DRAMA

[You step into a small room, reasonably comfortable room with plenty of chairs for you to sit on, and the door promptly locks behind you. Everything is decorated in your team colors, with splashes of neutral cream.]

On one wall is a huge, laminated poster bearing your instructions. On the lone table in the middle of the room, you find a tall glass cylinder labelled "Bank"; it contains 15 small orbs in your team color. You also find: four buttons (Hand, Shield, Lunch, Kit) that you can press should you wish to make a purchase; the six cards that are to be your starting hand; and five card-shaped, team-colored slots. Your team color is notably missing.

Everything is utterly indestructible, no matter what you try to do.]

I'm fine. Let's focus on getting through this.

[. . . well, she's shut down for the game]

[He can understand that, at least]

[Nods, and turns his focus back onto the cards]

I think I'd like to just play two this round. But, mm ... if the others aren't okay with that, then I guess we'll have to go with beating somebody unconscious. [ She manages to say that without any outward flinching. ]

That'd be my plan, but. . . ha. I'd prefer two cards too, if I'm gonna be honest.

... and, you know, I wonder if we shouldn't switch out the beating and the deage anyway.

If they're stuck in the body of a kid, there's no way they'd be able to defend themselves from other attacks.

. . . if they're resourceful, they'll find other ways. Trust me.

Not everybody has your experience or resourcefulness. [ Pointing that out liiightly. ]

[mrrrgh she's right about that. raking his hand through his hair]

S'not like they're alone either, though. There's someone experienced on every team but History, right? That we know of, anyway.

Mm, but then they'd be forced to focus on helping whoever got deaged instead of ... everything else.

I really don't think it's a good idea ... we could save that card just in case we get a bad hand later.

[Staring at her, a hint of puzzlement in his expression]

Coco. . .

I think a kid might have a better chance at defending themselves than an unconscious person.

It's easier to fix somebody who's unconscious than it is to fix somebody who's been deaged.

[ She meets his gaze, level and even and not feeling aaaaanything. ]

We don't even know if any of this is gonna get reversed later.

And do you know how much damage someone might have to go through before passing out?

If we want to save a card for later, just in case we get a bad hand, the let's save that one.

Depends on who's doing it.

See what Kudo-kun thinks, anyway, and then check back with me.

. . .

[His frown deepens, and he looks like he wants to ask something, but. . . decides against it]

What?

[ She caught that look. ]

. . . nothing. S'fine.

Kit. Whatever it was, say it.

Later. It can wait.

…

[ Shrugs, turning away slightly and spinning the Prosopagnosia card around on the tip of her finger. ]

Alright.

[SORRY AOKO he is just fairly certain this is a conversation to have. Alone]

[ After a llllong moment of silence: ]

Let's put it to a vote. We both have valid points, and it's only fair to let everyone weigh in.

I can slot things in after that.

I'll ask around.

And I'll do it, too.

You don't have to.

I know I don't, but neither do you.

[ EYEROLL ]

[ and then she falls quiet to eavesdrop ]
