OMETOTCHTLI

[ 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 --

[why can't we ever have nice things...]

This sounds like it will be pleasant.

[personal profile] anarchydemocracy 2014-10-18 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
At least this time there is no chance we will be instantly eliminated.
endsintheocean: (but my heart is a weight)

[personal profile] endsintheocean 2014-10-18 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
And it seems we don't have to use all our points against other teams.
anarchydemocracy: (never)

[personal profile] anarchydemocracy 2014-10-18 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
But we should.
endsintheocean: (I was raised up believing)

[personal profile] endsintheocean 2014-10-18 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it would be wiser to try and minimise damage.

[personal profile] redatheart 2014-10-18 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, we have to use some of them to advance ourselves.
anarchydemocracy: (just like a motor)

[personal profile] anarchydemocracy 2014-10-18 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
We can only use one to advance ourselves, and if we get near the top we will be piled on regardless. We should aim to survive, because in this case attempting to win is likely a death sentence.
endsintheocean: (my heart is so cold)

[personal profile] endsintheocean 2014-10-18 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Survival is exactly the reason why we should try to keep deaths to a minimum. The more teams die, the more people will panic and make reckless decisions.
anarchydemocracy: (so close you were almost gonna make it)

[personal profile] anarchydemocracy 2014-10-18 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
The people here panic at the hint of anything going slightly amiss, and they are incredibly prone to reckless decisions at literally all times.

Normally, I would suggest that we keep ourselves low in order to ensure that nobody plays against us, but the kind-heartedness of these people evidently does not extend to us.
endsintheocean: (considered cool)

[personal profile] endsintheocean 2014-10-18 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. You hold a grudge against all other teams because of Haunt's game, then?
anarchydemocracy: (just like a motor)

[personal profile] anarchydemocracy 2014-10-18 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Because of every game, but Haunt's was the most egregious, yes.
endsintheocean: (and the people all come out to cheer)

[personal profile] endsintheocean 2014-10-18 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
So instead of attempting to make peace with the other teams and ensure that they don't attack, you'd rather just hate them and let them kill you again and again.
anarchydemocracy: (mashin' up all the remixes)

[personal profile] anarchydemocracy 2014-10-18 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
There is no peace to make. Ometotchtli is disregarded simply because that is the thing to do, much like Henwen and Vanara are discarded for the crime of being too new.
endsintheocean: (and there's honeysuckle)

[personal profile] endsintheocean 2014-10-18 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
And you have no interest in even attempting to change that?

[our torturebot is an angry torturebot]

...Cable, at the very least we should be using this first round to evaluate how the other teams are playing, and if the trend continues to hold true.
anarchydemocracy: (so shout it and scream it!)

[personal profile] anarchydemocracy 2014-10-18 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine. You make the decision, then.
endsintheocean: (that would do such injustice to you)

[siiigh looking to Ampere]

Do you have any preferences regarding the teams we should target?
redatheart: (pic#8124509)

[personal profile] redatheart 2014-10-18 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It's more a matter of which teams not to target, to be honest. Epona and Amalthea are out...I would prefer not to target Tiamat, although I can't necessarily say that the courtesy will be extended from their team to ours.
endsintheocean: (but I don't scream and I don't shout)

[personal profile] endsintheocean 2014-10-18 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[nods]

I would prefer not to target Alectryon. How about Ratatoskr and Dawon?
redatheart: (pic#8124527)

[personal profile] redatheart 2014-10-18 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose.

[sorry lace he barely knows ye]

Then, are we sending one team down two flights? I'm not sure we should assist anyone until we have completed the first round either.
endsintheocean: (but my heart is a weight)

[personal profile] endsintheocean 2014-10-18 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it would be better to make it three different teams instead, in that case. Barghest, maybe?
