AMETHYST

[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]

[Pandora’s voice is solemn, yet firm. You can’t quite tell where it’s coming from, though it fills the entire room. . .]

The chilled steel of a knife, the bitter taste of poison. . . perhaps both are made colder and sharper when they come from the hand of someone you trusted.

Which will you choose?

[There are four boxes waiting for you on the table, heroes and knights. Pick one]

...I suppose we had better get it over with. What about the first one, then?

There's no sense in waiting. There's no indication what they have inside.

No -- so let's try box number one. But say... Haruki... we're not going to play to win, are we?

We're going to play to stay safe.

Well, this seems like it'll be fun.

[Sarcasm, thy name is Lucky.]

Doesn't it just?

Shall we try the first box and see what we get?

Seems like opening them in order is as likely to work well as not. [shrug] First box works for me.

All right...

I don't think we ought to try to win.

Your input is appreciated.

I don't like games like this. [lineface. Yeah, Lucky's pissy about it.]

None of us do. But for the moment, please don't let it get to you.

[ sigh ]

Oh honestly.

But we can't just give other people poison and things. I don't care about the points.

At the very least we must prioritize our own safety. Others will likely be playing with the same goal in mind.

Well, we got hope, so let's hang onto it.

[AND THEN SUDDENLY THERE WAS A JAKE

he lands in the room with you ass first]

What in tarnation...! Who's the wise guy??

[ Sounding a bit disappointed. ]

Ah, you made it.

[getting up and brushing his ass off =T]

Ah. So... a game? Shoot, I would've come if they'd just asked!

A foreboding game, unfortunately. It likely would have been better had you not made it.

[opening box #1]

. . . and yet sometimes, the bonds of trust are woven too thickly to be challenged.

[Inside the box is a small vial filled with clear liquid. Upon picking it up, you know instinctively that you have stumbled across something special-- hope]

You may keep it, or pass it to another team.

I would say that's something we should hold on to for now. Objections?
