IC RULES

[lovestained]

- Each unit has three vials to choose from: one contains poison, one contains antidote, and one contains water.
- Choose one vial to drink and one vial to send to another unit of choice. The remaining vial will be removed from play.
- Units which keep the antidote for themselves must send the poison.
- All vials contain two doses. Once one dose has been taken, the idol who took that dose will be incapable of taking the second.
- Once vials are exchanged, units must drink all vials in their possession.
- Winners will be any units who successfully poison another unit.
- If no unit successfully poisons any other unit besides their own, the game will continue until at least one unit manages to do so.

POISON EFFECTS

[lovestained]

Antidote received from another unit is diluted and each dose will only balance out half a dose of poison. Characters who drink a dose of poison and no antidote should pick at least two physical and at least two mental symptoms from the below lists, while characters who drink both poison and an antidote from another unit should choose at least one each. Units who kept their own antidote will find it counteracts the poison perfectly.

People can split doses between them as they like, but the effects will be full strength regardless of whether you have half a dose or an entire dose.

PHYSICAL:
- rot (three body parts/organs)
- blindness (accompanied by severe burning sensation in the eyes and an inability to cry, OR atrophy + eye loss)
- ossification (portion of body/organs turn to bone)
- glass bones (glass bones)
- hanahaki but also there's blood and it hurts a lot (violently coughing up flowers as a consequence of not verbally expressing feelings for someone)
- constant state of drowning unless in contact with liquid (no death)
- increasingly painful oversensitivity to physical contact with another person + rubbing harder than gentle brushing causes flesh to slough off
- all touch causes severe stab wounds at location of touch (avantes not immune)

MENTAL:
- extreme paranoia
- extreme gullibility
- violent bloodlust
- loss of personhood
- loss of identity
- alignment/morality switch
- emotion swap + amplification (emotions become incredibly overblown + things that would cause sadness cause anger, or things that would cause happiness cause fear, etc.)
- inability to express positive emotions non-violently
- belief that oneself is dead
- belief that everyone one knows is dead

Poison effects will last for 5 IC days. Characters do not know that antidotes received from other units are weaker, that splitting vials will not dilute the effects, or the full list of possible poison symptoms IC. Learn through experience ☆

ENDGAME

[idolpro]

[ Once you're back in the Game Tower, there's a ton of seafood platters for everyone to enjoy! Yay!

Also some people are like rotting physically and mentally but that's probably whatever. The screen turns on, showing the Red Sea Witch again: ]

And today's winners are: LiliS, BAD END=DEAD END, future is now, ✩ZRAEL, Heart Soldier Senshi, and BARiTONES! Also, by fan demand, sensitIV gets a special prize for, um...

...

"Literally doing nothing"! Congratulations, everyone ✩ I'll make sure my next game is much more hands on, ehehe! ✩

[ Characters on units that which won but were poisoned are healed of all of their status effects, or all but one of their status effects (player choice)!

Every member of sensitIV gets no points but DOES get all of:
- A plushie of themself (but with the features of [sea creature of player's choice])
- A dakimakura of themself (but with the features of [sea creature of player's choice])
- A figurine of themself (but with the features of [sea creature of player's choice]) ]

[happydreamed]

[Physically fine! His expression is radiating a palpable aura of Guilt, and if certain people approach him he may actually flinch.]

[outofoffice]

[ Drifting over, carrying a dakimura of himself for some reason ]

Doctor?

[sangreine]

[ Also physically fine! Emotionally -- well. ]

And what did you do with this little adventure, hm~?

[ Aliza might look normal, but she's grinning like a fiend (after a game like that?!) and her tone is one of sneering contempt thinly veiled by wry amusement. Something went really wrong. ]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Awwww, look at you, as if you didn't get exactly what you fucking wanted.

[gemuinemanagement]

[-ossification (left arm, torso)
-all touch causes severe stab wounds at location
-extreme gullibility
-loss of identity

This is fine! This is kind of what he expected, it's alright. Not at all freaked out about one of his arms having turned to bone.

Carefully eating some shrimp one-handed.]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Holy shit, what happened to you? Thought we got out scot-free that round.

[daios]

Robin...

....... Are. Mmnh. Are you pleased with your decision, at least? And. How can I help...?

[sangreine]

[ As soon as they're back in the game tower, Aliza grabs her katana and starts storming around the room, eyes glowing the color of clotted blood, practically snarling. How dare he do this to her? Messing with her yet again? She'll find him and have a little fun of her own. ]

[ If you're in her way, it's possibly she may shove you. Entirely your fault for getting in her way when she's after someone. ]

Re: ENDGAME

[glidinglight]

[ That... ended surprisingly fast. She's a little wary of it to be honest. ]

Re: ENDGAME

[drownout]

[Sometimes one gets bombarded in soft sea-themed merchandise of oneself and one is too blind to be able to tell what subject is featured in them so they don't immediately get tossed in the garbage.]

Um... if anybody needs to have their pain dulled...

[A bit of an awkward offer given his current pose but look.]

Re: ENDGAME

[trainphreaking]

...Well. Suppose that worked out.

Re: ENDGAME

[proceedwithcautus]

[ she has been presented with... a plushie that's an eirene, but has sea bunny slug features instead of normal bunny features?

if you need healing she might let you hold it. ]

Um—please raise a hand or shout if you need a healer!

Re: ENDGAME

[at_heart]

[ ...And he can breathe again. They got the win. Everyone's... everyone's okay. It sounds like a lot of people won, actually, but not avante, and not pep.

Scanning the crowd, looking for faces he recognizes or — anyone who looks hurt, honestly. This one sucked. ]

Re: ENDGAME

[alchemechanical]

[ Amidst the many bodies pouring out in endgame, two are only visible for the briefest of moments before disappearing under their hats and taking their leave. ]

[ The only thing left behind are a pair of alcheME hats sitting side by side, the occasional rabbit hopping out of one to wander around the area. ]

Re: ENDGAME

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[Valor looks completely fine and also incredibly amused]

Cannot fucking believe we made it out without getting fucked up even a little. Thanks for all the antidotes.

Re: ENDGAME

[paradiseunboxed]

[Honey doesn't emote a lot even at the best of times, but he seems ill at ease at endgame. there's a few brief moments to catch him, as he's taking in the status effects that are visible around the room, but otherwise he's going to exit the Game Tower as quickly as possible. he does not seem to be suffering from any status effects himself.]

CW: Blood

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ Sitting on the ground after the game, coughing into his sleeve. He seems to be coughing up... petals? As well as blood. Clutching his chest, he wheezes choking on it all while trying to clear his mouth with a sleeve. ]

. . . I guess- [ Blegh... ] It... It was a deadly poison after all.

Re: ENDGAME

[toyger]

[His ears pinned back a little.]

Well, I hated that. But at least we made it out ok.

Re: ENDGAME

[coinstar]

We did it, we won~

[and quickly looking around to see if Aliza is trying to do a murder]

Re: ENDGAME

[firstworldproblem]

At least sensitIV seems to enjoy themselves with whatever it is they do behind closed doors.

Re: ENDGAME

[cloudretainer]

[she looks completely unruffled, and has an LED scarf drooped around her shoulders. It's very cute.]


...Is that it?
