DAWON

[soulping]

You step into a small airy room made entirely of porcelain and frosted glass. Squishy armchairs — the old fashioned type; pretty velvet affairs with patterns of roses in your team’s color and legs of dark wood — line the walls.

Pride of place in the center of the room is a table, upon which rests: a list of instructions; a spread of cards; and a box made out of mirrored glass with eleven slits in the top. Each slit is outlined in a team color.

Beyond the table is a huge, floor to ceiling hourglass. A certain number of blood red crystals reside at the bottom ...

They've only gone up in intensity.

Maybe we should use some of these cards on her, and see how she likes having raptors in her dorm! Or to be slowly killed!

Re: DISCUSSION

[rivalnova]

Ah....I wanted to say to all of you. One of those deaths was done by another team. People are playing the killing cards.

[You come back into your room to find that your hands are empty and your crystals (if you have any) are spread across the table.

BANK: 5

Also present is a list:

- Revival: 20 crystals
- Lost Limbs: 15 crystals
- Eyes and Minor Body Parts: 10 crystals
- Reaging: 5 crystals
- Save a Cat: 5 crystals
- Lost Memories and Relationships: 5 crystals

The door remains open behind you.]

Re: END

[rivalnova]

Ah-- lost memories and relationships....that's what me and Lace had, I think. But we don't have enough crystals to pay for both.

Re: END

[showyouthesight]

[ He pretty much looks thoroughly done at this point. ]

... why do the Cats need to be saved?

Re: END

[footwork]

[ also looks super done, and yet he hesitates before speaking up ]

I think we should give our crystals to another team that got hit worse... I'll quest for you and Lace, or help, whatever-- or save a Cat, whatever that means.

Re: END

[showyouthesight]

... Vanara's door didn't open.

But... I haven't had the chance to check on our allies either...

Re: END

[rivalnova]

Mm. The Cats...

[ she frowns ]

I'm trying not to blame them, because Ed told me...one of them cried, when they couldn't complete their task. I think they might be in trouble.
