GM - Onyx

[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.

I'd rather just put it all on myself.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

You'd die.

Re: DISCUSSION

[roomforhope]

I know.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

It's better to spread the damage out among people who can manage it. Here, you can rely on us, y'know.

Re: DISCUSSION

[roomforhope]

[ ah-- hesitates ]

I know that. I'm just...not used to it.

[ she's just not totally sure okay ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

We don't get to play together that often for games like this, so that's understandable. But we are here for each other.

Re: DISCUSSION

[roomforhope]

Okay.

[ nodding! ]

Sorry about that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

Hey- you don't need to apologize for that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[roomforhope]

I feel like I do.

[ raising her arms and shrugging ]

This game just feels so wrong to me. Everything I know from home makes me feel like this is a bad idea, but there's just no way around it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

It is a bad idea, and I'm pretty sure if we were given a proper choice, very few people would willingly play this game. But given that not playing it will make things worse, the best we can do is keep our damage minimal.

... Though I think I need to apologize to you- I'm not too sure how things are now since it's been a while since I've played in games like this, but knights tend to... fair pretty badly in these games.

Re: DISCUSSION

[roomforhope]

I'm still not sure I like it, but that sounds better than nothing.

. . . what do you mean, fare badly?

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

We end up targeted a lot. We've been among the first to die in games that require you to target specific teams.

Re: DISCUSSION

[roomforhope]

--why? What did we do to them?

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

Nothing, we just... are usually pretty low on the importance chain. Things might be different now.

[ Though really he doesn't sound like he believes that. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[roomforhope]

I can't believe this. Seriously?

[ grr ]

I have to trust that at least Amethyst isn't going to hurt us.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

We might be safe from Emerald too, if Sasuke's brother is playing, but I'm afraid I don't really bring any teams to table, so to speak.

Re: DISCUSSION

[roomforhope]

Chariot...it's fine. To be honest, I can't expect Amethyst to even remember, considering they've been having so many team problems lately. And two out of the whole is still a lot of leeway...

[ sigh ]

You guys are a good team, for all that we're not a team.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

We can manage teamwork pretty well.

[ /Sideeye Sasuke ]

Most of the time, anyway.

Re: DISCUSSION

[roomforhope]

Well...nine times out of ten, maybe.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

Let's see what we can compromise to.

[ Or sit on him with. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[roomforhope]

I don't want to kill anyone unless it's absolutely the last option.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

Agreed.

Re: DISCUSSION

[roomforhope]

[ do you bro fist let's bro fist ]

We should get a piano after this.

Re: DISCUSSION

[madeofsilver]

Say that again and I'll punch you so hard that you'll be out the rest of the game.

Re: DISCUSSION

[roomforhope]

Okay, okay!

[ w o w ]

Let's not all punch Stephanie at once.
