[Coral + Sapphire]

[ As the game starts, the kitchen vanishes under your feet. You find yourself in a small room with no furnishings besides a simple chest with drawers and a low table surrounded by pillows in the colors of the two teams. Kiriko's voice comes from inside your head, as usual, though she's not in the room with you. There is no food on the table, but there is plenty of sake, as well as cups, dishes, and bowls. There are also ten gold pieces. ]

Hello. Today, I have five tasks for you. You may complete them quickly, or you may complete them slowly. But while you decide, please make yourselves at home.

❀ Task One

[dramatispersonae]

There are a family of cranes who have come seeking shelter. They are poor and can only pay with the feathers plucked from their flesh. The cost to give them a room is one gold piece, which they will pay with the feathers of one wing. Should you be the ones to serve them, you will receive the equivalent in gold of what they pay. If not you, another shall. Will you serve them? What will you take from them?

We think smiles and laughter are worth at least one hundred pieces of gold. We'll serve the family of cranes if they tell us a few jokes to make us laugh.

❀ Task Two

[dramatispersonae]

Mice have gotten into the stores of rice. What should we do?

. . . chase the mice away and buy new rice seems like the reasonable answer.

[blackjacked]

If the mice are stealing rice from our supplies, then they've gotta be hungry. We'll invite them to a proper dinner, which we'll pay for ourselves, to prevent them from having to steal.

❀ Task Three

[dramatispersonae]

You may purchase points for yourself or other teams at the cost of one gold coin each. Will you do this? How much will you spend?

[oh that was a much better result]

Well? What d'you guys think?

❀ Decision

Re: ❀ Decision

[blackjacked]

We'll spend five coins and buy five points for Sterling and Onyx.

❀ Task Four

[dramatispersonae]

[ Three additional gold coins clatter down onto the table. ] You may have three more should you give these away. Which teams will you give them to? Why?

❀ Discussion

Re: ❀ Discussion

[blackjacked]

Ha. . . giving them away is the most efficient solution. We gave points to the knights, do we wanna give them coins, too?

❀ Decision

[dramatispersonae]

Re: ❀ Decision

[blackjacked]

We'll give all three coins to Sterling and Onyx.

❀ Task Five

[dramatispersonae]

What will you give me?
