[dramatispersonae]

[Upon entering your team's cloud of mist, you find yourselves transported to a bare stone room with a single stone table and chairs. (The chairs have been bolted to the floor.) On the table are a 16 red stones, 8 blue stones, and a 2 black stones. There are also indentations around the edge of the table, each one marked in the color of one of the teams.]

Yes but.

[Well, Shadow and Carnelian 8|]

...yeah, I know, it's not happening. Maybe we can do shares...the stones don't split six ways evenly, though.

[ferrissaves]

He won't attack Ruby, and for reasons already established in a previous meeting, protecting Amethyst is in the best interests of... Aather as a general whole.

[No one wants to have to deal with a berserk Ryner, okay guys?]

We can increase the defense on the teams that get extra attack stones.

*he can't berserk if he can't breathe :|*

That might be okay. Let me think a second...

Re: Discussion

[ferrissaves]

[doing so]

Re: Discussion

[orange_sun]

Assume a sixth of the stones go to Carnelian and assume we respect Shadow's intent and keep our defense elsewhere. That's thirteen among eleven teams if those two are off limits. Our knights probably have preferences too, so assume each of us protects a team. So thirteen among seven...each gets two? Am I counting right?

Re: Discussion

[ferrissaves]

Sounds right to me.

Re: Discussion

[orange_sun]

*and then Sleuth showed up :|a maaaath*

...now there's seven of us, that means we've got two stones free. And I guess we know where some of them are going.

Re: Discussion

[ferrissaves]

Maybe we should simplify things.

These knights don't seem to have much of an opinion on distribution, so long as we don't die.

Re: Discussion

[orange_sun]

One of them forfeited his pick, one of them wants Peridot. I don't know what Mithos is going to do...Emerald, maybe?

Re: Discussion

[ferrissaves]

Maybe. Or a newer team.

Re: Discussion

[orange_sun]

Yeah, maybe...

...we're going to end up with one spare blue stone if we don't defend Carnelian, so Naoto and I think we should give it to Jasper or Heliodor.

Re: Discussion

[ferrissaves]

Agreed.

[A pause]

If something happens to Amethyst, I'll need to borrow you for a bit.

Re: Discussion

[orange_sun]

*nods*

That's fine.
