Coral + Tiger's Eye

[dramatispersonae]

Through the doors, you find yourselves in a small circular room that seems to be decorated much in the same way as the ring is decorated today. The curtains are in alternating colors of your teams, and in the center stand are three surprisingly lifelike, but faceless sculptures. They stand with their backs to one another, facing out to the chairs. About each of their necks is a cord that holds a sign written in a fine, looping cursive.

Any crimes I've committed are ten times worse than anything Dragonfly has ever done.

Today is not the day for your punishment, my sweet.

[Dragonfly? Shit.]

Mother-san... Is there no bargain we can make...?

Re: Round Three - Discussion

[dramatispersonae]

Mother is quite afraid that the time for bargaining is long passed.

And if you exchanged Kit and I for him? Wouldn't it be better to punish two over one?

This is not a matter of number, child. You have had your time.

Bring him back. He doesn't deserve whatever punishment you have laid out for him.

Mother did give her children the opportunity to determine suitable punishment, but seeing it squandered so, there seems to be only one chance for recourse.

[his voice is soooo strained]

By punishing someone whose worst crime is bullying people?

Re: Round Three - Discussion

Patience, patience child. Your time will come.

You say that like I'm eager to throw myself at your feet for whatever version of justice you have planned.

Re: Round Three - Discussion

Was that not your intention? My, Mother does have such difficulty understanding what it is that you mean when you refuse to speak plainly.

Re: Round Three - Discussion

[blackjacked]

No. That was my intention. A thief for a fashion designer.

But nowhere did I call myself eager.
