[Ruby + Peridot]

[ 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?

They have to pay somehow. They can do it through the feathers or another way, that's their choice. Though if they were smart, they'd offer to simply work it off normally.

❀ Task Two

[dramatispersonae]

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

... Mouse traps...? Is this a trick question.

We offer the mice something else to eat if they leave, if not, then getting a cat will take care of those foolish enough to refuse our offer.

❀ 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?

Five to Peridot and Five to Ruby.

❀ 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?

... Like I said, I don't even know anyone on the other teams...

Re: ❀ Decision

[squirreledaway]

Giving one to Sterling, because... I think I owe Lloyd and Mithos something, and this is the closest thing they're gonna get to a thank you. [Jerks.]

One to Turquoise. I guess I acted kind of irrationally. [but she stabbed first!! just. saying.]

And one to Carnelian, consider it a tip for the fights I've had with Ling.

❀ Task Five

[dramatispersonae]

What will you give me?
