[ Game 45 ] Iolite

[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. ]

...It's freakin' vague. Tch, annoying.

All I know is--when it comes to a game where any option is going to hurt someone, it needs to be the option that causes the least harm.

Re: Answer

[dormancy]

[writing as Obsidian speaks]

It is our preference, as a whole, not to inflict injury upon ourselves or upon other teams; we do not desire to maim and inflict irreparable injury, nor do we desire to kill.

However, as to our limits, we will cross that line when it becomes a matter of self-defense. When it is to protect our own lives or those of our dear friends, killing may become necessary and thus become acceptable.

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!))

Ah, would anyone object to my using a bead?

Re: Discuss

[sticksofthejedi]

What if it's a trick? He might be testing us to see if our actions will suit our words. Is taking his head off is consistent with the team's answer from earlier?

Re: Discuss

[dormancy]

If everyone objects, then I won't.

Re: Discuss

[shipwithwings]

What is there to gain from this challenge? As it stands, I have no reason to seek your death.

Re: Discuss

[dramatispersonae]

There is a memory to gain, perhaps.

Re: Discuss

[shipwithwings]

I see. I will consult with my teammates, to see what it is they wish to do.

Re: Discuss

[d0nt_need_r0ads]

Is death okay now?
