[ Game 45 ] Emerald

[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 One

[dramatispersonae]

[ A scroll, feather pen, and inkwell appears in the air, in front of your team. If you open the scroll, it reads:

How far will your team go to win a game? Are there any lines that you can not or will not cross? Do the ends justify the means? Discuss your limits with your team and form a consensus. Be as detailed as possible. Please write your response below.

There is indeed enough room to write your reply under the question. ]

So, I know you guys have mentioned Emerald doesn't do killing people. What else?

Re: Discuss

[forthefonofit]

As a group, yes. If we don't agree on an action together, we're prone to come up with a compromise or not do it at all.

I think it's more that we won't kill without reason or allow ourselves to be forced into it by a persona.

Hey. You're Stealth's brother, right? Nice to meet you.

It's really more or less what we think is "fair", isn't it...

Good evening, Hisoka.

[Written in the worst chickenscratch ever, partly from dictation]

We'd rather take the damage ourselves than kill or seriously hurt somebody else, given the slightest option. Anything else depends on severity and situation.

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!))

...Why do you want anyone to take your head off? We don't really have a reason to want to.

Re: Discuss

[fraternalorders]

That's true. Most of us haven't met you before.

Re: Round Two

[twilight_boy]

[Addressed directly to the Green Knight:] I know you're a Persona, so you'll probably come back from this easily, but I should still ask. Will you come back from this all right?

Re: Round Two

[dramatispersonae]

I cannot answer.

[Steps up.] I'll take your challenge.

Round Three

[dramatispersonae]

[ The Green Knight hands his ax over to the chosen warrior, then kneels down and bends his neck. ]

Strike quick and true.

Re: Round Three

[twilight_boy]

[Balances his hold on the axe; just stands there for a moment, making sure neither of them is going to flinch; then uses every damn ounce of his swordsmanship skills to make sure the cut is instant and clean.]

Re: Round Three

[dramatispersonae]

[ The head of the Green Knight rolls around the room, while blood spurts from his neck. He slowly stands, then moves to pick up his head. The head speaks, as he holds it: ]

Thank you for an enjoyable game, young heroes and knights.

Re: Round Three

[dramatispersonae]

[ You can now proceed to the endgame. ]
