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).

... Let's just hope this is all hypothetical attacks, then.

I'm not going to hold my breath.

... I don't really want to attack Citrine, Coral, or Sapphire, though. One of the kids on Citrine remembers me and one of the people from the others teams being together.

... We all have people on different teams we like ...

If we spread the damage out it won't be as bad as if we just chose one, right?

Is there at least one team we don't care about? What about that red or yellow one?

I don't really know either that well, but Aleph might...

-- Oh yeah, forgot about the duck.

Duck?

One of the members of the red team is a duck. Aleph was building a pond for it for a mission.

I-I see...

Dunno how a duck is supposed to save the world, though.

Maybe... it's an intelligent duck?

No idea. Aleph knows more about it than I do.

All right.

Can we... can we defend Emerald?

... You want to make it up to them in the middle of a game?

That's Aleph's business, it's just ...

They were nice to me. That's all.

And they'll attack us anyway.

I have a close friend on Tiger's Eye. And on Citrine.

... So that's a no for the yellow. What about Ruby?

... Was the duck playing?

Dunno. I didn't see it myself.

Well, I didn't see her, so it's probably safe to say she isn't.

[shrugs]

Then we could do it that way.

I want to put points on Emerald, just to counter some of what we'll get. And Ruby's an easy other choice.

-- Huh. Brace wants to defend Emerald, instead.

We'll lose.
