ROOM 1

[ You are standing in a circle in a large, open field. ]

[ ....the people standing with you are not your teammates. ]

[ However, on the ground in the middle of the circle is a silver camphor leaf. ]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

The silver camphor leaf glitters in the muted sunlight. If you touch it, you will receive a message in a voice that sounds like Mikage of Sterling:

Hey! We know that sometimes these games can be kinda scary, and that you might feel like you're alone during them. But we want to let you all know: you're not alone. There will always be people to support you.

You realize that this item can be used to dull or relieve some of the pain that you receive during the game in Mulan's rounds. All you have to do is whisper what you want healed to the leaf, and it will provide at least some relief, once during the game.

As you walk through the field, you find an open clearing. In the clearing, people keel -- and they stare at you with worried, scared eyes. These are people you know.

Plum. Robin. Natasha. Haru. Apple. Nagisa.

In each of your hands, you now hold a sword. Mulan's voice echoes through the fields, but it sounds far away and hollow.

Are you willing to kill them, if ordered to do so by someone in authority?
Would you be willing to, even if the punishment was death?
And if you are not, would you be willing to take the punishment onto yourself on their behalf, even if it was death?

You understand that you may choose separately, or make the decision as a group. However, Mulan will value your discussion above everything else -- not talking to anyone about what choice to make will garner you a bad result.

( Please specify if your answer is individual or a group answer, and OOCly how truthful your character is being. )

...Really? This kind of stupid thing?

[pardon her, she's panicking a little bit]

- Nagisa!

Of course I couldn't kill her. No matter what. Even if I did get hurt.

[NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE.]

[well at least i can tell what your answer would be]

[the sword in his hand starts trembling]

W-What is this...?

This is beyond stupid!

I've never been one to simply do as I was told, so my answer is simple enough.

Well yeah. But what Star doesn't get is... Why is it that our only choices are "kill them" or "die in their place?" Star's pretty sure that she wouldn't be part of some group that's trying to force her to kill her friends or die in their place.
