HELIODOR

[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]

Three.

[Inside the box is a small vial filled with a thick, red liquid. Upon picking it up, you instinctively know that it is a vial of blood]

One of you must suffer a life-threatening injury. Accept this, or pass it to another team.

Are we going to have a repeat of last round?

I'd like to see them argue that we should keep this, but it'd be really pointless.

I doubt either of us would allow it.

You've got that right.

Carnelian again, Emerald, or Onyx? I'm leaning toward Carnelian, but we're just gonna have the same stupid argument again with the same result.

...Do you have no desire to win at all?

We don't know the conditions of winning.

[ Doesn't respond for a long moment, glancing at Sion. ]

...Emerald.

[wait]

Oh, right, the rules say being a dick wins us points, so let's keep being a dick.

We don't have any hope, so we wouldn't have points anyway, would we?

Emerald.

Sounds good to me. Any objections?

[And we're back to the terrible.]

If it's a life threatening injury, we should try a team with someone who can deal with that happening.

Yeah, because people are really handling injuries well if you can't even heal people. That's not an option and we're not making that kind of judgment call.

Magic is different from physical stuff. Magic is an easy out.

Okay, I'll say it plainer. The only person who comes to mind is a god and I'm not gonna fuck her over because she's my friend.

I work at the clinic.

They seem like a team that can take it. But do you have any objections?

Someone that knows me is on Emerald.

Roxas, right? I know him too.

And Battler.
