Ruby + Sapphire

[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.

There's a good chance that after this round, we're going to have to enact those punishments on real people. It might even be Ruby or Sapphire who's involved. In that case, the punishment needs to be something that won't hurt people but would still involve action, right? I can make a game end pretty fast if it's cards.

...If you're certain.

I don't want anyone to get hurt, Selenia. Given what might happen next, I want to keep what we can do under control as much as possible.

What else could we do?

Re: Discussion

[glorious]

Have a second plan. Just in case.

...I could dispense physical punishment, if that became a necessity.

Re: Discussion

... what sort of physical punishment?

Re: Discussion

[glorious]

[very quiet for a long moment]

...A slap on the wrist. That would be the extent of what I'd be comfortable with.

That and playing cards, betting for chores. That way we cover all bases.

[...relaxing.]

We're an unforgiving team.

Re: Discussion

It's because we had to teach Sapphire not to beg for table scraps.

Re: Discussion

All of our patience has been exhausted.

It's hard saying no to a puppy. We've done our best.

Re: Discussion

Indeed.

...There is one thing I wanted to ask you about.

Re: Discussion

[blinks] --Eh?

Re: Discussion

[VERY QUIETLY:]

What is the walk of shame supposed to be? I have an idea but I rather...clarify.

It's. Well, it's a thing that Master should have done maybe a thousand times over but never had to ...

[...that makes it a bit easier to figure out, yes...]

I assume he cleaned himself up well then?

Unfortunately well.
