[ Your team is left alone - strange, how it didn't seem like you went anywhere, just everyone else disappeared.

A woman's voice - can be heard now ]

Ah . . . what I would give . . . no, what you will give? Your choices will determine that, so let us play a simple card game. But first, choose your stance.

[ THREE CARDS APPEAR - on one side is an apple, on the other is text. ]

The first reads: "Reflect"
Haruki wants to destroy the world and everything in it (mostly Shark, Shark should really die)

The second reads: "Nullify"
Lucky wants to to kill the man who turned her into a fish, for even just the sliver of the hurt and trauma she knows was caused by that.

The third reads: "Weaken"
Jake wants to to. Have a really hot orgy with blue aliens.

You will play all three cards simultaneously, but choose which order you want them to be used. Reflect turns a card back on whoever played it, nullify cancels a card's action and weaken will bring a card's action down a rank.

The other cards that teams may be playing are attack cards - a minor, medium or major injury to another team or martyr cards - a minor, medium or major injury to their own team. As adviser you can try and guess who might play what in which round and do the most 'good'.

[well I got exactly what I wanted by asking after Amethyst]

...We got... an even bigger strategy role than normal, huh...

[looking at those cards... ugh, if there's information like this about us too, this could be a pain...]

I suppose... I guess we can start by guessing which teams might be attackers.

Do you know any of those teams well--? I don't, really...

I think we can choose to play our cards on any of the teams... I'm sure Jasper chose to be an attacker. [thinks...] Probably Carnelian, too. If I had to guess, Coral is an advisor, like us... And I don't know the rest of the teams so well.

We can weaken and nullify those two, then. Who do you think is likely to play the highest damage from the start? And... I'm not sure what to do with the reflect card, to prevent damage...

[AND NOW I AM HERE. hold on give him a second to get caught up on these instructions.]

[sighs] I have no idea what order they'd play it in, but I think there's a decent chance Jasper will be playing its high damage card on us... Well, depending on what Saya has to say about it, I guess.

--Hey, Shes. We were thinking of weakening and nullifying Carnelian and Jasper, since we thought they might be attackers... Any insight?

Though... in that case, maybe we should "nullify" Jasper's first turn...

Shit, I'm beginning to think the Personae don't like me. Carnelian will probably attack if given the chance, yeah. Iolite might too.

... I could see it... What are we going to do with "reflect"?

...Can either of you think of what reflect might do on a martyr or adviser card, or should we just ask...? I can't figure out if it would just do nothing, or increase damage or nullify it...

If the Persona's in a talking mood, I say we ask. I'd rather know these things ahead of time.

It certainly can't hurt to ask.

Hey! What happens if a reflect card is played on an adviser or a martyr?

Nothing to an adviser, but it will double a martyr's burden, of course.

Ooookay, so let's steer away from martyrs...

Though what teams would pick that, anyway.

Well, Carnelian's sure as hell not going to be a martyr. But I'd be awkward to explain if we got them killed through their own attack.

We don't want to reflect an attacker or martyr if we can help it, yeah. So who's likely to pick "adviser"...

I guessed Coral before, but it's a risk I'd rather avoid. ... A team that's not too focused on winning, but not pointlessly self-sacrificing. Any ideas?

... Turquoise? Sapphire? Uh...

[r1: weaken Carnelian's card
r2: nullify Jasper's card
r3: reflect Heliodor's card]
