[You enter a plain white room that has a TRAGEDY mask hanging on the far wall. There is a table with three boxes: one red, one black, and one gold.]

You'll need to pick one of these. Which one will it be ... ?

I certainly hope not. Oh, this will be more difficult than usual, if we are all small.

Re: DISCUSSION

First we should cover ourselves in dirt so we're harder to spot. Then we can dig a pit, cover it in branches and put the stuffed bunny on top of it. Once the tiger falls in we can drop a net on it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[nphardfeelings]

That is a fair idea; but do you think we can dig a pit deep enough to thoroughly trap a tiger, in time?

[examining one of her paws skeptically]

Re: DISCUSSION

[stigmateyes]

Probably not.

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourpeacock]

-- oh, we could tie the net to rope on every corner, and cover that with leaves. When the tigers pass by we'll tug it up and they'll become entangled in it. Once we have them like that we can toss the second net over them and tie them up.

...

That worked for the rabbit people in my memory.

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourpeacock]

We got a chance, then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[featherfetch]

We need to get the rope over a branch somehow. Can we throw it when we are like this?

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourpeacock]

Oh. That's better.

[let's try throwing the rope. IDK IF ACTUALLY CAN]

Re: DISCUSSION

[featherfetch]

Ah... I thought that's what you meant. And then we could all pull and catch the tiger in the net off the ground. The branch would be like a pulley so the weight should not be a problem.

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourpeacock]

But can we catch both like this?

Re: DISCUSSION

[stigmateyes]

Maybe if we stack some of the stones, we can jump.

Re: DISCUSSION

[featherfetch]

A fake rabbit will not be very good bait, so I will lure them onto the net.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stigmateyes]

Bad idea. If it smells like a rabbit, it'll work.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stigmateyes]

That's right! Pascal should have a better idea of what we're capable of like this.

Re: DISCUSSION

[featherfetch]

...Eh? I... I should?

Re: DISCUSSION

[nphardfeelings]

Both the tigers at once? Also, we would need a mechanism to pull the corners up properly.

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourpeacock]

Not if it's just to trip them. We only have to hide on different sides and pull it up on queue.

... and I don't wanna trap only one tiger, the other one would eat us. It's either trapping them both or looking for a place to hide until they're gone.

Re: DISCUSSION

[nphardfeelings]

We are not very tall; I am not sure we could pull it up very high, nor would it be easy to throw the second net on top of them. And I only mean that it may be difficult to lure both tigers into standing on the trap simultaneously.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stigmateyes]

They'll both come over if there's something to get their attention. We've got the stuffed rabbit too. Maybe we could hang that off the tree?

Re: DISCUSSION

[nphardfeelings]

It does not smell much like an actual rabbit, but perhaps they would be curious enough to get close nevertheless.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stigmateyes]

... How are we going to get in the tree?

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourpeacock]

... we're not. We'll hide behind the trees. Once they're confused I'll just grab the second net and climb over them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stigmateyes]

We'll also need to roll some rocks over to hold the net in place. And we'll need something to lure them here first.

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourpeacock]

Pascal's idea is better.
