Peridot

[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.]

I didn't realize there was another member we were ignoring.

[also pinning Ratatosk]

We didn't ignore. He didn't talk to us!

Nobody asked either.

It's not our job!

Not your job?

Your whole argument was about consent. Whose job is it?

If he wants to say something, he should say it. Not just do things!

Obviously! What I don't like is another personality was in the room and we had him place the stones, and now a completely new team is going to be slammed as bad as Peridot was when you were new! Some heads up next time, maybe?

[not looking at him and setting her jaw]

I'm not saying you have to keep a leash on him or even be responsible for him if he's crazy. I don't know this situation at all, since it sounded like what he wanted was to protect you all. His actions don't have to be your responsibility. But if you don't want it, tell someone else so they can be aware! And keep his hands off game pieces this sensitive if he's this volatile!

We know we messed up!

[YOU WERE NOT MAKING THAT VERY CLEAR. sets his jaw at that though and pulls a breath in]

We can't ever do anything right with him!

Please stop fighting! We won't accomplish anything sniping at each other's faults.

What should we accomplish?

[flinches violently at that, looking faintly sick]

We can't control when he comes out, we couldn't ask him.

Did you know he was around?

Yes, but we can't predict what we'll do--he got himself and Cassie beheaded once, he didn't give a damn, so how could we expect this--

Apparently he gives enough of a damn to pull a stunt like this.

Before, he's always been that way from the start in bad games, I figured Emil was getting strong enough to do them on his own...

[biting his lip hard, curling into himself]

I don't know what he's thinking, not ever. He barely makes sense.

Shit.

Look. He doesn't have to be your responsibility. But if you don't want it, tell other people.

And what, Emil has to live with nobody trusting him or wanting to be around him ever again? That's his to tell.

He's not the only person with a split personality around here. In fact, people are pretty damn accommodating to situations like these. Maybe he ought to live with not being the one to place critical pieces while you're not sure how things are going with him. Since his comfort is coming out of Heliodor and Iolite's hide.

[full-body flinch with a little choking noise, scrubbing some wet out of his eyes pretty violently and turning away]

I'm sorry--I can't--I can't fix it--you're right--we're awful, we're always going to be awful no matter how hard we try--

...

[nnghhnnnnnnn]

[fffffff]

You made a mistake. You can do things to avoid future mistakes.

It's a big one. But people have done much worse. ...What matters most now is what you do now. Don't just give up like that.
