AMETHYST

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself inside an elegant room, lit with a crystal chandelier shaped like a swan’s wings. Inside, there are just enough couches and chairs to seat you all. The room is bracketed on all sides by glittering golden bars, which flare inward and taper off at the ceiling. All along the bars hang the portraits of your fellow Heroes and Knights, each with an indentation along the bottom of the frame.

In the middle of the room, there is a table, and on that table are several clusters of perfect tear-shaped rubies. Six for each of you. As with memories, you instinctively know which of the gems are yours. If someone should touch one that isn’t theirs, it will disappear from their hand, and appear in that of their rightful owner.

Round 2

[dramatispersonae]

Odile’s voice echoes from above: “At long last, you may step in to save your teammates from untimely, if deserved doom.”

Four more gems per person appear on the table.

This time, you may give the gems to anyone you desire, though you still may not use them for your own selfish ends.

[OOC note: you may still not use more than one gem per hero/two gems per knight. This includes ones you voted for last round.]

The portraits update with the current standings.

[THEY ARE SO LOW D8]

. . .Euphemia-san and Haruki-san. . .

Re: Round 2

[artificialcommand]

It's fine. Should each give a point to Euphy, though.

Re: Round 2

[featherfetch]

I'll put one on you, Euphemia-san and Teito-san. . . but you'll all still be really hurt. . .

Re: Round 2

[euphanasia]

...

Re: Round 2

[featherfetch]

I want to protect you.

Re: Round 2

[euphanasia]

... Thank you.

Re: Round 2

[featherfetch]

Then. . . you'll allow me to?

Re: Round 2

[euphanasia]

... If it's not taking from yourself, I won't stop you, Pascal.

Re: Round 2

[featherfetch]

I am at three. I won't drop below that.

Re: Round 2

[euphanasia]

... I would like you higher.

Re: Round 2

[featherfetch]

I would like you to be much higher.

Re: Round 2

[euphanasia]

Hmm...

Re: Round 2

[featherfetch]

[this Persona drives a hard bargain]

Re: Round 2

[artificialcommand]

I'll be fine, I said. You don't have to worry about me.

Re: Round 2

[featherfetch]

You're at two, of course I will worry.

Re: Round 2

[artificialcommand]

I'm new, it's to be expected.

Re: Round 2

[featherfetch]

That does not make it okay.

Re: Round 2

[artificialcommand]

But it's on the chart for everyone to see. Kazuki and Yuki will make sure I receive at least two more points, as I would do for them. That's a potential of four more, which is more than enough. If that's not the case, I'm prepared for it. But you should not worry unnecessarily. If we all survive, that's the best option.

Re: Round 2

[featherfetch]

They likely cannot, since they would have voted for you the first time.

Re: Round 2

[artificialcommand]

And they both have teammates they are perfectly capable of coercing. If one of them had been under three points, and I had asked one of you to put a point down for them, would you have? It's the same principle.

Re: Round 2

[featherfetch]

"Coerce". . .

I want to play my extra point on Cassie-san, but I can't because I played on her last round. Could you do it, and I will vote for one of your choices?

Re: Round 2

[artificialcommand]

I could use a different word, but it would mean the same thing.

...I will. If you could, I'd like one for Yuki on Sapphire.

Re: Round 2

[featherfetch]

[nods]

Yes, of course.
