[ 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 --

Well, this should be easy enough. Try to move ourselves up each turn, evenly spread out ups to each of our allied teams, and try to scatter down points to the others in the same manner.

[ A FROWN. ]

... hopefully the 'boil' part isn't literal in here.

Why should we up anyone, though?

It is a suboptimal strategy for our own victory.

Everything blurs for a second as your elevator clunks its way upwards.

You start to itch. All over. Really badly.

[ ... Scratching his arm, annoyed. ]

Nnrgh...

[ But then looking at those results. ]

Epona for a down, this time? Maybe Tiamat again, too ... or Ratatoskr, depending on ... well. [ Gives a half shrug because what even is our thing with them now did we ever sort that out. ]

Maybe we can give an up to Alectryon this time, since they've gone down quite a bit.

Alectryon may go up, but I would suggest downing Epona and Dawon. We do not want them ahead of us.

Everything blurs for a second as your elevator clunks upwards.

The roof of your elevator slides open, revealing an empty white void...

AND A SKELETON POPS OUT.

THERE IS NOW A SKELETON IN YOUR ELEVATOR. SPOOPY.

[ Makes a quick, strangled noise, spins, and

Punches the skeleton in the face. ]

Up for us and maybe Ometotchtli this turn, and ... down for Epona again?

And...

[ Um. ]

...Dawon.

Dawon needs to drop.

Nothing seems to have happened.

[ STARING AT DAWON TBH.

Fuck. ]

...Dawon took one from us, and sixteen from other teams?

No, they have far too many friends for that.

Rook, would you like to try experimenting with me?

[Zaniah pushes the 'Amalthea Up' button.]

[And she continues pressing it over and over.]

[And it is the only button that she will be pressing and she is going to mash it like she's in a QTE and it's saying 'mash amalthea up.']
