[ 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.

Oh. We get to protect or help Tiger's Eye and Amethyst, right? But we can only pick the order of the card we're playing.

I think we just got information about them. I know Kitsunebi and Night already, that's their teams. Sieh is probably one of the ones I haven't met.

This stuff might help us figure out who might go for what, since they're stuff about what people think. We could help them, or we could help other teams...

I know them, too. But I don't think this really gives us anything to work with outside learning stuff about them. I doubt that the teams attacking would get the same cards or judge other teams based on them. It wouldn't be fair.

Yeah. And this stuff isn't really all that bad as far as I can tell.

They've done this kind of thing before though. I think it's...maybe to provoke people? But it didn't seem to work before.

[trying to consider this game more carefully] But I'm not sure if the information matters at all. I mean, we have to "reflect," "nullify," or "weaken" other teams' cards. It's not limited to the teams we picked before if I'm understanding this right.

So we basically have more power than the other roles. We have to figure which teams are attacking and which teams were more likely to decide to be martyrs, and try to help three of them with our cards.

[Nods.] We could be. Nullify and weaken aren't too dangerous if we mess up. But we have to be careful of reflect. We don't want it with a major injury.

When do you think it's more likely a team would place their minor injuries? During the first round?

It depends on the team. Generally people would want the worst last or get it out of the way quick. Other teams may just start out weak and build up.

What we need is a team that would be the most predictable for whatever cards they might use. Someone we can say for sure they'd want it out of the way as fast as possible or wait.

It may be safest to have reflect in the middle. It's not so likely someone will have a major there unless they wanted to trip others up.

I also agree to have reflect in the middle. Uh. Which teams would be more likely to hurt themselves or decide to attack?

Who are likely....

Jasper, Carnelian, and maybe Peridot are attackers, depending whose playing. Peridot might still be advisers, harder to tell.

Not sure on Iolite. They're nice people, but there might be enough of a fight instinct there to choose that, though I don't think they'd be martyrs. So maybe advisers.

Amethyst, Coral, Ruby are probably martyrs. Kitsunebi might go for martyr and Mitchell too, though Naoto seems more adviser. Tiger's Eye could be either one. The same for Sapphire. Emerald too.

Knights are definitely martyrs.

I don't know enough to make a good guess for the rest.

I think Citrine might decide to be adviser or attacker, I don't think Riku would let his team get hurt. Turquoise might be advisers, but I can't say for sure.

Emerald . . . I'm not sure what would Roxas choose. Maybe martyr or adviser? He doesn't seem like the type of person that would pick to hurt others.

I only really know Tsunami from Turquoise.

The same for Battler.

...we find a team for a middle reflect.

I think...Jasper or Carnelian is likely to start out strong. Jasper a bit more than Carnelian.

And Roxas and Battle seem...kind of straight forward, so it might Emerald finishes strong. If they're martyrs, we could weaken the card so damage isn't so bad?

So, nullify Carnelian's card, reflect Jasper's and weaken Emerald's? In that order?

Jasper might play to win. Which is getting cards to hit, so they might go for the middle slot to throw people off.

But for the nullify and weaken, those should work.

Right. Then we can try to switch Carnelian and Jasper, but keep the cards as they are?

We might want a more likely to martyr or adviser team for reflect. They might still be straight forward enough. And at worst, better to mess them up than hit an attack.

...Coral might be good for that.
