Amethyst & Robin
[You're in a grand circular room, the walls and floor and ceiling all made of mirrors. A small incense pot hangs underneath a hole in the middle of the ceiling; the smoke from it smells sweet and strange, with overtones of decay, and makes you feel a little queasy. Overall, it may be quite familiar to a few of you who were present for a certain game in Camelot…]
[As you absorb this, a small, dark stone rolls through the hole in the ceiling and lands in the basket . . . and the whole room moves down a little under your feet.]
[You feel s͠o̧m҉ethin͜g small and alien shift under your flesh in response -- in your arm or your leg or perhaps your chest. There’s no pain (yet), just a heavy numbness where it’s embedded inside you . . .]

Re: DISCUSSION
So for the five to play on, how about:
- Heliodor + Peridot + Judar
- Citrine + Iron
- Sapphire + Silver
- Amethyst + Robin
- Kunzite + Jade
And we can then give ourselves the negative stone...?

Minato. Here. It's—it'll be fine.

Re: DISCUSSION
Re: DISCUSSION
...We have to get out of here. There's no way to survive in here. Even with just one round left we'll die. There's five teams left now, so at the best case scenario, there's four stones per team. That'll knock out two teams, which will drag the remaining others down, plus our own drops from play. Otherwise the only way would be if everyone played on one team but there's no guarantees of that, and that'll just ensure more teams go out and others drop and leave us in the final round with nobody to play on but the other remaining, all with more stones that have to be placed. There's too few visible floors for this game to have been possible from the start.
Kagari-san, we need to get out of here.

Let me warm you!

Re: DISCUSSION
Don't tell me not to touch you. If I can't keep you warm, what am I even good for?

Re: DISCUSSION
[FOCUSES TOO, trying to just.
Maybe we can set our keys on fire and also this entire room]

[kisses him]
Re: DISCUSSION
Mmph—
Re: DISCUSSION
[Kagari's wings do indeed fill up the entire elevator with fiery light, and combined with your keys the light quickly turns to fire, burning away holes in the mirror as though they were made of nothing more than mere paper.]
[Hold on tight, because you might not have a room anymore.]

ANSWER
RESULT
[Whatever is inside you seems to grow sluggish and heavy, and there’s a sense of it growing weak, shrinking inside you, the numbness around it fading. Perhaps, in another minute or two, if you focus, you can remove it from yourselves safely without further harm --
But then your room drops, a hard, jarring movement that interrupts your concentration, and you all feel a vicious pain instead: the parasites are still dying inside you, but they’ve gone into violent death throes. Their shadowy s̛͠p͏i̴̡͜ke̷s͝ ҉and̴͝͞ ͠҉f̸͝͡l̀̀a̕͝ń͜g͜͡e̶s͡͠ punch through your skin in several places before they shrivel and fade, leaving you with ragged and bleeding wounds.
You are able to look out at the other teams for a brief moment and the light from Kunzite's seems to ease your pain as you slowly go down, down, down into t̼̣̬͈̱̤͊͂͐ͭͅh͓͖̼̖͓̣̬̯̤̆̆̇͛̍̊̍̚e̩͓̳̙̺ͪͭ ̙̰ͥ̍ͩd̯̜̬̹ͨ́ͬ̅a̮͍͉͒́͑͂͌r̺̬̜͗̑͌̊͑̋k̞̹̃ͩ͂͒ͩ͛ͅ.]
