Who: Everyone
Where: wherever there's a TV and then, dining hall
When: Day 7, a respectable time in the morning when most people are up and at 'em

[LIVE ALERT!

the cameras zoom in on your boy who seems more cheered than yesterday. maybe it has something to do with yet another cinderblock he's holding as he stands at the game tower?]

Let's meet up. Talk things over. Dining hall in thirty.

Oh, and sorry about the noise.

[because of course it's not a BE=DE live if you're not breaking shit. and windows are loud when they break.

the live cuts off pretty quick after he does a few more (less noisy) minor damages. mostly seems to be just wasting time kicking holes in walls after climbing in through the rebroken window.



Do you attend?]

All right. For my piece... mostly, I don't have any real plans or objectives for this kind of meeting, but I figured it was best that we all got on the same page with our situation which is primarily:

[ticks off fingers]

1. We're all amnesiacs. This is without exception so far. So we're all without the resources of our previous lives and know nothing but what our profiles say and what the memories we're given back tell us, which isn't very much, so far.

2. We're put onto units and made to earn points to get by and also get back our memories in this place according to those units' standards. So this is a necessity to survive for the duration, but it is an artificial division they're using to divide us--something to bear in mind.

3. We're put into competitions against each other to win even more points. These "games" may have us do something drastic like breaking each others' limbs. This has only been called for once, but in the very first game as a bonus. There's no reason to think they'd stop there when they open with it.

Maybe if we're all understanding that we're all starting at the same point, we can figure out what to do from here.

Any suggestions or opinions are open at this point.

[that's all he's got. silent protag isn't used to all this long-windedness, y'all]

[grandschemed]

Can we start with a no jumpin' off the stage rule?

[criminaljustice]

Sounds like a good start.

[grandschemed]

We'll see if the guilty party agrees, huh?

[criminaljustice]

Or at least his unit out-votes him.

[fiberoptic]

Don't boil it down t'being that simple.

Spidey made a call. I'm not sayin' it's one I'm thrilled with, and he fucked up by acting on his own, but he did it so people wouldn't start turning on each other. The tone of this place would be very different if the alternative happened.

[grandschemed]

I get what yer sayin', and I get why he did it. But he did it before we even had a chance to really talk things out. No one started an arm-breakin' spree before he went and jumped.

I just don't want that kinda thing happenin' if it don't have to.

[fiberoptic]

If he hadn't done it, I guarantee D would've. Good luck getting him to fall in line with an order he doesn't see eye to eye on.

We've just got too many wild cards to expect everyone to accept the democratic solution. Talkin' it out only works if we're all on board. I ain't saying it's not worth a shot, but don't be too shocked if it doesn't end up working 'cause we can't accept the proposed losses.

[columbidaring]

I'm gonna be radical and ask, why? Like, obviously stop and reason things through, but if someone does reason things through and decides, 'yeah, I've decided the best course of action is stagediving', who are we to stop them?

[grandschemed]

If we figure out that's really the best goddamn option available then fine. But we gotta reason it out first.

[columbidaring]

I think that lesson's already been firmly learned, no need to make it an official rule.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

Thank you for standing up for my teammates, E-kun.

[sancrimony]

[ watching all this drama happen with a little frown. finally: ]

. . . I must ask, is there really such a great importance to be held in one's age?

[grandschemed]

[ uhhh. ]

I think so. I dunno how much that's really gonna apply here now, though.

[toodeeptoford]

We can't go around hurting each other for points.

[criminaljustice]

If people are willing to push the limits with disobedience there, then they need to talk with their unit... is what I have to say about it.

Acting on your own may effect your unit.

[toodeeptoford]

You're just going to go ahead and do whatever the talking pictures tell you? What if they want you to hurt a friend, or the children?

[grandschemed]

I'm worried they're not gonna be givin' us a choice.

[toodeeptoford]

What do you mean?

[sancrimony]

It is . . . most unideal, isn't it? Although it is possible to recover from something like that, it's still not pleasant to think about . . .

[crossmyheartandhope]

...they probably won't stop there.

The host, that first game - she said we got lucky on the bonus. That there were worse things she could've pulled.

[criminaljustice]

[y i k e s. things he did not know.]

... good to know.

So they do random selections sometimes.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah. She said they put the - [He hesitates a second. How did she phrase it? He has been trying real hard not to think about this.] - the highest intensity requests in as a lottery pull.

[sancrimony]

[ jesus ]

I suppose . . . she did not give any examples?

[crossmyheartandhope]

No examples. She said it wasn't her call, though.
