Game 73: Peridot

[ You find yourself in an empty banquet hall. At one end of the room is a long table, on the surface of which you'll find a blank sheet of paper, a pen, and a pot of ink. ]

[ A voice echoes through the hall: ]

Many of you have completed tasks during games that you found to be embarrassing or humiliating. What I am interested in are your limits. What type of task do you find the most embarrassing? What would be too humiliating to handle? Crossdressing? Kissing? Confessing your true feelings? Something that hasn't been mentioned?

Decide on your answer as a team and write it on the paper provided. Incomplete answers may come with certain . . . consequences.

[ the voice is back, and there are now nice dresses laid out for you ]

You must cross-dress, unless you find it too embarrassing to do so.

Are there any circumstances under which you would cheat to win a game? Why or why not?

Would you kill, if it meant your team's survival? Would you kill simply to win a game? Under what circumstances would killing another person or another team be an acceptable alternative?

I don't have a problem with any of those...

. . .

Ugh.

[nods, unsurprised by that ugh] If we're...do you think we're supposed to be answering for all of Peridot, or for just the people here?

It says as a team. I suppose we could clarify that there are different opinions amongst its members, unless the Personae is only interested in what we propose as a unified solution.

I was thinking...maybe getting naked would be too much for Beatrice, so maybe we should put that down?

I would rather not, and I am sure Beatrice feels much the same, do anything that compromised my dignity. However, if it is a matter of what we would not do for the sake of the team it is absolutely circumstantial.

That...kind of sounds like a good answer right there. Though...I don't know if it would make a different in the answer, but if there's a challenge like that for just one person, I can always do it. But you're a lot better at wording these things than I am.

Shall I provide an answer of that sort, then?

Yeah, that'd be great. And...Lelouch, I...I kind of feel like I should apologize in advance, if I freak out all over you again.

I don't really want to hear it. If you have to apologize for your actions, then you aren't firm enough in your beliefs.

I am personally unwilling and unable to address specifics of comfort pertaining to teammates that aren't here to speak for themselves. As it stands, however, I would say that we have a definite line between what we prefer and what we may be willing to do under extreme duress in the better interests of those we care about. I personally find kissing, crossdressing, and confessions extremely distasteful, but do have some perspective on sacrificing my own dignity for some measure of a greater good. There are those on my team that would feel no discomfort or embarrassment whatsoever in doing things that would deeply discomfit others. I think Ventus and I would be hard-pressed to find a good reason to deliberately harm or upset someone we care about, or ask them to do something they weren't comfortable with, if we are speaking to those types of limits. Essentially the answer comes down to what aligns best with our key driving principle, that being the happiness, success, safety and well-being of our team and, by extension, those important to us.

. . . are we just toys for your amusement, then . . .

[falling quiet and looking away as Lelouch writes up the answer, looking like he's sorting through things to say and discarding them]
