CITRINE

[The room is circular and surrounded by a series of ionic columns, the floor and ceiling stretching overhead fashioned out of cracked, white stone. The area beyond the columns is pitch black, and the room itself is lit only by dimly flickering candles. The candles rest on top of a stone table, which sits in the middle of the room.

And next to the candles rest four numbered boxes]

Percy still won't take one.

I'll heal him once we're out of the game if he's being difficult. We'll keep the one just to say we had the won. Hand the two others off to jerk teams that might've been messed with.

Heal him and then we'll throw him in the lake. Who're the jerk teams?

More like I'll go in the lake and you'll help anyone who got beat up and can't fix themselves up.

Right. Okay.

You probably know who the jerk teams are better than me.

Nah, I only know who I don't like.

Iolite, Carnelian, and -- I dunno, Sterling and Onyx aren't jerks, but they've probably been passing all their stuff on.
