[game 98: ruby and turquoise]

[You find yourself in what seems to be a small, sandy depression in the ground; you cannot climb the dunes to leave, and the sun is harsh and glaring, but bearable. There is a small dark pool in the center, but you may not want to refresh yourself with it — the water looks unfriendly. Writing stands out starkly on a small plinth in front of the pool, where it seems you're meant to leave your answers. Even if you cannot read it is strangely comprehensible.]

[RULES:
-You and your fellow team of heroes will be asked to divide 15 points between yourselves.
-You must come to an agreement about how this will be divided.
-For each point your team agrees to take, you will receive a certain amount of pain, in equal measure across all teammates. If you take 10 points, you will die painfully and be revived painlessly. Any more than that, and revivals will become increasingly painful, or perhaps impossible.
-The increase on the pain scale as you add more points is not completely straightforward. For example, there's a sharp divide between the amount of pain 7 and 8 points receives.
-Knights may choose to help you and bear points for you. However, the way each point taken from you in this way will be borne by any knights is different and harsher than it would be for you.
-If you have any questions, touch the water and ask them.

Will you be satisfied by the contract you bind yourselves to?]

Ah. Yes. Human sacrifice.

Cooperative sacrifice, even.

. . . This sounds a lot simpler than I was expecting.

Delightful.

So we're supposed to decide if we want to be hurt, or watch Ruby get hurt, huh?

With no choice otherwise, of course.

Thoughts?

Looks like it.

[soft sigh]

Brother is not on their team. That complicates matters somewhat.

[personal profile] shortfuse 2011-11-20 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Course not. Well might as well get it over with. I'll take whatever points necessary to win.
adharma: (must converge)

Why? If you want to protect his precious team speak up for that decision.

It is pretty straightforward...

Re: [discussion - ruby]

[personal profile] followtheblackrabbit 2011-11-20 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
I want to protect them as much as we can.

Unfortunately, there is no way to divide it except by team.

Orrr we could split it as evenly as we can and all get a little hurt. Ruby's a bunch of boys, so maybe they'll take the eight points.

[personal profile] medpacksapunch 2011-11-20 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
There are a lot of ways this could go bad.

...But I don't know-- the personae asked us about sacrifice, right? Is it really sacrifice if we don't know the other team? N-Not that I'm saying I want to hurt them, or anything...
oh_brother: (far away from the battlefield)

... then we must convince them, I suppose.
