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.

--Where are we?

Re: DISCUSSION

[exchanged]

You-- uh. You're halfway through a game.

[and he's looking really tired and pale.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[headcannon]

[ looks-- around ]

A... not very jovial one, by the look of it. Are you-- alright?

[ sorry. concern. I'm concerned. And dizzy ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[exchanged]

[we can both just be ????? for a bit because wow.]

It's been terrible. Maybe you should... sit down.

Re: DISCUSSION

[headcannon]

...Perhaps so.

[ drifts over to one of the...uncomfortable bed, sitting heavily ]

My timing is-- perhaps unfortunate, in that case.

Re: DISCUSSION

[exchanged]

... honestly, I don't even care about that. I'm just glad you're here to break up the mood.

Re: DISCUSSION

[headcannon]

...Tell me?

Chariot and Sasuke have been arguing since the beginning of the game. Sasuke's trying to play aggressively, saying that we can get enough points to use a barrier on ourselves and another team. Chariot says that Sasuke's just using the same logic that we're all sick of other teams using: they're going to get hurt anyway, so we'll selfishly protect just ourselves and some other people we arbitrarily decided on. Chariot's right, but I'm not sure what the better option is, and I'm sick of arguing. They came to a kind of agreement at the beginning, but... it's totally broken down now.

And we have to take a bunch of negative effects this round.

[ hisses softly ]

I-- my presence here is not going to decrease his desire to play aggressively.

Re: DISCUSSION

[exchanged]

I know. But it's different reasoning than what's been going on so far, and having you around... stabilizes him.

[s-sigh.]

Sorry. This is a bad welcome back.

Re: DISCUSSION

[headcannon]

[ shakes his head ]

I'm-- glad to be here. I suppose. For what stability I can offer.

I'm glad you're out of the book... you scared us.
