SCHEMES

[iamverybadass]

Who: Talon and many people
Where: Unit dorms! (Excluding Avante who was visited here and Zrael who is scheduled for the last visit this weekend)
When: Day 113, noon and into the afternoon

[ Were you just sitting down to lunch? Hoping to take a trip to the onsen or amusement park? Maybe finally getting around to reading that new book you picked up from the library?

Well too bad, because now this little shit is knocking on your unit's door for some reason, and he's not leaving. ]



[ OOC: For Talon running around discussing a protection plan in the event a protection game is run again! This seemed easier than waiting for a dozen team posts to happen. Will definitely tag this for several days at least, so no rush. ]

[ points at ]

You. I would like to speak with you personally after I've said what I need to for your unit.

[criminaljustice]

[... looks behind himself.



looks back to Talon













points to self?]

[iamverybadass]

Yes. You. I've needed to for some time, but...

[ shrugs ]

This place keeps all of us busy.

[criminaljustice]

That tends to be how it goes. Waiting for "when things are calm" is waiting for never, basically.

[iamverybadass]

I know...

...Anyway. This meeting should ensure at least one moment of calm in the future. Do you recall Exael's protection game?

[criminaljustice]

Which one?

--or was the first one a Mukuro one?

[... actually doesn't remember that part. um. thinking tho]

[iamverybadass]

...The one where all we had to do was choose one other unit to protect, and anyone unprotected did not survive.

[criminaljustice]

... I might be misremembering because it was before the betrayal house, but... think there was two games like that.

I missed both.

Most recent one, Thorn and Tatsuya were there and stripped down so they wouldn't get their clothes bloodied.

[they knew they were going to die and they were not wrong.]

But that first one... I think Hurricane might've run around to alert people the game was happening? And they managed to save everyone with the idea of everyone voting for the floor above them.

... below them?

[look it's been 200 years since this for him, give him a break.]

[iamverybadass]

I don't think I was present for that game... The one with different floors.

For the recent one, Silver offered to knock all of us out because we were so certain we would die.

[criminaljustice]

Did you?

[iamverybadass]

No. We had finalized an alliance with sensitIV not long before that game and it... It proved to us that we could trust each other. We weren't sure it would work out until then.

[criminaljustice]

[... welp.

chances for alliances for Bad End is... none. probably.]

Mm.

Like I said, the different floors arrangement happened very early on. Within the first month. That time's kind of fuzzy in my memory, so you're probably better off asking someone like Intensity who keeps track of stuff like that and has been here since the start.

[iamverybadass]

I will. Thank you for informing me.

For this one...ah. I've explained my proposal to two of your members already, so I'll keep this brief. C was warned Exael's game may be run again. I am trying to arrange pairings between the units to ensure everyone is protected, so I'm requesting any preferences that each unit has regarding that.

[criminaljustice]

[... ah.

hesitates.]

I don't know if there's any unit that would think to protect Bad End.

[that's... just how it is.]

[iamverybadass]

... We avoided hitting you in the last game, you idiot. What the hell kind of person do you think North is?

In any case, it doesn't matter who would think to protect you. I will arrange the assignments so everyone is protected. That is the entire point.

[criminaljustice]

That's different from picking one unit to save.

You guys have your alliance with SensitIV.

So it's not that I don't think North would want to protect me, but that I think that your unit itself has higher priorities. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. It did save you guys at least once, if not more often.

And it's about the same for most other units, I'm pretty sure.

[iamverybadass]

...

As I said, I will arrange the assignments to protect everyone. And there is no reason for anyone to change their vote to another unit that is already protected in this strategy. You will be protected.

[criminaljustice]

[so trust you to find the right partner for Bad End, huh.

quiet for a long moment before sighing, running his hand through his hair.]

Bad End decides things with unanimous vote. Give a bit of time, we should have an answer.

[maybe.]

[iamverybadass]

Of course. I assume all the units will want time to discuss this among themselves.

[criminaljustice]

Yeah, makes sense.

So? What is it you wanted to talk about with me? Specifically.

[iamverybadass]

...I was among the people who went into your...heart? Soul? Whatever it was we witnessed in that game.

[criminaljustice]

Heart.

... more of the cognitive sense of the term. It's kind of the stuff I did back home.

From what I hear, a lot of people went around in it.

[iamverybadass]

A lot of people went around a lot of them.

I wanted to—... I felt it was only fair to tell you what I found in there. If you want to know.

[criminaljustice]

I'm not gonna say no.

Other people have told me what I think is probably the worst of it, so I'm all ears.
