GM - Turquoise

[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.

Any teams you care strongly about?

Re: discussion

[friend_request]

Yes, Sterling.

Re: discussion

[screwthatnoise]

Anything else?

Re: discussion

[friend_request]

No, there is no other.

Re: discussion

[screwthatnoise]

That helps.

I want to know what teams to avoid.

Re: discussion

[friend_request]

Yes, that is wise. Which ones do we have to avoid?

Re: discussion

[screwthatnoise]

From what I have heard (and what I am assuming) so far: Sapphire, Kunzite, Emerald, Citrine, Amethyst, Peridot, Heliodor, Ruby... and possibly Iolite and Coral. We should probably avoid Carnelian.

Leaving us with the option to target Tiger's Eye, Jasper, the first group of Sterling, Onyx... and possibly Iolite or Coral.

Re: discussion

[friend_request]

. . . that is a long list, yes. . .

Re: discussion

[screwthatnoise]

Yes... the list to avoid is longer than the list to target. I was surprised to find out that the team cared about this many people.

Re: discussion

[friend_request]

It does not surprise me, but we must be careful.

Re: discussion

[screwthatnoise]

Back then we had more options...

[back then was different. ..]

Whichever our choice, we will be fine.

Re: discussion

[friend_request]

Yes. I am not concerned.

Re: discussion

[screwthatnoise]

I am only concerned for our teammates. Suffering is nothing new. Neither is causing harm to another tea. By some means. It hurts...

But now I am struck with worry for them. You, two, even though you seem brave.

Re: discussion

[friend_request]

. . . we can decide how we want to take the punishments we may get, can we not. . .? It would not be so difficult then to protect those on our team.

Re: discussion

[screwthatnoise]

...that is frustrating. Observing a teammate in pain, whether or not they accept it willingly, causes discomfort, too.

Re: discussion

[friend_request]

If one is a shield then they are a shield.

[ sort of off-handedly. ]

Re: discussion

[screwthatnoise]

[???]

You are see speaking of the protection we can purchase?

Re: discussion

[friend_request]

No. But it is not an issue, currently.

Re: discussion

[screwthatnoise]

[wow that is why you do not reply from your phone...]

Then what...?

Re: discussion

[friend_request]

What?

Re: discussion

[screwthatnoise]

What shield are you talking about?

Re: discussion

[friend_request]

To shield others.
