dramatispersonae | ROUND 1

[ Once everyone is through the door it swings shut behind you. You find yourself in a narrow room, about two people across and eight people deep. On the back of the door is a stylized sun with six rays of light spiraling out of the center. In the center of the sun is a pair of lips and they begin speaking: ]

Each team is in a room like this. You will choose which teams to attack and which teams to defend. Tell me when you have reached your decision.

You have fifteen "points" to attack with. You may use these in bundles of five or more.

You have five "points" to defend with. You may use these in either two and three or all five at once.

You may not defend or attack yourself. And you may not decline to play.

(ooc: CHOOSE WHICH TEAM(S) TO ATTACK AND WHICH TEAM(S) TO DEFEND.

You can attack in any combination of points that adds up to 15 as long as the smallest amount you use is 5. (So, for instance you can attack Team A for 15 points. Or attack Team A for 8 and Team B for 7. Or attack Team D for all 15)

You can defend in either all 5 points to one team, or 2 points to one team and 3 to another. (Defend Team Z for 5 or defend Team Y for 2 and Team F for 3).

I don't mind it. I don't really need to protect anyone in particular.

I can't protect everyone I want.

If everyone follows the plan everyone should have 15 protection on them to shield them completely.

Nobody can be shielded completely.

No, it would only be five. So, there would be ten.

Right. Sorry, I...

[hands through hair]

I'll go along with whatever the team decides, but it needs to be a decision we all reach on our own.

So would it be… Turquoise, Sapphire, and Ruby, protect Ruby?

No...it's protect the next team down from Ruby. Kunzite.

…That seems needlessly complicated. That way, we're forced to rely on the other teams to comply.

...everyone is relying on that now.

Mm. If that's what we have to do… We'll see.

It's okay. We're all the same.

So it's 15 points of attack and 5 points of defense... If it works everyone would still get hurt, but none worse than the others.

. . .

We don't know if everyone will follow through with the plan. And we left this to the mercy of everyone else once before.

I don't care what we decide. But if everyone else goes with it and we don't, we'll be labeled as badguys.

[nods]

No one'll trust us anymore.

On the other hand, we might end up like last time, and... [c-clenches his fist uuugh]

She also said that thing about ties needin' to be broken. It won't be that easy no matter what.

...

Does that truly matter now?

One marble . . . One death . . . It would be best to follow the pattern for that.

[nods]

If everyone doesn't follow . . .

We're no better off either way. But at least this is something.

We'll know by the second round, I'm sure.

Do you want to decide then? After all is said and done?

I'd rather not, but this is all the information we have right now.

[shaking her head]

I can't believe in them.
