Coral

[dramatispersonae]

[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.]

....We could... Help knights not be hurt in case but... The cost is kind of high.

[fierte]

[am I still holding your hand let's say yes; tugging on it]

Twist is up there!! I don't want anything to happen to her ...

[digitalemperor]

I don't want anything to happen to any of them. [I have a lot of friends up there. Squeezing her hand.]

But if we bet on them... And we're wrong, we'll be hurt. She didn't say whether it'd be all or one of us but she's about balance so probably all.

[fierte]

[chewing on her lip for a moment]

In that case ... should we, we have -- those weights that they gave us ...

[digitalemperor]

We don't know exactly what we'll add or subtract if we do that.

I don't... Know anyone enough to guess what their weights are, even if many of them are my friends.

[bootleg]

[nods]

It's a risk. But--sharing the punishment might mean no one has to die. And we might not be punished at all, if they balance one another.

[digitalemperor]

I'll only accept it if everyone is okay with it. But if they are, then I'm willing to take the risk.

But no one on Coral should be forced to risk getting hurt if they don't want to be, either, just because some of us want to protect others.

[bootleg]

[nods]

I agree with you. And I'll accept it if everyone else does.

[digitalemperor]

[Smiling a little.]

Thanks Dove-san. We'll see what everyone wants and I guess... Decide after that...

[blackjacked]

[nudges]

Are you okay with the risk?

[bootleg]

[nods, smiling, but worried]

I am, as long as everyone else is. I don't want anyone to be hurt if they're not prepared, and I don't think the knights would either.

[heavens_mirror]

I'm willing to take that risk, but only if the rest of us are too.

[kind of calm about this]

[digitalemperor]

[Nods.] I agree. It has to be unanimous. [And then we have to figure out who to protect. I have too many friends up there.]

[heavens_mirror]

[I have some friends up there too but what if I want to help everyone regardless:'(]

If we can find out who needs the most help... though I'm not sure how we should choose who to bet on.

[pitching]

[I don't like this gaaaaaaaame]

[IT'S VERY FAMILIAR TO ANOTHER ONE I KNOW]

[digitalemperor]

[Hey come here you.]

[pitching]

[y should I]

[bootleg]

[well now you are getting another hug]

[blackjacked]

[SUDDENLY HERE!!]

. . . I don't think there's any doubt we should help 'em. We only take damage if we gamble, right?

[digitalemperor]

I meant the cost of gambling. Of course we'll offer weights.

[blackjacked]

[shrugs]

How much do we care about winning at the expense of being hurt?

THIRD ROUND DISCUSSION!1

[blackjacked]

. . . we weren't really using our 2-point weight anyway, were we?

[digitalemperor]

I don't think we used weights at all last round.

[blackjacked]

Didn't look like anyone was hurt last round, anyway. So I guess we didn't have to.

[digitalemperor]

Canary-chan checked but no one needed them. Maybe that's why she took one away.
