dramatispersonae

JASPER

This room is as empty as the ring was, but for a round table with seats for everyone.

You can't see the Lady, but you can feel her presence, as it were.

...Really?

...Do you know anything about poison?

Not specifically, and I doubt it would be so easily identifiable even if I did. But I'd venture decent odds she's lying.

Why do you think that?

It's boringly straightforward. She'd make more of a game out of it if we were really meant to be killing each other.

[attempting to pour some out . . . .]

Well.

*. . . lol*

Lady Persona, you did not specify; we politely request that you drink it, so we can move forward.

[silence...]

*waggles the chalice in the air*

Really now? Will you tell us how to make it not deadly, then?

Jasper will find a way, will it not?

Jasper likes a hint at times, Lady. Must it be swallowed, to be counted as 'drunk'?

. . . you say "deadly," but there are gradations of deadly. How much of this would it take to kill one of us?

I wonder...

I see you're not terribly forthcoming. Must we drink everything in the chalice to pass this round?

I wonder too. If one of us drinks and really dies, would we be continuing the game like that? That doesn't seem very helpful to team unity.

[quietly]

You don't have to.

I don't want anyone to drink it.

. . . we'll figure something out.

...Okay. We'll think of something.

Maybe, if we all take a sip, it won't be as bad.

You think so?

Across the board, Personae are slightly more creative than 'here, now simply die,' even the cruel ones.

...So there's a trick to it. We just have to find it.
