MARSHMALLOW



[You find yourself in a very pink room, filled with roses and chocolate to munch on if you choose to.

There's an empty glass case on the table in front of you.

But not for long.]

If it stays at five, yes.

[. . .] I'm sure you can.

Which is to say, right now, I am okay.

[ Stubborn ass Sia is probably going to keep fronting I am so sorry. ]

If it stays at five, we go back to three. If it raises again while we are talking...we stay at four?

[so Jotaro is dealing with himself, got it]

Yes. I imagine it will raise again, but teams are either discussing it or waiting liker we are.

[ why are they both like this. ]

In the meantime, we should discuss any further plans.
oraorarush: no. i'm going to the aquarium and I need the sea otters to like me (is she going on a date?)

Six teams now.

[he inclines his head] In the event your heart shatters?
zazen: (6)

[personal profile] zazen 2021-02-13 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, in the event that my heart shatters.

[ Considering the number of teams. ]

Three still seems safe at six, doesn't it?

[as casually as he says anything:] I'll offer mine up.

If it stays at six, yes. But if it goes up, we should choose four.

That is a sound plan. We will wait a bit longer before making our choice final.

[ but why would someone who doesn't even know him well replace him-- ]

Are you sure that is a sacrifice you are willing to make? Especially for someone you hardly know.
oraorarush: (we're drawn to one another)

Of course.

[he considers the question, glancing at Trix and Aya] Yes. Whether or not I know you doesn't really matter when we're meant to be working together.

And it's not something they shouldn't have to do.

[ He really wouldn't want to put this on any one of them. ]

Very well. In the event that my heart shatters, that will be our plan. But I think we have been doing fairly well...considering the circumstances.

[he doesn't know anyone too well on the team but lbr he's not about to let them take it when he's perfectly capable]

We have. I'm a little surprised.

[ If it shatters it'll be like a race to the glass case-- ]

It helps that we have mostly kept our cool, I think. Panic would do no good right now.

[jotaro has a punchy ghost that he isn't afraid to use to keep them from getting there.

The corner of his mouth twitches, just a little]


No, not really. I'm used to keeping a cool head in situations like this, at least.

I think as of right now, we can finalize our choice.

[ Since it seems that the number hasn't moved. ]

Are you familiar with situations like this?
oraorarush: no. i'm going to the aquarium and I need the sea otters to like me (is she going on a date?)

Re: Discussion

[personal profile] oraorarush 2021-02-13 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll do that, then.

[a wry sort of noise]

I'm familiar with situations where staying calm can be . . . challenging. Life or death situations, along those lines.

I can relate to you on that matter, at the very least.

[ He rubs his chest, just slightly, around that weird hole. ]

Though I have confidence that at least in our current situation, we have been making the most sound choices possible. Though it doesn't promise anything...it does help keep an air of calm right now.

While it doesn't help, the unpredictability of it all makes it easier to stay calm, in a way. That may sound strange, but. [a shrug]

No, that makes perfect sense.
