Maybe there'll be another round where we switch up.

Looks like it.

You think if I dropped something down there, I could whack one of 'em on the noggin?

Maybe we get bonus points if you do.

Round One

[dramatispersonae]

[You can see Amethyst moving around in the pool. The Twins' voice echoes from the ceiling]

I've asked Amethyst to eat some black beetles! It's actually candy, but don't tell them. Now, do you bet they will or that they won't? Remember, they don't know which action will get them points.

Re: Round One

[performing]

Candy, huh ...

Lucky Amethyst. Do you know if they're the adventurous sorts?

ANSWER!

[hrrrr]

Why not, let's go with yeah, they will.

And then...

[dramatispersonae]

No dice!

[Nobody on Amethyst eats the beetles]

Round Two

[dramatispersonae]

[The room shimmers -- the walls turn black, the pool becomes a small chest, and the ceiling turns watery]

Well, now! It's your turn.

Your task for now is simple. Two of you must make out enthusiastically for at least a full minute, timed by the stopwatch in the chest. Now, because this is a wager game, you're making a little bet with us, here -- completing the task might be worth points. Then again, NOT completing the task might be worth points. It's up to you to take a chance!

Motion seconded!

[hmmm.]

Round Three

[dramatispersonae]

[You're back in the white room with the pool -- you can see Amethyst moving around in the pool. The Twins' voice echoes from the ceiling]

I've asked Amethyst to punch a teammate! Now, do you bet they will or that they won't? Remember, they don't know which action will get them points.

Re: Round Three

[performing]

... it's like this question was made for us ... somehow ...

ANSWER!

[performing]

Guess not ...

And then...

[dramatispersonae]

Awww, no dice!

[Break punches Suzaku out of nowhere]

Round Four

[dramatispersonae]

[The room shimmers -- the walls turn black, the ceiling turns watery, the pool turns into a chest, and the voice of the twins echoes down from the watery ceiling]

It's your turn~

Your task for now is simple. You must drink up the mystery drink that's inside the chest. Now, because this is a wager game, you're making a little bet with us, here -- completing the task might be worth points. Then again, NOT completing the task might be worth points. It's up to you to take a chance!

[when you open the chest, there is a little bottle full of clear liquid]

Re: Round Four

[performing]

Not a bad punch. Four out of five.

Final Round!

[dramatispersonae]

Well done, Sapphire! Your team now has a total of ~8 points~ with an exciting change to go DOUBLE OR NOTHING!

Let's make one last bet. Do you think you're doing better than the team you've been observing? If so, bet YES. If no, bet NO.

You can, of course, refuse to bet, and keep the points you have now... but where's the fun in that?

Re: Final Round!

[performing]

Eight points? Really?? That's better than I thought ...

ANSWER!

[performing]

We're going with "NO."
