[ Game 45 ] Peridot

[dramatispersonae]

[ You find yourselves inside of an empty great hall. Torches and candles light the hall, showing the remains of a feast scattered on the tables that run the length of the room. ]

((OOC: This is entirely at your own pace! Ping me in IRC when your team is ready to move on to the next round.))

Round Two

[dramatispersonae]

[ The doors at the back of the hall open with a bang, as the Green Knight enters. He carries a large, green ax with him. ]

Now that you have come to an understanding about your own limits as a team, I have a game to propose. The conditions are this: With this ax, I will allow one of you to strike a blow to my neck and take off my head. However, in a few months' time, you must allow me to strike the same blow against you. Those are the conditions of my challenge. Are any of your courageous enough to take it?

((OOC: The decision should be yes or no. The Green Knight will wait for your response, but will not speak unless you address him directly. If you do address him, please ping me!))

It has nothing to do with courage—do not present a false dichotomy.

That said, we are not doing it.

He's provoking us, obviously.

Re: Discuss

[machiavellianiue]

Obviously. It's still unnecessary.

...You... seemed surprised when I said Peridot... does what your opinion is...

Re: Discuss

[machiavellianiue]

Well, if it's already my reputation, I might as well live up to it.

Re: Discuss

[silentknight]

I don't think it's courage, either. I think it's... more courage to stay with what we... decided. And fighted over.

[A LOT MORE SUBDUED THAN USUAL]

...Hah. I would volunteer, but that would violate the principles we have just made, would it not?

[machiavellianiue]

And irritate me to no end.

Re: Discuss

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Oh no. I would never want to irritate you, Lelouch.

But he'll totally grow it back if he can come back to get me later! This is like epic fantasy stuff!

Re: Discuss

[machiavellianiue]

When did you even get here?! —and no!

Re: Discuss

[itcouldbebunnies]

A few minutes ago~ This can be my contribution!

[hand on his arm]

Dev... Day is... having a hard time. With knowing we make... hard choices. I don't... think saying yes will be good for Peridot right now.

Re: Discuss

Heeeyyy. I'm sneaky like that you know? A ninja. Super good at escaping death and stuff.
