GM - Tiger's Eye

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.

[rrhhgh, crosses his arms for a second before throwing them down again]

The power of us struggling and suffering. All to push the Dakrness back.

. . . I hate it.

I wish they could harness the power of love and kindness instead.

It'd be better for us—for Aather, for everyone, if it was that way.

. . . I agree.

We've just got to keep changing them—make them stop playing these kind of stupid games.

I know. I know. Josh says the same thing all of the time.

So why isn't it making any difference—?

I don't know.

[:(]

I wish I did. Truly.

Only they know—and they aren't telling.

The Personae? But why?

Who knows. Their stories? Their roles? Whatever it is it doesn't matter now.

Mmm. . .

No, what matters now are the decisions we have placed in front of us.

Right.

[takes a breath, he's calmed a little bit still clearly not okay with all of this]

Leif doesn't want to hit Heliodor, Ruby, or Sapphire. I'm with him on Heliodor and Ruby, I don't want to hit Emerald or Citrine either.

I don't want to target Peridot, or Kunzite.

Joy doesn't want to hit the knights—so that leaves Coral, Jasper, Carnelian, Turquoise, Iolite, and Amethyst.

I suppose we should consider who to tar-- [no, 'target' is an awful word] . . . who to play cards on once we pick our cards.

Right, about that—I want to try for a new hand.

I don't think Leif will agree to that.

Why not? We could get a card that's less than a five if we tried.

He doesn't wish to play hard, but he does want to attempt to gain enough points to buy a shield for Tiger's Eye.

What good is a shield going to do us if we just have to hurt other teams to get it.

I don't want to hurt other teams either, Phoenix. But. . .

[quietly]

It isn't shameful to want to protect your team.

[that takes the rest of the wind out of him]

—I want to protect you guys too. I just don't want to see anyone else hurt . . .

Neither do I.

It's. . . a difficult situations.

It's this stupid game—
