[ 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.

So she'll be hurt instead?

...

What do you want to do?

[lifts his chin, scratching at the floor of the box with his talons]

She may be exchanged, I do not know what the two of them would decide or if Sticks has Breeze at all, but Sticks will not kill unless it is the choice of the one in the box.

If it is my choice, I would choose to hurt me. I do not know where an exchange would send me, or if it would put one of you in my place and so make you hurt one of your own, and so I would choose Hurt. In the last question I chose to have an enduring injury rather than a quick death, and that is again my option now.

I think it's fair to make it your choice, personally. You're the one it'd happen to, after all... Thank you. I'll confer with my teammate but I'll warn you before we press the button so you can prepare yourself. What's your name?

I called Obsidian here and in China I am known as Lung Tien Xiang.

Which would you prefer I use?

[holy crap wait Breeze is back]

I prefer Obsid--[BRB CLAWING AT THE GLASS LIKE A PUPPY IN A PETSTORE]

Obsidian, then.

[wwwaits]

...Um, it sounds like it would get you out, but we don't know what would happen -- if someone else gets put in. I feel the choice should still be yours.

I would very much like to be exchanged, since it is unlikely now that I would be swapped with one of your own. Whoever it is I am exchanged for, then it may be their choice in turn.

But whatever it is that is decided, pray do not kill me. I will accept any choice but that willingly.
