Huh.

Re: Discussion

[peers in... what team? :|a]

[looking into the water]

Nice architecture.

Re: Discussion

[considering the pool and... whatever they're looking at]

[dormancy]

[what they said]

Round One

[dramatispersonae]

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

I've asked Kunzite to make out. 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

[dormancy]

Haha, do they need a reason? Of course, they will.

Re: Round One

[uroboric]

Haah... what a surprise.

Re: Round One

[antreegonist]

. . . yep, unless they're trying to psyche out the betting team.

Re: Round One

[shipwithwings]

Oh, it is Kunzite, of course they will.

Re: Round One

[playfreebird]

Considering... I would say yes.

Answer

[dormancy]

We bet that they will.

And then...

[dramatispersonae]

[the twins laugh]

You are correct!

[in the pool, you see Bones and Liberty make out enthusiastically]

Re: And then...

[dormancy]

Haha, well done!

Round Two

[dramatispersonae]

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

Hello heroes~

Your task for now is simple. You must eat up all of the little treat 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 white paper bag full of what appear to be dead black beetles]

Re: Round Two

[uroboric]

Pass.

Re: Round Two

[antreegonist]

. . . can't be worse than spider eggs.

Re: Round Two

[dormancy]

It'd be a shame if it wasn't worth something.

Re: Round Two

[shipwithwings]

Oh, is that all? I can eat those.

Answer

[dormancy]

[No one is going to eat them. \o/]

Round Three

[dramatispersonae]

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

I've asked Kunzite 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

[shipwithwings]

Oh, that one is trickier.

And then...

[dramatispersonae]

No dice!

[You can clearly see Meadow punch Liberty with all her strength... although it doesn't even bruise him...]

Re: And then...

[sticksofthejedi]

Spast, couldn't account for them doing it without consequences.

Round Four

[dramatispersonae]

[You're back in the black room. The voice of the twins echoes down from the watery ceiling]

Hello heroes~

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

[uroboric]

Hmm... well, it just looks like water.

Final Round!

[dramatispersonae]

Well done, Iolite! Your team now has a total of ~9 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!

[shipwithwings]

I haven't the faintest clue, but the Personae sound like the sort who would prefer a losing gamble over no gamble at all, so I do not think it matters too much whether we are right or wrong as long as we pick something.
