GULGALLANA

[ Well. You're in an elevator now. A gross, rusty elevator.

There are buttons on the panel in front of you, all team-coloured and numbered. Above the door are two panels, one indicating what floor you are on, and the other indicating what floor every other team is on.

The voice comes in through the intercom again: ]

Subject has a tendency to subconsciously cast spells in her sleep. This ranges from mildly inconvenient to wildly disastrous, due to the state of altered reality it creates.

The most recent incident involved a scenario wherein several of her classmates, including myself, were on their way to an unspecified business meeting. However, the building was dilapidated and upon entering the elevators we found they did not function as they should. We were, then, told by malicious spirits haunting the building that the only way out was to reach the top and make it to the meeting, by using the control panels to try to drop the other elevators into the boiler room. Where they would, ah, boil.

As you can tell, this is patently ridiculous. Dreams usually are. She has been reading too many horror stories and dramas, I suppose.

The incident previous to that involved --

It really is ridiculous. In the first place, why didn't they all share the same elevator?

Anyways, we need to figure out who to drop. We can raise one of the teams we'll protect too, but that's outright giving another team an advantage.

And why didn't they take the stairs if the building was so unreliable. [Inspecting the gross rust on one of the elevator walls. Very homey.]

Spending all three points on the same team would almost guarantee that they lose, even if we don't win. Is there anyone we don't like?

Well, if you're talking about active dislike, there isn't anyone. Alectryon, Barghest, Henwen and Vanara are teams we don't care about, but I haven't seen anyone from Vanara here.

It seems like "last one standing" is a victory option too, if we want to go that way.

Then it doesn't matter to me. We can give one to each, if this Vanara isn't playing. Or all three to...Henwen, let's say.

Let's give one to each for now, then. We'll be able to snipe the weaker targets next round.

Mm. We can make more efficient choices once we see where the others are aiming.

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2014-10-18 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm. That's about what I expected, really... Should we focus on sniping Barghest, or try to bring the ones higher than us down a little?

[Staring at the numbers thoughtfully]

How literal do you suppose that story about the boiler room is?
debate_avenger: (I can't explain.)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2014-10-18 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
...It's hard to tell. There's no guarantee it isn't literal. Either way, it seems like we're fine as long if we're at ten or above.

...forget Barghest. Apparently they have enough problems. The ones above us are more important. Otherwise they might try to secure their position by knocking us down.

If it is literal, I'd rather not find out firsthand, hm?
debate_avenger: (I can't explain.)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2014-10-18 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true, yes. Then, let's see...

Everyone above us is an ally, too... Let's go with Epona and Dawon. We have an actual alliance with Amalthea, so I'd rather not fight them if we don't have to, but that means we'll go after Ometotchtli instead...
dirtydoll: (We don't have honesty)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] dirtydoll 2014-10-18 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
With Amalthea? Hmm...

Takshaka is one floor up as well...but we can't spread out too much without sacrificing the point to ourselves.

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2014-10-18 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a question of whether someone will continue to target us now that our position's remained the same. If people will go after anyone above ten, it's better to not use a point on ourselves as long as there's someone higher than us. Of course, there's no guarantee that's how they'll play.
dirtydoll: (On the clothing line)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] dirtydoll 2014-10-18 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Someone must have hit us last round, or we would have gone up. There's no reason to believe they won't do it again.
debate_avenger: (I can't explain.)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2014-10-18 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Then, Epona, Dawon, and Takshaka?

Re: DISCUSSION

And the last point to ourselves. Yes.

Let's hope for the best, then.
