What shall we do? I believe I'd prefer to be a bird.
dirtydoll: (Orange isn't ANYONE'S color)

[personal profile] dirtydoll 2015-02-14 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. A bird. It's not even a choice.
debate_avenger: (This is the way it should be)

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2015-02-14 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
It wouldn't be bad to be a bird at all... The question though, is how we want to play the game.
debate_avenger: (My plans are already in motion)

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2015-02-14 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Now then... this game's fundamentally about predicting how the other teams are going to act, but there are other ways to play as well:

Going against the crowd means having to do whatever task you didn't prefer, so one way to play to avoid the worst case scenario is to say the opposite of whatever you would prefer: then even if you're wrong, in the worst case you just end up doing whatever you would rather do.

Of course, that isn't exactly a winning strategy.
cihuatlatoani: (Smile2)

[personal profile] cihuatlatoani 2015-02-14 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
No, it is not. Besides, my family name is that of a bird. I cannot let my clan down.
cihuatlatoani: (Smile1)

[personal profile] cihuatlatoani 2015-02-14 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
I believe this is meant to be an easy going sort of game. I doubt we shall have to face any arduous ordeals, though we should stay on our guard in any case.
dirtydoll: (Is there something in the wind)

[personal profile] dirtydoll 2015-02-14 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Your name from...before?
dirtydoll: (It feels like cold blue ice in her heart)

[personal profile] dirtydoll 2015-02-14 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think the tasks are going to get much harder? I don't think I've been in a game with this Echo before.
debate_avenger: (I can't explain.)

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2015-02-14 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose that's true. But at the same time, the first round is probably going to turn people into animals.
debate_avenger: (I can't explain.)

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2015-02-14 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
As far as I know, the Queen's ban on dangerous games is holding, but I'd like to not depend on it. As for this echo... I've had some bad experiences with her in the past. I believe her stance was that "punishments for the losers make thing more fun"?

That's probably why people are being forced to do the other option if they lose.
dirtydoll: (I have been here many times before)

[personal profile] dirtydoll 2015-02-14 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[haha ban on dangerous games hahahahaha heart games]

So it could end badly if we go against the others...

Still, for this round it should be fine either way. We should stick with our answer.
cihuatlatoani: (Smile1)

[personal profile] cihuatlatoani 2015-02-14 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. It is Quetzalhuitzil.
cihuatlatoani: (Smile2)

[personal profile] cihuatlatoani 2015-02-14 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
I would not mind being a bird, for a short period of time.
debate_avenger: (Default)

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2015-02-14 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[That doesn't count, that was done by the mysterious individual who's got more control than the queen. And also Diz doesn't know the details about that.]

Yeah, it should be fine. Of course, if we're wrong, we're going to be four-legged mammals for the rest of the game.
debate_avenger: (I can't explain.)

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2015-02-14 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Judging by the rules, if we vote for birds and lose, we'd be turning into four-legged mammals instead. Basically if we lose, we have to do whatever we chose not to.
cihuatlatoani: (Smile2)

[personal profile] cihuatlatoani 2015-02-14 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She laughs lightly.]

So it is. Still, I would not mind such a transformation, if it were brief.

dirtydoll: (And I know)

[personal profile] dirtydoll 2015-02-14 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Quetzal...huitzil...

[What a mouthful. Sounding it out as carefully as she can, trying to get the pronunciation right.]

And...it means 'bird'?
cihuatlatoani: (Neutral2)

[personal profile] cihuatlatoani 2015-02-14 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[It is pronounced Ket-sal-WEE-tseel!]

A variety of hummingbird, with lovely plumage.
debate_avenger: (My plans are already in motion)

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2015-02-14 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
True, there's definitely been worse options thrown at us in the past... Well, we'll see how long the transformation lasts if we lose.
dirtydoll: (One day hell will catch up with me)

[personal profile] dirtydoll 2015-02-14 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
I see...

It's...very elegant. It suits you.
debate_avenger: (My plans are already in motion)

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2015-02-14 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Now then, round 2... Either way we have to kiss something, the question is whether we would rather kiss an octopus or a zombie.

I don't think this is a difficult decision, really -- one's rotting and possibly infectious, and the other isn't.
dirtydoll: (I'm not a stranger; no I am yours)

[personal profile] dirtydoll 2015-02-14 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[war heart game flashbacks]

I abstain.
cihuatlatoani: (Surprise)

[personal profile] cihuatlatoani 2015-02-14 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
...This is quite the conundrum.

Nonetheless, I believe zombies are not supposed to rot.
debate_avenger: (I can't explain.)

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2015-02-14 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
It varies depending on the type of zombie, and whether they're actually properly treated. For the most part, zombies tend to not be treated properly, though.

The more worrisome thing is that most modern zombies can turn people into zombies via contact.
debate_avenger: (I can't explain.)

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2015-02-14 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's not like the entire team will have to do it, so it's probably fine. I'll handle it if need be.
