THE GLITTERING CAVE

[soulping]

[You step through the sparkling door, and find yourself in an equally sparkling cavern. It's warm in here, though not so warm that it dispels the chill you may still be feeling from the snow plains. In a circle of torch like are twelve team colored treasure chests: only yours is open, and it contains 11 beautiful crystals.

But you may be paying more attention to the bigass hot pink dragon lounging on an outcropping high above. It's hard to tell in the faint, flickering light, but there's something weird about its scales … is that … is that gummy candy?

Isabel's voice once again echoes from above:]

You made it! Whoo, whoo! Now it's time for Isabel's Dragon Challenge. It's, like, super easy, don't worry! Every team starts this round with eleven gemstones, see? What you've gotta do is steal one or two from the other teams. Just tap the teams' chest and say how many you're gonna steal—you can steal once from two different teams, twice from the same team, just plain ol' once, or not at all!

The three teams with the lowest score are dragon chow, bwahahaha! Seriously though don't worry they'll be, like, just fine, you know.

… and, uh, if you all end with eleven, that counts as everybody losing, 'kay?

Candy dragon, huh?

Re: DISCUSS

...

[Thinking, thinking...]

Should we steal one each from two of the hardest playing teams?

Re: DISCUSS

[cosmetician]

Give them a taste of their own medicine, you mean?

Re: DISCUSS

[killerfields]

In a way.

It'd also prevent them from getting ahead of everyone else.

Re: DISCUSS

[cosmetician]

Makes sense to me, since they'd probably go after a team like Takshaka that isn't likely to steal from anyone.

Who'd you have in mind?

Re: DISCUSS

[killerfields]

Amalthea, Alectryon, Tiamat, and Barghest.

I'd rather not steal from Barghest though, and we've got an alliance with Amalthea - so Alectryon and Tiamat.

That cool with you?

Re: DISCUSS

[cosmetician]

Yeah, that sounds good.

Re: DISCUSS

[killerfields]

Alright. Alectryon and Tiamat it is.

I'll make it up to Tora later - bring her a bag of gummy worms and a milkshake or something.

Re: DISCUSS

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

That is an idea.

Though we can't steal with Amalthea cause alliance, I think?

Re: DISCUSS

[killerfields]

Yeah, I know. Leo'd punch me, anyway.

How's Alectryon and Tiamat sound?

Re: DISCUSS

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

We DO owe Tiamat.

Re: DISCUSS

[killerfields]

Well, Gloss is okay with it too.

So I guess we're going with those two.

Re: DISCUSS

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Sounds good.

Re: DISCUSS

[cosmetician]

We owe them one "hit" in a harmless game, unless they've spent that already when I wasn't around.

Alliances are more for the rougher games, anyway.

Re: DISCUSS

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Do we?

True.

Re: DISCUSS

[cosmetician]

Yep.

[...a sigh, turning half-serious for a second]

With our team, though, I'm not so sure that alliances are worth that much.

Re: DISCUSS

[killerfields]

[flicks her ear from behind]

Then don't think of it as an alliance.
Think of it as "Ventus's best friend is on that team".

Re: DISCUSS

[cosmetician]

Ow.

[reaches back to yank on HIS ear]

I didn't mean it like that, you brat.

Re: DISCUSS

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

What do ya mean?

Re: DISCUSS

[cosmetician]

[hang on i'm squabbling with ventus]

[Stealing once from two teams, those teams being Alectryon and Tiamat!

Also he kinda tapped the chests with his foot. Like. Gentle kicks.]

RESULTS

[soulping]

[The hot pink gummy dragon—which is the approximate size of an elephant—SWOOPS MAJESTICALLY DOWN from its perch and gobbles all of you up, swallowing you whole! Don't worry, it doesn't hurt. You just slide down its delicious candy gullet and find yourself back in endgame.]
