CITRINE

[As the game begins, each team finds themselves standing in a small ring of stones. The crystal pillar rests in the center of the circle, easily within sight and hearing of everything that will be going on. You can leave and see the other columns if you like, but once the game has started you can't see what the other teams are doing.

Also present is a small wrought-iron table, on which a curious mechanical swan rests. There's a glass panel set into its back, under which you can see a corroded key. The swan seems to be completely lifeless.]

Shut up, Drift. You were upset. Stop trying to pretend otherwise.

You shut up, you suck and you made Sunny freak out.

It was a burden to share. Don't act like I don't go through that every day.

[his head snaps up, his eyes flashing for a second]

Both of you shut up! Stop arguin'!

I—fine.

Don't you talk to me about pretending!

I've killed replicas before. Maybe I should've shared that with you.

Shut up.

Fine. But at least I do what needs to be done.

All she needed to do was kill me. A life for a life. That's fair.

Maybe somewhere else. But not here. She wasn't real.

I'm just as real as she is.
