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 ...

You're a jerk.

[OOOOOOH, SHIT JUST GOT REAL]

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

I never claimed otherwise.

Re: DISCUSSION

[feytality]

Then be less of a jerk!

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

And how do you propose I do that?

Re: DISCUSSION

[feytality]

Would you even listen to me if I told you?

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

I listened to you before, didn't I?

[though he doubts he'll be very keen on other plays.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[feytality]

[softens, but]

Wasn't that just because you were tired of arguing?

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

I listened to you because I could see the past repeating itself.

Re: DISCUSSION

[feytality]

What, us arguing?

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

No. Never mind.

[he doesn't really want to explain what happened in the library's GM game. now's not the time.

preferably it will never be the time.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[feytality]

[You're not getting off that easily!!!]

Then what? What past?!

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

I already told you in the first round.

Re: DISCUSSION

[feytality]

...Are you talking about the library?

[she's not the only one here who likes to change the subject.]

We'll play the five point card, and buy the shield. We'll see where we stand after that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[DENIED]

I thought you were the one who wanted to play lower!

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

Yes, and I was outvoted, and we played otherwise. That's not what happened here.

Re: DISCUSSION

[feytality]

So what does that have to do with history repeating itself?!

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

[pointedly:]

Nothing, because I listened to you.

Re: DISCUSSION

[feytality]

---Then what happened then?

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

It isn't important. We're doing well here. We can keep it up.

Re: DISCUSSION

[feytality]

It is important! Tell me!

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

I am not talking about that game. It's done with, and holds little relevance to our situation now.

Re: DISCUSSION

[feytality]

[calling bullshit tbh]

You've been using that game to make all of your decisions! You kept saying we had to do all these things so it wouldn't turn out like it did then!

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

No, Maya.
