GM - Tiger's Eye

[dramatispersonae]

The room is like any other room, really—a cabin with a door, and windows, and beds. But the fireplace never gets warm, and the beds are hard, and the air is cold.

(Is it familiar, this place? It's hard to tell . . .)

On the table there is food—water, and dry bread, and there is a pot of stew that always stays warm, and full, and smells delicious.

There are also five cards, waiting for your decision.

Yeah. Obviously designed that we will play along, only to keep from others getting hurt because we won't.

[pacing now, clearly getting agitated]

Just because we're picking doesn't mean we have to play along with the rest of this—we'll pick one, the easiest one, and forget the rest of this stupid game!

Re: DISCUSSION

[bunny_ears]

Right. But we need to agree as a team to do that. And there are two 'five' cards... cravings or blisters. Sounds like a hell of a choice.

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourewaitingforagate]

Cravings won't hurt but if it's just as bad as blisters, how far would it go? How far will they go?

Re: DISCUSSION

[bunny_ears]

We don't know this Persona. Some of them will go pretty far.

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourewaitingforagate]

Do you think I don't know that? I've see what happens in these games too!

Re: DISCUSSION

[bunny_ears]

Just clarifying that I don't know this Persona. Some of them, you can at least predict if they're very awful or kinda awful.

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourewaitingforagate]

That doesn't change a thing about how awful this is, Joy!

Re: DISCUSSION

[bunny_ears]

I'm not saying it does.

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourewaitingforagate]

Then what do those other Personae matter if they're not this one? It's this one who's put us up to this kind of thing when none of the rest of them ever have before!

Re: DISCUSSION

[bunny_ears]

Just a reminder of exactly how bad it can get.

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourewaitingforagate]

I don't need a reminder when it's right there in front of me!

[gestures wildly at the cards]

Re: DISCUSSION

[bunny_ears]

Right.

Pastel couldn't get the answer for uncontrollable cravings, so I think it's probably not 'pickles with chocolate sauce'.

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourewaitingforagate]

This isn't something to joke about! This is something we're going to inflict on another team!!

Re: DISCUSSION

[bunny_ears]

Sorry. Banter is a nervous habit of mine, from when I wasn't allowed to swear.

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourewaitingforagate]

Yeah well it's not helping us figure out what to do now—is five points really as low as they go?

Re: DISCUSSION

[bunny_ears]

It's as low as we got. We can't exactly ask to see the deck.

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourewaitingforagate]

We can at least see if there's a chance to get something lower if we switched out.

Hey, Persona!
