dramatispersonae | 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).

What...?

We can protect each other, but we still need to play this game.

Then... I like Sky's idea. Trying to defend the same people we attack.

But then someone's not defended. I don't.

But then three teams aren't defended. We already... we already discovered that we all have... people we like on every team.

We can't defend everyone. But I'm not leaving my friend alone and I'm not attacking him, either.

You're not-- You're not the only person here with friends!

And if my messing things up with Emerald got you guys hurt, I couldn't face that and not helping my friend.

But you don't know that it did. In the end, we also decided to pick teams we didn't know much about over anything else, didn't we? So... others could be the same...

Others don't have a reason. They do.

They might not ... act on it, necessarily.

Stop being so damn sure of yourself, it'll get you and others killed.

Who do you think is the most popular team?

... Sapphire or Emerald.

What we should do it attack one of those two and not defend them. If they're popular, we can hope that other people are going to defend them.

Then we should attack two other teams and defend them at the same time, minimizing the damage between them as much as we can.

But that doesn't defend other team's points. I don't like it.

We can only do what we can with the points we got. Playing favorites isn't going to help anybody.

I'm not attacking my friend.

I already had to attack mine. Suck it up and deal.

No.

For fuck's sake ...

Fine, we'll attack both Sapphire and Emerald and one more. We'll defend Tiger's eye with three points and Emerald with two.

Decide who else we want to attack.

Ruby.

[goes to input the decision]

You might want to remember we're on a damn team next time you want to act on your own goals. You can apologize to both of my friends after this.

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh everybody is arguing and nothing is okay.]

[I am just going to sit over here and. quietly wait for everything to be over.]

[... well, shit]

You shouldn't sit so close to the wall.
