SAPPHIRE

[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]

. . . You won't do anything too risky, will you?

Re: Discussion

[performing]

Ah, well ... not too risky.

Re: Discussion

[greenthummons]

O-Okay. I know we have to risk some, but . . . [makes a fluttery hand gesture] Only what we need to?

Re: Discussion

[performing]

Yeah ... [reaching to squeeze her shoulder briefly]

Apple has her bag, so if worst comes to it ... even if it loses us points, we might be able to save any "hope" we get.

Re: Discussion

[greenthummons]

I have Yuki-kun's medkit too. It's only some emergency first aid things, but there are bandages we can use if we have to.

Re: Discussion

[performing]

Some is better than none! We'll be all right, I think.

Re: Discussion

[greenthummons]

I hope everyone else will be too.

Re: Discussion

We could ask if she'll let us send supplies instead of poison ...

Re: Discussion

[greenthummons]

Do you think she might? —I-If the rest of Sapphire is okay with it . . .

Re: Discussion

[performing]

[nods] I think it's worth us at least trying.

Re: Discussion

[greenthummons]

Then . . . I'd like to try.

Re: Discussion

[performing]

[nods!] We'll be fine.

Re: Discussion

[greenthummons]

Okay!

Um—M-Miss Pandora?

Re: Discussion

[dramatispersonae]

[the candles flicker slightly]

Yes?

Re: Discussion

[greenthummons]

If we wanted to send supplies instead of poison to a team, could we do that? We brought some first aid materials . . .

Re: Discussion

[dramatispersonae]

Mmm. . . a noble question. But first aid materials are not a part of this game.

Re: Discussion

[greenthummons]

Oh . . .

Re: Discussion

[performing]

Ah ... it was worth a shot asking, though.

Maybe we could wrap stuff we send in everything ... ?

Re: Discussion

[greenthummons]

We can try!

Re: Discussion

[performing]

Even if she kicks it back, we can at least make the effort!
