[ You're in a room with a tall glass box in the center. Around the glass box are seven desks. On each desk is a paper and three buttons. The only illumination in the room is a single light inside the glass box. ]

Answer truthfully and individually. We'll see how balanced you teams really are.

H-hi.

[staring back at her, just as wide eyed]

. . . hello . . .

Re: FREAKOUT THREAD

[sticksofthejedi]

N-not to be rude but I'm not sure how long I'm going to be able to keep moving. So I'm going to go ahead and tell you the situation on my end. There's three buttons out here. Hurt, kill, and exchange.

. . .

And of course, as usual, we don't know what "exchange" entails . . . nor the clear path to the best possible outcome . . .

Re: FREAKOUT THREAD

[sticksofthejedi]

I'd guess you'll exchange places with someone. Probably me, since there's no guarantee there'd be the same number of teams picking exchange.

You can't say . . . "probably me." It could be anyone. I don't want—

[ HURT ] --- [ KILL ] --- [ EXCHANGE ]

[ there's the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and then the inner walls of the glass box shift and become tinnnyyy spirals. These spirals stretch inward sloowwwllyy drilling into Lelouch. Never deep enough to kill -- and they're small enough and well placed enough that he won't die of blood loss. Well, at least not yet.

The drills will continue slowly turning in until the game is over. ]

[SUDDENLY: DRAGON]

What is happening? Who is that? Am I late, what was the choice?

Re: RESULTS

[sticksofthejedi]

[congratulations have a grown woman who is not quite to the point of tears here]

Hurt him, kill him or an option that would probably either reverse our positions or just make me choose to hurt or kill someone else.

Re: RESULTS

[WRAPS A WING OVER]

Did he choose for himself?

Re: RESULTS

[sticksofthejedi]

[mumbling]

Just...not exchange. I thought the rest of the team would've wanted this.
