ROUND 3

[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.]

. . . Good day.

[ with a smile, to the next person ]

Lucifel, what a pleasant surprise!

Re: Yvette vs Lucifel

[maidenheaven]

Is it really all that pleasant? Haha.

Re: Yvette vs Lucifel

[tradesecret]

I'd be a lot more concerned if I hadn't taken care of a liability prior to this game. Some of sensitIV's abilities are really troublesome, you know?

Re: Yvette vs Lucifel

[maidenheaven]

Oh, they certainly are. I've warned people plenty of times . . .

[ with a little curtsy ]

In that case, that's the only trick I have in this book. Shall we settle this peacefully, then?

Re: Yvette vs Lucifel

[tradesecret]

Yes, I'd appreciate that. Feel free to start by stating your terms.

I'm afraid I might not be able to provide adequate financial compensation, but I would be willing to do joint lives with sensitIV for as long as I need to in order to offset any amount.

Re: Yvette vs Lucifel

[maidenheaven]

I'm not interested in financial compensation.

[ . . . ]

I suppose there isn't anything that you could do about your unitmates, is there? No - your unit probably doesn't work like that.

Re: Yvette vs Lucifel

[tradesecret]

That's correct, we don't. I can try to create diversions in an attempt to mitigate harm, but I'm certainly not in any position to stop them.

Most of them are also terribly skilled at being discrete.

Re: Yvette vs Lucifel

[maidenheaven]

Mmm.

Well, for compensation, I'll take a favor.

I know that sounds dangerous, so I'll also say that your unit won't have to pay for healing this game if you end up losing, or whichever next game you end up losing in exchange. Will that be fine?

Re: Yvette vs Lucifel

[tradesecret]

Short of killing my own unit or destroying the PR work I've put into it, what you're offering is more than fair.

Re: Yvette vs Lucifel

[maidenheaven]

My - goodness, I'd never ask of you anything like that. If nothing else, my own life is hardly worth that much.

[ with a gesture to the button ]

Then, please go ahead.

I hope you win, Yvette-san.

Re: Yvette vs Lucifel

[tradesecret]

[ "My own life is hardly worth that much."

She huffs at that. ]

Goodness, don't let Ruby hear you say that, she'll really give you a scolding!

Thank you for your support. I look forward to doing business with you.

[ Pushing the button. ]

Re: Yvette vs Lucifel

[maidenheaven]

Ruby-san is always giving me a scolding already, to be honest . . .

Re: Yvette vs Lucifel

[tradesecret]

Then please try not to give her more reasons. She'll tire herself out with all the people she does that to.

You're important to her, after all.

Re: Yvette vs Lucifel

[maidenheaven]

[ . . . with a smile ]

I'll watch my words from now on.

Re: Yvette vs Lucifel

[tradesecret]

[ Smiling back like she doesn't believe him at all, or that it won't change how he feels on the matter. ]

Re: Yvette vs Lucifel

[maidenheaven]

I think you have another opponent to get to, Yvette-san.
