BARGHEST

[. . . 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]

If your oh so caring Haunt is light, then you may consider me d̗͙͊͗a̯̽̒͆ͥ̅r̬̺̙̠͖̠̥ͥk̰̦̲̄n̞̰̠̲͍͍̿̇̎͋͑̆e̜̰ͤͥ̇́̂͌s͚ͤ͗s͔̯͉̰͍͍̥̏ͦ̇͆ͩ̋͋. I will be running this game now-- my name is of no importance to you sorry lot. Listen up, and listen up well.

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.

[There's a small, circular weight tray hanging from the ceiling of the cage. You can see that there are THREE stones sitting within it]

[Who will you send them to?]

. . .ugh. Are you serious. . .

[ stretching his wings out outside of the cage bars, over on the other side of this thing. ]

's fine.

It isn't fine.

They jus' wanna kill someone off. Doesn't have'ta be us.

[CLUNK. The sound of stones falling into your weight tray reaches your ears. When it stops, you see that there are two stones sitting within it.]

[ looking over in the direction of the fallen cages.

angrily. ]

[ just... watching him over her knees, silent for a long moment. ]

... Mira.

Don't talk to me.

... just play on who you want this round.

[ well I've completely ruined everything ]

[ doesn't speak, just looking at the stones like maybe they'll melt if he stares at them hard enough ]

I'd tell you not to ignore me next time, 'cept I'm not gonna do shit with you like this next time.

Don't talk to me ever again.

............... Fine. But I'm going to do this again. Over and over, and over, every time they volunteer themselves. Every time anyone volunteers themselves.

[The round begins. . . and your weight tray is empty! Lucky you, it seems like no teams played stones you on this past round!]

[But don't get too comfortable. After a moment, you hear three loud CLUNKS of stones falling into the tray. . . which is soon followed by the mysterious voice]

Hahaha! No one wanted to share with you last round, huh? No matter! Here's three extra stones on me. Free of charge. Aren't I generous?

[Well. . . now you have three more stones to distribute]

[ just. chokes out a strained laugh. ]

I knew it.
