Coral + Tiger's Eye

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.

We'll try not to kill you, but no promises.

Ah, I should hope there would be promises to that effect.

[ shrugs ] You have a very skinny neck.

I have a very skinny everything . . .

You really do . . .

So.

Looks like I'm punching and strangling you.

Let's get this over with, then.

...We should be able to do all that without killing him, Shadow...

Your necks are so fragile.

I'm sure you can be careful. Nothing says how much strangling needs to happen.

Enough for it to count, I would think.

So cut off his airflow for a little bit. That's all.

Fine.

[. . . urk]

I-- I can do it without killing him.

[ eyeroll ] I didn't say I couldn't. There's always a margin or error.

[scrubbing at face]

Hopefully not one that big.

[ s-sighs ] No, not for me.

. . . I'm not the kinda guy who shoves burdens like this off on one person, so if you want help-- [shutting his mouth with a click after this]

Someone else has to tackle him to the ground, unless I get bigger.

I've got it.

The rest. . . if you're up for it, I'll leave it to you.

I can do it.

. . . all right.
