Heliodor + Turquoise

[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.

[whatever]

I can do it myself if I have to.

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[redblossoms]

You're obviously not going to.

I'll probably cut your hair as well. It would be better to do that first, if I'm to use the same knife.

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[fraternaldevotion]

You're not touching my hair.

Just do what she asked for.

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[redblossoms]

I'd rather cover all my bases.

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[fraternaldevotion]

I don't care. She obviously changed the rules and doesn't care about the punishments you had before.

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[redblossoms]

And when has she ever said everything starting from when it's convenient to us?

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[fraternaldevotion]

Again, I don't care.

Those are my terms.

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[redblossoms]

...

I don't think she'd care about your terms.

Can you stop me?

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[fraternaldevotion]

Do you want my brother to kill you because you cut my hair?

Go ahead and try.

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[redblossoms]

I'm far more open to risking myself than my teammates, yes.

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[fraternaldevotion]

Then you're worthless as a teammate.

[he's going to evade and put as much distance as he can from her]

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[lifeistooshort]

[aaah no teammates!]

What-- no! Tsuruume!

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[redblossoms]

--What now?!

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[lifeistooshort]

Don't risk yourself like that! Just-- just do what the hag asked for and no more. He's already losing a hand, you don't need to go any further than that!

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[redblossoms]

I stand by my punishment. Besides, what kind of person would kill someone over hair but not a hand?

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[lifeistooshort]

You always protect Heliodor by doing your best to keep us out of harm's way, but we don't want to see you put yourself in harm's way, either! Your integrity isn't forfeit in our eyes because we know you stand by your punishment.

I don't. . . I don't want anyone to die, in the game or outside of it.

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[redblossoms]

... I can protect myself just fine. I'm not scared of them.

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[lifeistooshort]

I know. I know. But these games are bad enough. We shouldn't endanger ourselves outside of them, too.

Re: Round Two - Discussion

[redblossoms]

... If this brother weren't insane...
