OMETOTCHTLI

[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.

We have enough to purchase the shield, at least.

As for cards, we can play the mattresses and the shoes.

[because we're not playing the others, guys :|]

Re: DISCUSSION

[lucciola]

I believe it's best to play low level cards now, yes.

And get the shield.

Re: DISCUSSION

[perspire]

It's jus a matter of picking which teams, really.

[...well now we have all terrible cards, fuck

Ampere already walked into the room looking pissed, so. They don't make it any better.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[thexfactor]

[ grimaces ]

All right. Those are our options and we better act quickly. We'll play the deage, relationship and . . . the limb card. Those seem the least painful right now. I'm more concerned with cancelling out potential attacks than anything else.

We can target Ratatoskr. Any other suggestions?
