BAD END=DEAD END

[idolpro]

[ The elevator opens up to a room spacious enough to house the whole unit comfortably, but with no furniture to speak of except a touchscreen podium near the far wall, displaying a row of four larger-than-life mahjong tiles on a red background. On the left side of the screen is a square that says TRADE. The walls and floor of the room are nearly checkered with metal panels, out of place against the rest of the marble flooring and unremarkable off-white walls.

The elevator doors close behind you. ]

Round 1

[idolpro]

HAND

[idolpro]

[ Touching one of the mahjong tiles will bring up a textbox underneath it with a brief description of the attack associated with the tile. Your starting hand is this: ]

2 bamboo (insatiable hunger)

9 bamboo (whole unit death)

2 characters (irrepressible crying)

6 bamboo (losing a finger)

TRADE

[idolpro]

[ Units may touch the TRADE button on the screen to place their hand up for trade. Please submit trade requests by 3:30PM PST at the latest to give everyone time to discuss their new hand, and consider a tile from your starting hand as a backup in case another unit is not available to exchange. Trade availability cannot be retracted. ]

TURN IN

[idolpro]

[ Please reply here with both your tile choice and your three choices for target unit. Turn-in is due at 4PM PST. ]

RESULTS

[ghostofissues]

[ A few metal panels open up, and metal appendages appear from behind them, most with gripping rubber on the ends, which shooting towards the closest person to hold their head in a vice grip, while the small circular chainsaw attached to the last one moves in and whirs loudly next to the person's ear as it cuts through the base, cleanly slicing through until the whole things comes off. Another metal pincer catches it and takes it with it as the mechanical arms all retreat back behind the panels, which close behind them. ]

[ jesus fucking christ

he's dealt with a lot of pain already but it's not the same, a fight versus having his ear actually sawed off -- he can't stop from a brief shout of pain as it starts slicing before he strangles the noise down into heaving, strained breathing as the ear gets picked and after his head's let go he's falling to a knee, cupping the bloody ear-less side of his head. ]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Holy shit.

[Ripping up the sleeve of his shirt as a makeshift bandage and giving it to Oni. Or putting it on the bleeding side of his head. Whichever looks least painful.]

[grandschemed]

-- thanks.

[ he gets out but his voice is rough, as he takes it and bundles it up to apply to the wound ]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Helping him sit.]

More teams than I expected went high up on the chain.

[grandschemed]

No one's ... dead yet, though, huh?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Let's hope it stays that way unless it all starts a snowballing into a real show that no one but the fans will like.

Re: RESULTS

[criminaljustice]

[look, head wounds like to bleed and we got lots of torn shit.

W-we can see about getting back after the game. SensitIV has that ability.

Re: RESULTS

[grandschemed]

Ya -- don't gotta worry about it till then. Just worry about the game. Not like we can do much about it right now anyway.

Re: RESULTS

[criminaljustice]
