Turquoise

[You find yourselves surrounded by mud walls and a ceiling, the grass of the clearing still dense under your feet. The room is well-lit by the usual lights that litter Aather during the night. There is a small pool of water in one corner and a piece of paper stuck to one of the walls]

The rules of this game are very simple. You will be offered a task, either to perform yourself or to force another team to perform. You may choose to accept the task or to retire from the game. The teams who accept the most tasks will receive memories as well as the knowledge that they have given more power to revive our world

Be warned that retiring from the game means that you will be more likely to be forced to perform a task by another team than if you had not chosen to quit.

And do try to decide quickly. There will be consequences for lingering.

*. . . 8|*

Ah.

Retiring isn't really getting away from the game, then.

Joy.

Do people really give a care about the latter reward. . .

What kind of tasks . . .

[Sea snakes emerge from the pool long enough to deposit what looks like an elastic band on the ground before disappearing back into the water. As they do so, the Sea Witch's voice emanates from the pool and echoes around the room] Your task is for one of you to flick this against yourself ten times. When you are done, I will give you your next task. If you want to leave the game now, the decision must be unanimous. If you all agree then place your hands into the pool and speak your decision together.

((please ping me on IRC in your team chan when you've made a decision either way. There's no need to have finished playing out the task thread as long as you've started it, and that goes for every round))

[really. Really?]

Who wants to do it?

. . .seriously?

[nods a head over at the knight]

Let him do it.

*I SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING THERE. but picks it up.*

Sure, why not.

[I'm not doing anything but watching you, man]

*FLICKING HIMSELF WITH THE STUPID ELASTIC BAND GAWD*

Ah . . . thank you for your help.

[just watches . . .]

[watchinggg and maybe shooting Torrent a Look for his attitude.]

[my attitude is justified :I]

[This time, the snakes deposit some (somehow dry) pieces of paper and pencils. Again the Sea Witch's voice fills the room] For your second task, you will agree to let me force a member of another team to drink a potion of my choosing. The effects may be slightly embarrassing but they will not be painful. This time, you must each write your decision on one of the pieces of paper before placing it in the pool. If you cannot write, simply mark the paper however you choose- your intention is what is important. If all of you, or all but one, decide to stop then you will be out of the game. If two or more vote to continue then the task will be carried out and you will continue.

You cannot show another how you have marked the paper.

((If any of them try to show someone else the paper it will appear blank. If they try to throw blank paper into the pool it will stick to their fingers until they've made a decision and marked it. Please comment to your team thread here with your character's decision))

here!

This is a lot easier than I expected.

It doesn't seem too bad so far.

I'm fine with that.

Mm, yes.

So far the bluff guess was right.

[MUSSES PAUL'S HAIR]

Lucky guess. Although I won't complain.

[fjakds DUCKS AWAY and shoots a look :I!1]
