TIAMAT

[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 ...

[Looking over the cards and the rules... and breathing out slowly]

Okay guys. I'll get right to the point. Red Yaksinis ran that really bad game a while ago, where she made people beg to revive you guys. Clover was there, she can attest to it being bad.

Long and short of it, I wouldn't put it past Nyssa to try and one-up her by doing something similar this time. If possible, we should avoid anything that might kill someone. We also should avoid anything that might kill one of them outside of a game, since we don't know what would happen then--there's no precedent.

Finally, I think we forget the lotto, and make sure to stay out of the negatives. That's what keeps us safe... as safe as we can be, anyways.

That's my read of the situation, anyways. A-at the end of the day, I can't force anyone to do anything.

[Decision (mostly) made, Ochre's going to sit in the corner and try to remember how to knit.

It mostly just looks like he's making random jabbing motions with his needles and swearing to himself.]

Re: END

It worked out... [Though Gulgallana attacked us back. :/a]

I'm going to figure out how to spend these. The healing, at least, we can probably do after.
