[GAME 105] KUNZITE

[dramatispersonae]

[You find yourself in a large, tatami-floored room. Three of the walls are made of paper, the fourth side of the room has bamboo screens tied up to the ceiling to reveal a wide wooden corridor that serves as a porch. Beyond it is a lovely garden, though it's difficult to see clearly -- it's night, after all, and there are only so many lanterns. The room itself is well-illuminated by candles on tall stands. Its main feature is an elaborate sleeping area in the very center: what is presumably a futon and "bedroom" concealed from view by a canopied tent that hangs from the ceiling. It is tied closed. A row of lacquered screens and kimono stands draped in rich fabric stretch from either side of the canopy to the walls. You can't quite see past them, but you have the impression that there are people on the other side. The faint smell of incense wafts from a nearby burner.

Despite the opulent furnishings, the entire room gives the impression of faint decay, as though it has not been used in quite some time.]

I see... To make up for having to sleep, I guess.

Re: DISCUSSION

[heteronormative]

Yeah, maybe? I guess the question is do we go with me again or swap our strategy?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sightunseen]

...I like the thought of three for three... however, this is the round where it's most likely for people to use nightmare, I think.

Re: DISCUSSION

[supersensitive]

...I thought that too, but it feels a little weird when we won against Baku each time ourselves...

Re: DISCUSSION

[heteronormative]

Man, I got no idea why a team'd be likely to do what. You mean 'cause they used up other options earlier?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sightunseen]

People would be more likely not to use nightmare at first because it has an ominous sound to it, maybe~ but that's just a guess.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

Wouldn't it depend on the team?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sightunseen]

Yes, of course.

Re: DISCUSSION

[supersensitive]

Right, it just feels like that... Or more, because even though they're all the same when it comes down to it, it feels more "powerful," and this is where people would probably want to advance their lead or make up for losses.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sightunseen]

[nods]

Exactly. However, it may be inaccurate.

Re: DISCUSSION

[supersensitive]

[nods!]

There's really no telling, yeah.

Re: DISCUSSION

[odetojoy]

No. I still think it's easier to keep the strategy.

Re: DISCUSSION

[supersensitive]

We can do that too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sightunseen]

I like that as well.

Re: DISCUSSION

[odetojoy]

We should stick to our strategy. It fits our team.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sightunseen]

It does, doesn't it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[odetojoy]

Yes. The other roles wouldn't fit.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

Which team did you face?

Re: DISCUSSION

[heteronormative]

It was one of the Knights with Peridot.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

So a different team each time.

Re: DISCUSSION

[heteronormative]

Yep. Guess it makes sense, so we don't know what a team's lost.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

[CURSE YOU WRONG ICON]

Well, that's one of the teams that'd be most likely to use Nightmare now. And you said you already faced Amethyst. How do you feel about the rest of the teams?

Re: DISCUSSION

[heteronormative]

Uh, I guess I think Nightmare's kinda in the middle and that's why it ain't likely to be used. Baku's got "consume" right, so it's on the hardcore side, and Dreamer's on the mildest side. You don't got a lot of middle road teams who'd pick Nightmare instead of one of the other two. Torment's kinda like. You gotta be a real specific type to torment.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

But your luck lies with Dreamer.
