[The awning shades you from the sun, but it doesn't protect you from the eyes and ears of other teams. Under your awning you find a small table on which there are three weights of different sizes. Discuss what you will with your teams here.]

[oh so this is how it is]

...Ah.

[soundandfury]

That's a lot of groups to look after.

[fraternalorders]

...Yes. At least we have a chance to help them.

[existentiallychallenged]

We can't really help everyone though, can we...?

[itsalluseless]

We'll just have to do our best.

[soundandfury]

[looks at all the groups]

...If she needs it, Serah. Who else?

[fraternalorders]

Sasuke, if necessary.

[soundandfury]

[nods]

Our bad luck, in something like this...

[fraternalorders]

We have three weights and the opportunity to wager. We have a number of options to work with. We don't have to choose one or the other.

[soundandfury]

[huff huff but serah]

...She says she isn't sure what weighs more, action or intent.

[fraternalorders]

My own inclination is to guess action. Actions are what create consequences.

[soundandfury]

Right...

[shifts]

And your brother?

[fraternalorders]

...His ingot will be considerably weighted.

[soundandfury]

Mm...

[existentiallychallenged]

...I dunno. She has my vote too.

[soundandfury]

[...nods. Good. Nice teammate]

Thanks.

[existentiallychallenged]

I don't know anything about who she's up against though.

[soundandfury]

[shakes her head]

Me neither. Must be new.

[existentiallychallenged]

...If she's new, she probably doesn't weigh much.

[itsalluseless]

Yeah, she's new. The one Firebird ran the other day was her first game.

[existentiallychallenged]

So we'd place weights on her side, right?

[itsalluseless]

That'd make the most sense.

[fraternalorders]

I met her briefly. She's from Shade's world. She's caught up in the issues with Shade's family somehow, though I don't know the details.

[existentiallychallenged]

You think it's a bad thing? Or a good thing?

[fraternalorders]

That's right. Having the option is better than not having it all. We just need to figure out how to best utilize it.
