~GAME~

Who: everyone!
When: day 17, morning
What: GAME TIME

[ today, when the GAMESHOW notification goes off and the phone maps lead you to the game tower, the debris is still everywhere, the lobby is empty, and the elevators are unlabeled. The rules don't appear on your screens until after everyone has filed in, the doors have shut behind you, and the elevators have started up and risen at least a few stories.

your phones light up with instructions at the same time as the elevators all shudder to a stop, and a sharp hissing noise starts up as thin blasts of air enter from the walls and fills the room with a horrible, horrible smell. like straight up sewer rank awful. Luckily you won't have to deal with it for long, since you pass out so fast you won't even remember hitting the ground.

You wake up on the floor of a room with the rest of your unit. Mukuro's face isn't on any screens, but the first thing you might process as you regain consciousness is his boyish voice filling the air, shifting from calmly informative to as energetic as ever. ]

… courtesy of danna's abilities, we have much more exacting control over a much broader range of possibilities. Ah, and the stars of our show have just begun to stir!

Then, let's go over the rules of today's event once more!

[ and then he does show up, waist-up on the large tv-sized screen on the wall, smiling brightly beside a diagram demonstrating different possible outcomes - labeled with T's and B's and X's over "losing" stick figures. ]

Prisoner's dilemma! The max-tension psychological classic, with a secret agent feel~

This one is all about trust and betrayal. Originally, two people would be interrogated separately for information, and told that they would be spared if they turned on their partner. But if both of them kept their mouths shut, then their captors would have less over them and they both could be saved. While if they both betrayed one another, then they would both be punished! For either of them to win, at least one of them would have to take the risk and decide to "trust"~

Today's game is a three-person variant, or rather, a three-unit variant! This means that instead of just one other person, our idols will have to carefully consider the thinking of two whole other groups of people in their decision-making! But like the standard "prisoner's dilemma," only one person each is placed at risk ☆ Just like a sacrifice!

[ briefly, the display switches to images of flower arrangements ]

Additionally, since the idols haven't been told who their partners are, we've provided them with a small means of communication - courtesy of this goryou - for them to find some way to identify themselves, earn the other units' "trust," and get a read on what kinds of people now hold the fate of their unitmate in their hands!

[ and back to Mukuro, a bust shot with the diagram gone now ]

The results this time will be a little more complicated than the original "win/lose" scenario. In this case, even trusting each other won't get a good result. Betraying each other is worse, but only betraying someone who trusts you will save your sacrifice and bring your unit victory~! That's why it's important to convince the other units to "trust" no matter what!

And trusting someone who ends up betraying you - well, wouldn't that be just horrible?

Leeet's go! ♥

I thought so. Would Future have tried to lure us into playing one way just so they could play another?

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-07-21 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Why would they have tried to make us do this?
calmthefoxdown: (Can't heal stupid.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2018-07-21 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. But we're either really bad at interpreting flowers or that.
unbr8kable: (12)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-07-21 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[curses under her breath, folding her arms tight]

It was like exactly the same as the guys with a vendetta against us. What were we supposed to think?
calmthefoxdown: (Please turn off the sun.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2018-07-21 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
... I don't know. I want to take responsibility for it but I don't know if we can.
unbr8kable: (up in smoke)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-07-21 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
...

...I'll go over there and see what they want. We'll...figure it out.
calmthefoxdown: (The better one.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2018-07-21 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'll see too.

... Hey, Nemesis. I'm glad you're safe. I don't like the costs it took, but I'm glad for at least that.
unbr8kable: (thanks I hate it♪)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-07-21 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Uh,

[waves a hand, obviously off-balance]

I...it just works out that you and the new kids were fine; that would've been a fun first game.
calmthefoxdown: (Of course I was listening.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2018-07-21 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
Ah.

... Did Aibou seem a little different to you, by the way?
unbr8kable: (really now)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-07-21 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, kinda. Like, I hadn't known he knew that many words. Stress?
calmthefoxdown: (Aaand there he goes.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2018-07-21 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. We can check on him later.

[ And because this is actually one of the thing's he's worrying about most. ]

... What do you think Cardigan'll think about all this?
unbr8kable: (up in smoke)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-07-21 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
[shifty]

...Dunno. I mean, we won. And--we did what we thought was going to minimize damage without cheating anybody. I don't know what more they'd expect us to do.
calmthefoxdown: (See with your special eye.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2018-07-21 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... guess so.

[ Not really convinced but it's. True. ]
unbr8kable: (up in smoke)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-07-21 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about it, okay? You didn't do anything.
calmthefoxdown: (He's just always that disgusting.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2018-07-21 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Technically, we made decisions.
unbr8kable: (you know nothing jon snow)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-07-21 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Technically, we all talked about decisions. I had the final say. If anybody's pissed, you send them to me.
calmthefoxdown: (Please do.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2018-07-21 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
As if I'd do that.
unbr8kable: (really now)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-07-22 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Why not? I'm a ton better at yelling than you are.
calmthefoxdown: (Can't heal stupid.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2018-07-22 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
We're unitmates. Stick together, and all that.
unbr8kable: (sir puffs)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-07-22 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. So if somebody's causing trouble, you go get enforcer squad for backup.
calmthefoxdown: (Yes that's very interesting.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2018-07-22 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mm. ]

That's true.
unbr8kable: (you know nothing jon snow)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-07-22 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Teamwork. I'll take care of this. We'll take care of this. Okay?
calmthefoxdown: (How smol.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2018-07-23 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah. Got it.
