TURQUOISE

[ Once everyone is through the door it swings shut behind you. You find yourself in a narrow room, about two people across and eight people deep. On the back of the door is a stylized sun with six rays of light spiraling out of the center. In the center of the sun is a pair of lips and they begin speaking: ]

Each team is in a room like this. You will choose which teams to attack and which teams to defend. Tell me when you have reached your decision.

Your options are as follows: Ruby, Coral, Citrine, Tiger's Eye, Emerald and Sapphire.

You have fifteen "points" to attack with. You may use these in bundles of five or more.

You have five "points" to defend with. You may use these in either two and three or all five at once.

You may not defend or attack yourself. And you may not decline to play.

(ooc: CHOOSE WHICH TEAM(S) TO ATTACK AND WHICH TEAM(S) TO DEFEND.

You can attack in any combination of points that adds up to 15 as long as the smallest amount you use is 5. (So, for instance you can attack Team A for 15 points. Or attack Team A for 8 and Team B for 7. Or attack Team D for all 15)

You can defend in either all 5 points to one team, or 2 points to one team and 3 to another. (Defend Team Z for 5 or defend Team Y for 2 and Team F for 3).

[Listening to the instructions carefully, then finally:]

... Isn't this just a popularity contest?

If it is, then Emerald's gonna gun for us.

Bundles of five, fifteen total . . . [thinking]

I don't have any attachments to Coral, and I think it'd be a bad move to go after Emerald. But ... at the same time, it might be what we need to so we can stand a chance.

Attack points:

Five on Coral
Ten on Ruby

Defense points:

Three on Tiger's Eye
Two on Citrine

[ After you input your choices there is a long pause, and then the door frowns. ]

Fifteen were played to attack you. Five points were played to defend you. You take a total of ten damage.

[ The walls of the room start to shake. Ten holes appear on the wall. Some at ankle height, others at chest height, some aimed at your stomach. And then ten long pointed skewers emerge and stab you.

Light damage. ]

[ there's a slight whirr, and after you receive your results: ]

Each team is in a room like this. You will choose which teams to attack and which teams to defend. Tell me when you have reached your decision.

Your options are as follows: Coral, Citrine, Tiger's Eye, Emerald, Ruby and Sapphire.

You have fifteen "points" to attack with. You may use these in bundles of five or more.

You may not defend or attack yourself. And you may not decline to play.

Attack:
5 = Emerald
5 = Sapphire
5 = Ruby

Defend:
3 = Tiger's Eye
2 = Emerald

[ this time the door smiles, and does . . . does it lick its lips? ]

Seven points were played to attack you and three were played to defend you.

[ Four skewers! . . . possibly nicking someone, but not very much damage. ]

[That... That was kind of anti-climatic...]

[THE MOST RELIEVED SIGH]

Fweh!

[... prefers being wrong]
