TAKSHAKA ( + AOKO, ARMIN)

[You find yourself in a bright white room, the door locked shut behind you. There's a long glass table in the middle of the room, with an unsealed envelope on top—it contains your instructions; if you can't read them yourself, you'll hear Nyssa's voice whispering in your ear, reading them aloud for you. Surrounding the table are enough glass chairs for everyone to sit down.

The floor is made of glass, and taking up most of the wall opposite the door is a window. The room beyond is currently empty …]

[ cccclenches her fists ]

So, instead of making us choose who dies, she's trying to make us choose who lives.

It's still, technically, choosing who dies. By choosing who lives, we are still choosing five people to die.

It's all the same, in the end.

What a disgusting excuse for a person!

... We could get more pardons.

Four more.

Um. That still leaves one person without a pardon, though.

I was going to do that anyway. Even if it isn't everybody, it's ... it's something.

It's better than five.

I'll volunteer.

—No, I volunteer, too—

We can't all do it.

[ brrrrreathe, aoko, breathe ... ]

Do you have anything we can flip or spin?

[digging through a pocket... and pulling out a pair of dice]

... I have these?

We should buy all the pardons we can.

That will help at least 9 people, overall, at least.

Edited 2014-11-01 15:38 (UTC)

It's better than nothing.

... Yeah.

[ narrows her eyes ]

In all of the rounds.

Definitely.

I'm fine with losing at least one sense.

[ h... hrrrgh ]

I could do it.

...It's probably best if we all go in different rounds.

... Mm. [ nods, slowly ]

Do you have anything we can flip or spin?

[...digs a pen from a pocket]

Would this work?

Ah—it looks like Wren has some dice, so we can use those. Whoever guesses the closest number can go first, second closest goes second, and third closest goes third.

Alright, that sounds good.

—Are you sure? I could do it, too. I mean—I don't mind. But...

[there are going to be more rounds, so this is far from the start]

If there are three rounds, we can all go in different ones. That would be better than anyone having to go more than once.

True. . .

Aoko suggested using something to help us decide, for this round.

That's as good a way to go about it as anything else.
