IT'S... a life...? Er, I mean, A Live!

[knowsgrowsnow]

Who: this girl
Where: the streets of faukyo
When: day 89, forward dated a bit just... to put some space if you want...!

[ IT'S TIME FOR A LIVE!! ISN'T EVERYONE EXCITED BY THAT!!! The camera turns on and shows this girl and also, this guy on taisho! Cool!

She says, ]

Hello everyone! It's time to call an auction for this guy's life! Going in one, two, three! Oh no, no one bid, seems like you're forfeit!

[ maybe... less cool? You can continue to watch the live cw for some murder and torturegore, if you want! Or turn it off because that's awful. Anyway, he real dead.

The camera clicks off! So you can go look for the body or try to intercept doll as she wanders the streets with a bleeding mess of an arm. Either way, welcome to televised murder, a fun game for everyone. ]

That is true...

[will be silent, then, until they get to sensitiv, where he unlocks the exam room door from the landing.]

[malignstar]

Where should we lie him down?

[tradesecret]

To clarify, are you suggesting having someone keep her on a figurative leash, or show our willingness to weaponized her nature?

[ she doesn't have a preference, really. At this point she seems willing to defer to either of them on anything except sacrificing someone else ]

[ The blade cuts practiced-deep, and, after the initial shock of getting the breath half knocked out of her fades, she uses the pressure of Req’s axe against her side to brace herself.

When Req leaps, she jumps back as well, quick planting the naginata’s staff against the ground so she can swing her legs around, trying to kick Doll’a feet out from under her at the same time as Req tackles her. ]

On one of the examination tables... [gestures to one of the two in the center of the room.]

With someone as genuine and personable as Manhattan, I don't think we'll be hated outright. What makes me uncertain is whether he'll be complicit in this, or if he will need... a confidant or two on-unit.

[theyregooddogs]

I saw it. Where are you?

[malignstar]

[ Going to do that gently ]

So, uh, is John coming or should we just wake him up? I figure you probably don't want to delay things much longer.

[knowsgrowsnow]

[ well it isn't hard. she doesn't have much to stop either move from her opponents and ends up hitting dirt but if the 'whoops!' she says is any indication, she's not even too fussed about it.

particularly not as she reaches with her free hand, clawing and gripping hard at nothing, but puppeting Req's to try and grab onto something of Demeter's. She may not be successful, the angle for herself is bad, and while she can orient by hearing to an extent, she's no daredevil either. ]

[stakesthesame]

[ --ggh,

She jerks a bit, squeezing those fingers harder-- more for the grip than anything-- as her hand just kinda goes absolutely fuck wild trying to grab at Amaranth?? what the fuck, ]

[forgottenmercy]

I hope it...goes well.

I don't know...as much as I should about ...what is necessary. [what is an IV]

1/2

[noteablekiller]

Why not both?

[turns his left hand palm up]

That was a mistake, and we regret the pointless suffering she caused, and will work to help her understand that kind of violence is only for our enemies. We offer to pay reparations to those who had to deal with the aftermath, and to the victim himself, but...

[and turns over his right]

she is still a member of this unit, and in this place that is sacrosanct. We won't abandon her, sacrifice ourselves, or demonize her. If that makes us enemies, so be it.

[forgottenmercy]

...I do not know if he's coming. Cobalt was trying to contact him...

[noteablekiller]

[and then relaxes and smiles a bit]

I think if we want to keep as much goodwill as possible, Eiji's suggest is best, and if we want to be truly hated, that would be easily done. But I think regret that is practical but not entirely convincing, brought on by a willingness to be unpopular for the sake of our unitmate, should have mixed results. Those who want to hate us will have enough reason, and those who want to still accept our drinks without guilt should be free to without being seen as villains themselves.

SensitIV dorm. They have an exam room now -- it's a second door on their landing.

Kuzuebiko lost a lot of blood, but Persephone said you guys were able to revive Moreau without any issue without extra fluids, so I'm not even certain it's necessary. Also, I can't even find blood packs in the store.

Still, I wonder if a saline IV might help for his blood pressure. Opinion?

[malignstar]

Well, if he's on his way, it should be all right to do the thing. He can give more aide once Kuzuebiko's awake.

[ He's going to set a hand on Shu's forehead and close his eyes, as he activates Recharge. It's a little strange, given that it's his first time doing it for someone who's not just unconscious and it's hard to keep his heart from beating slightly faster than normal as he uses his skill. ]

[theyregooddogs]

Yeah, do that. Check his pulse to see if he needs a transfusion. Store is the only option; I have no hematology equipment yet. If there isn't anything, I'll text you the solution for giving him the materials to create blood on his own. It's slow, but it can work.

[forgottenmercy]

[just...going to perch on the exam bed by Shu's body and just...keep a close eye on Sunshine.]

[malignstar]

[ Well, it should be working at least... ]

[peaceofwork]

I would like to point out that my plan is unlikely to result in a sacrifice. The attitudes of people here display a reluctance to face violence or death. They will take it as a sign of sincerity but will be unlikely to take the offer.

This plan that Codex argues will unnecessarily villainize and ostracize us. Forgive me, but I see no advantage in it.

[we_meet_again]

A recipe for blood generation would be helpful, thank you. I think that might be our only option, at the moment.

I'll get the materials for a saline drip. If you're available, would you be willing to administer the IV, if he needs one? I've never practiced this before and if you saw the Live then you know he's already suffered enough.

[theyregooddogs]

Already on my way. I'll get the solution.

[noteablekiller]

The advantage is to the overall health of the 'show'.

Very clearly no one who holds the power over us is interested in seeing us all get along to the best of our ability, to bend over backwards to find forgiveness and not antagonize. I'm not thinking of how to best avoid making enemies, what to do in that case is obvious. My point is that this is an opportunity to position ourselves as not everyone's friend, and create a more interesting production as a result.

[peaceofwork]

With all due respect, you are offering us up as sacrifices for the sake of a show. Sir, I cannot say I think this is wise. If nothing else, we are able to get more done if they are not focused on policing and survailling us.

[we_meet_again]

I think everything's gonna be okay.

I just got in touch with John. He's on his way with supplies, so Kuzuebiko will be in good hands.
