GM - Onyx

[dramatispersonae]

The room is like any other room, really—a cabin with a door, and windows, and beds. But the fireplace never gets warm, and the beds are hard, and the air is cold.

(Is it familiar, this place? It's hard to tell . . .)

On the table there is food—water, and dry bread, and there is a pot of stew that always stays warm, and full, and smells delicious.

There are also five cards, waiting for your decision.

DARK CARDS

[dramatispersonae]

Several black cards appear face-up on the table in the center of the room, a shadowy cold emanating off of them. There is writing around the edges—perhaps giving you an idea of what to expect?

Fall into a deep sleep (one round) (4 points)
The hero's eyes closed, and they couldn't move, drifting endlessly. But they could hear voices still, hear those calling to them, trapped unawaking and powerless while the world moved on around them.

[One teammate must touch each card to take its effects. Please feel free to play this out in the Discussion area at your leisure (it's suggested that you do this AFTER submitting your cards for the round). If you're not sure how an effect is supposed to work, please comment here and we'll answer you ASAP! If nobody chooses a card by the end of the round, please note this in the Decision, as all teammates will take that punishment at the beginning of the round upcoming.]

Uncontrollable cravings (5 points)
Want and want and want and want . . . what? Anything. Surely something would satisfy this craving. Surely if you just try everything, something will help . . .

Finger chopped off (8 points)
Thud! and it was gone. Where—? Indeed.

Skin ripped off one limb (8 points)
With a sharp rip and a shriek of pain, it was gone. Where….?

NIGHT FIVE

[dramatispersonae]

HAND

[dramatispersonae]

TOTAL POINTS: 2

Hand:
No cards tonight replace the cards you played. You are faced with the Dark cards played against you this round—but following that, the door to your cabin will open as soon as those punishments are taken, and you can find yourself back in the mockery of a Ring . . .

DARK CARDS

[dramatispersonae]

Due to your barrier, you receive no dark cards this night.

. . . another flower appears in your room. This one has alternating Jasper red and Sapphire blue leaves. Scratched into one of the leaves in miniscule writing (with the touch of a very delicately wielded claw) is the message "Use your keys and bonds."
