing to do, but I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint the fans. Sorry everyone! The final girl isn’t surviving the sequel.

But that’s okay. I’m sure you’ll give them a much more interesting show, Amaranth.

[ she considers L for a long moment, then at last bows her head with a sort of sigh ]

You are a brave and principled young woman. I am sorry that I had not taken the time to get to know you better, before now.

If you truly intend to concede here, is there something I might do for AlcheME later, after all this is done? Something that might bring all of you comfort.

[fleurescence]

[At first she's going to brush it off, she was going to joke and give Amaranth an easy out, but.

There is something that's been stressing her brothers out a lot, hasn't there.]

...Actually, there is one thing they might like...

Re: Amaranth vs L

[worthathousand]

[ tilting her head ]

What do you have in mind?

Re: Amaranth vs L

[fleurescence]

Next time there's a community poll, and ecosystem comes up, could you vote for plants only?

Re: Amaranth vs L

[worthathousand]

[ thousand yard stare


the gods are mocking her.


but she nods ]

Of course. I didn't realize it was a matter dear to AlcheME's heart, but you have my word that I will remember that wish.
