HELIODOR

[dramatispersonae]

[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]

One.

[Inside the box is. . . nothing? But Pandora speaks almost immediately after it is opened]

You must choose to sacrifice one thing that is important to you, or one thing that is important to another team. Choose wisely-- I will not accept trivial offers.

Re: Decision

[restorefromsave]

Important how?

Re: Decision

[wouldntkilladragon]

Something not trivial. Something you'd hate to lose. It could be anything. Memories, feelings, items...

Re: Decision

[restorefromsave]

....We can counter it.

Re: Decision

[wouldntkilladragon]

It would be best. We've sent off everything else...

[And this is probably already hurting Sora a lot.]

Re: Decision

[alternating]

No.

Re: Decision

[restorefromsave]

Because we can regain what is lost?

Re: Decision

[dramatispersonae]

Memories, emotions, and senses are all acceptable. Perhaps a highly valued item would be, too.

Re: Decision

[nexrophilia]

Would we... be able to get them back, eventually?

Re: Decision

[dramatispersonae]

You would.

Re: Decision

[ironicusername]

Then what's the point? So you could sit back and cackle about how your totally clever and subtle game made us give up some shit just so we could work to get it back later? Wow, that is wicked nefarious.

Re: Decision

[nexrophilia]

...After the game, or by quest?

Re: Decision

[wouldntkilladragon]

What are you thinking?

Re: Decision

[nexrophilia]

Giving up feelings wouldn't be so terrible.

Re: Decision

[restorefromsave]

Are you so eager?

Re: Decision

[nexrophilia]

[ ...

Glances away. ]

Re: Decision

[uneulogized]

Hey, you still seem sane. What's your vote in all this?

Re: Decision

[wouldntkilladragon]

...we do have hope. We could just counter it.

[But Onyx...]

Re: Decision

[alternating]

. . . I want to help Onyx. I don't mind giving up memories or senses if that saves somebody's life.

Re: Decision

[wouldntkilladragon]

They don't make it easy to get those things back. I'm not even sure how well we could get something like this back.

Re: Decision

[alternating]

The Persona said we can get it back.

Re: Decision

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Why yes she did.]

...

[Well, now he is thinking about it, but Serin...]

Re: Decision

[uneulogized]

No, we're gonna go for the ultimate dick move: keep hope and give this to someone else.

Re: Decision

[nexrophilia]

[ Just... staring. ]

Important to us...
