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.

[WHAT THE FUCK YOU GUYS]

No!

[shriek, where did you come from]

M. . . Melody--

[obviously team tiny would show up when it's time to get maimed]

Pastel. This game... No way. Why should we take those cards?

[clearly distressed, not trying to hide it]

. . . because, if we don't, then each one of us will be forced to take on all five penalties.

[UGH UGH UGH]

We shouldn't have to take any penalties at all!

[nooooo what about my friends what if they're out there getting their own penalties too what about TE you guys are going to get maimed and i can't stop it noooooo]

We shouldn't have to participate at all. It's wrong!

Damn it...

I'll take the shoes. If there's one thing I can handle, it's dancing.

Melody. . .

[but you're too young to be hurt why can't I take all of the hits]

The card make sit sound like it's more than just dancing.

[NO I SHOULD TAKE ALL THE PENALTIES ME]

I know.

[wants to argue, but. . . but. . .]

. . . I can take the deep sleep card, and. . . mmm. The corruption one. If. . . if the corruption makes me violent, then I would be asleep for one round of it. And everyone would be able to subdue me easily.

The corruption will get worse each round.

I know.

But if the person who takes that card is properly subdued, then it should hopefully not be an issue.

Oh, great.

[Nice to see you too. SCOWLING.]

Melody—! What are you doing here?!

The same thing as all of you.

Melody . . . you don't have to take one.

[>(!!!]

None of us should have to.

If we don't take them then it's on all of us—the rest of us can take them.

I'm a member of this team too.

I'm not saying that you're not—I just don't want to see anything like that happen to you, Melody!

I don't want to see anything happen to any of you either, we don't have a choice. And I can handle this.

There's one of us who doesn't have to take one, we only have five cards. If you want to take one in the next round—that's fine, but not this one. Please, Melody.

No, there's no guarantee the next round won't be worse, I'm doing this. I'll be alright, Phoenix.

[.__.]

—Which one are you going to take?
