HELIODOR

[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.

What do you mean a bad game? What does she mean protection? Protection from what?

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[oceansflower]

Protection from getting hurt or killed!

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[doubledefense]

What? But why!?

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[oceansflower]

I think it's supposed to give them more power.

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[doubledefense]

They're getting power by hurting people!? That's awful! Th-they can't do that!!

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[oceansflower]

But they are doing it. I want to show them that they can't do this kind of thing to us, but...

We should do what we can to protect as many people as possible while we're in here.

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[doubledefense]

But we don't have enough points to protect everyone! People are still going to get hurt! This isn't fair!!

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[oceansflower]

Then we'll just have to protect as many people as possible! It's never fair when we have to do this kind of thing.

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[doubledefense]

Absolutely everyone deserves to be protected.

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[oceansflower]

I know.

[kicks a chair that's nearby really hard]

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[doubledefense]

So! So! We have to do something about this!!

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[oceansflower]

We should do what we can now and handle it outside of the game! We're not going to help anyone if we get stuck in this room.

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[doubledefense]

Stuck?

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[oceansflower]

We might not be able to leave the room until we do something!

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[doubledefense]

W-would that mean that she can't hurt the other teams?

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[oceansflower]

She'll probably hurt them no matter what.

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[doubledefense]

But! There has to be a way! [ ttttearing up ]

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[oceansflower]

We'll find it, okay? We should protect as many as we can until then, though.

[o-oh tears. :(

HUGS. SUPER HUGS.]

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[doubledefense]

[ oh shit. crying. ]

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[oceansflower]

[hugging!!!! let it out. :(]

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[doubledefense]

I have to! I have to figure out who isn't protected!!

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[oceansflower]

We'll figure it out, okay? I can help!

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[doubledefense]

I've. I've protected some knights, and someone Tsuruume said would be unprotected!!

Re: Round 1 - Discussion

[oceansflower]

[nodnod]

Okay-- we've protected a lot of people, you know. Not everyone... but we did help a lot as much as we could.
