Monday DE: JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!

Mrlgh.

Today's DE, which has absolutely not in any way been shamelessly nicked from Debi in crackchat...

All the characters you play get into a death match. How does that play out?
configuration_birdwatcher: Bastion with the red optics of active combat protocols, staring blankly forwards above the camera's eye level. (combat protocols)

Most of mine normally wouldn't fight each other, and the ones who would with sufficient provocation or bribery wouldn't fight all of the others - there's the possibility of everyone else having to fight Bastion if their combat programming activates in a particularly hard-to-dissuade manner, but the rest of them wouldn't fight each other - but I wanted to answer the question straight so I went with a mind-control-y handwave.

In that scenario there's a decent chance that Wilson knocks Bastion out harmlessly with a Pan Flute, along with anyone else standing too close, and they're fine after they come out of sleep mode. (I forgot about the panflute when I made my first post; that might tip the scales in the to-the-first-death version if he can get in range to use it on the heavy hitters, but he still can't win a game of resurrection poker against Aradia or Yochelm in the last-person-standing version.) Crisis now averted, they band together to break out of the arena.
