OMETOTCHTLI

[. . . you wake up laying prone on your stomach on a swaying hanging bird cage. The entire room around you is dark, making it impossible to tell what your surroundings are. The cage is plenty large enough to fit you and your team, and the iron bars are far too tough to be broken. The cage is suspended by rickety chains over a large pit of fire]

[NEEDLESS TO SAY. . . falling would not be a pleasant experience]

[You can see the other team cages suspended in the air around you. They're far enough away that you can easily hold a private conversation with your team, but close enough that if you yell really loudly, you may be able to talk to them]

[The strange voice speaks up again]

See those chains? Ah yes, the ones that are keeping you from plummeting to your deaths below. They're old, rickety, and weak. Too much weight will surely break them. So what do you think your goal is? That's right! Try to break the other teams' chains, while keeping yours safe! Ahahaha! Let's see how well you all do!

Ah. . . right. And one last thing.

If every team winds up with the exact same amount of stones, then I'll make sure e̺̪ͥ̽̉̽̈́̈́̌ ́́͗v͂ͭ̐ͫͭ̾ ̰̦͎̬͚ͮ͒̍e̳̼͔̤̼͐̓ͨ̍ͤ̏ ͌̏̓̑͊̉r̭̗̰̬̫͕ͯ ̜̲̩̠̪̥̱͐̿͑͋͐̅̀y̘̓͌ ̪̻̲̪͎̰̤o̺̮͇͇̒̅ ̣̟̞̜̥̪̰̊ͧ̅n͍̺͎̯̰̠ ̤͔̘͉͉̼e̜͚̤͕̻͊͐̈́̒̂̃ͣ ̤̝̦̦͈̹ͯ̓̅̎̈̆̀'̣̞̯ ̝͈̭̪̤̇̈ͮ͑͛ͮ̋s̗̠͚̦̤̭̥̔̈́͌ͪͯ̈̎ chains break.

...Our goal, I suppose, should be to determine which team is likely to receive the most stones and put all of ours on that one.

-Oi, let's not get ahead of ourselves. We might be able to talk to the other teams, figure somethin' out.

There is nothing to figure out, unless someone is going to agree to die for everyone else.

We already appear to be people's default choice for 'who to dump misfortune on'.

Who'd get the most stones, huh. . .

Unfortunately.

The most likely case is us. Or one of the new teams.

Maybe. . . you could be right 'bout the new teams. If the other teams are playin' to protect their friends. . .

[how is vash handling that, thisss could be bad]

Barghest and Alectryon may also be options, in that case. They do not seem very friendly.

You do realize that if we put all our stones on one team, there's a decent chance they'll die 'cause of us?

That is the point, yes.

Re: Round 1

[personal profile] trailofblood 2014-10-01 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it is.

We'll do what we gotta do, to try an' survive. But it's not somethin' to be taken lightly.

For you, perhaps. But I do not exactly have a sense of morality.

If you want, I can be the one to effectively commit murder.

[uh]

You know what, we'll talk about that more when we're not trapped in a cage over a pit of fire.

For now, I'll do that part. We just gotta decide on a team.
anarchydemocracy: (but that's okay it'll play)

Re: Round 1

[personal profile] anarchydemocracy 2014-10-02 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Our choices are between Henwen, Vanara, Barghest, and Alectryon, then?

Barghest it is. Hopefully luck will be with us.
