❧ peridot

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself in a densely wooded area, in a small clearing, facing a cabin. The windows all seem to be closed tightly, and there is a red "x" painted on the door.

There are several narrow pathways leading away into the forest, but it is dim and misty in the approaching twilight. Vines hang low from the trees, curling slightly, and the air is hushed and too quiet. There are no sounds of birds or animals.

I think our options are more limited than that.

You believe it is a problem of distribution of limited supplies? [gesturing to the bag]

Re: ❧ what the hell (discuss)

[ironically]

Yes. They probably all desire comfort, at least two of them will need mending, and perhaps surgery as well. Luck could be useful for all of them, as well as intuition.

So, who do you care to save the most, or do you split things up equally, as Ven will want to do, and hope that is enough?

The girl needs more comfortin'. It's real scary for young kids, you can't explain it proper.

Re: ❧ what the hell (discuss)

[ironically]

Comfort the young girl who is likely fine more than the man who is likely dying?

Re: ❧ what the hell (discuss)

[yourmama]

He's not gonna die if we fix him. Jeez.

[nods to Viola] Other than the girl, they seem to be able to withstand their circumstances. Give her the majority of the comfort. Focus surgery on the most severe case, and try and use the leftovers to patch up the third.

Re: ❧ what the hell (discuss)

Luck and intuition may be used to be make up for what we lack in other areas. On a scale of 1 to 20, chances are that small numbers will be all but useless, so if we want to have any effect, it's best to play the majority. Surgery and luck for the dying man, bandages and intuition for the broken boy, bed side manner and medicine for the girl?

Re: ❧ what the hell (discuss)

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Mmm, well... Yes, in that case, this may be the safest option... Though in that case, we are concentrating the least cumulative points to the most severe case!

Re: ❧ what the hell (discuss)

[ironically]

Who knows how severe her case is? Perhaps these creatures can die of fright.

[but nods]

If you want to hope that low points have an affect, then distribute a few points of the bedside manner if you like. And a few points of bandaging and medicine to the one that needs surgery so he doesn't die afterward.

Re: ❧ what the hell (discuss)

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...Well, I did bring up that line of thought...

I am sure that low points have an effect; simply a lesser effect. If we can spare them from the others, then they may help. Better to put them to use.

Re: ❧ what the hell (discuss)

[ironically]

Then I suggest this.

[IDK, WRITE IT OUT ON SOMETHING:

Man: 11 S, 3 L, 2 M, 2 B
Boy: 7 B, 7 I, 3 BM
Girl: 5 M, 6 BM

Re: ❧ what the hell (discuss)

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...Hmmm.

You are going for a more concentrated approach, whereas Ventus is going for a more balanced approach...

Re: ❧ what the hell (discuss)

[ironically]

[amused]

Who would have seen that coming.

Re: ❧ what the hell (discuss)

[boxupallthebutterflies]

I really don't feel like fighting over the placement of a few individual points. I am inclined towards your approach but...

Re: ❧ what the hell (discuss)

[ironically]

Keep surgery, bandage and medicine my way, let him do as he likes with bedside manner, intuition and luck. Isn't that was you call compromise?

Re: ❧ what the hell (discuss)

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...

All right. I'm fairly sure he more or less agrees with those important points, anyway.
