TAKSHAKA ( + AOKO, ARMIN)

[soulping]

[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 …]

... We could get more pardons.

Four more.

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

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

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

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

It's better than five.

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

I'll volunteer.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

—No, I volunteer, too—

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

We can't all do it.

[ brrrrreathe, aoko, breathe ... ]

Do you have anything we can flip or spin?

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

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

... I have these?

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

That should work ...

We can guess numbers. Whoever guesses closest can go first, second goes second, and so on.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

Yeah. . .

[pauses, before pulling out a d20]

This might be better, for that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

All right. I'll, um ... I'll guess sixteen.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

I'll. . . guess. . .

10.

Re: DISCUSSION

[endsintheocean]

Twelve.

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

[ AND AOKO ROLLS A 6 ]

... R-Right. So, that's that ... now we need to decide where are Pardons go.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

. . .

I guess that means that I am first, Armin is second, and Aoko is third? ... Which one do you think has the most leeway, out of all of them?

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

Mm, that's how it is, if you're okay with that.

[ ... ]

I wonder ... if we shouldn't try to give one to each, and roll for the one we leave over. [ she says it reluctantly, uncertainly ] I don't like the idea of trying to judge them all.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

I don't, either.

We... okay. We can use the d6 dice, and whatever comes up, comes up? Both of them, that is. And if we get an eleven or twelve, we roll again.

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

If we used the D20, eleven could be one and twelve could be two, etc.

E-Either way.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

[nods, before rolling—]

15. So, five.

Re: DISCUSSION

[endsintheocean]

...Yeah. We can do that.
