VANARA

[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 ...

[on one hand, we're in debt. on the other hand, we have plenty of nice cards this time.

END

[soulping]

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

You don't have any crystals.

BANK: -7

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 slams locks behind you.]

What a sad, sorry state of affairs, dearest ones! I'm afraid that you're in debt by seven crystals. Now, I have but one question for you:

Would you prefer to pay off your debt in blood, right here today? Or ... [You can hear the slow smile in her voice] ... Accept a penalty for a later date?

((OOC: You guys have two choices! The whole team must decide on one together. The first option is a trauma-grab bag: the team will be presented with a selection of MYSTERY VIALS, each filled with an unidentified poison. They are unbreakable, and cannot be poured out. They can only be drunk.

The other is a Special Surprise option which will affect them (and only them) during Nyssa's next game.

If you choose to play vial roulette, they are as follows:
1. Slow death: messily coughing up blood everywhere
2. Slow death: drowning without water
3. Average death: boiling blood
4. Quick death: cardiac arrest
5. Limb loss: a body part withers, becomes brittle, and falls away
6. Hallucination: constant waking hallucination of one or two major fears, lingers for two IC days
7: Vision: eyes melt. literally.
8: Sense loss: complete loss of a sense for three IC days. cannot be fixed by quest until after this time.
9: Devil's Advocate: you really, really love Nyssa for two IC days. really love her -- can't stand to hear a word against her! again, cannot be fixed by quest until after a full three IC days have elapsed.
10. MYSTERY VIAL. Some other punishment that you wanna play with, but isn't listed here? Suggest something, and I'll let you know if you can do it.

If you go for the vials, they're not first come first serve! There's enough of each one that you could all take the same thing. Also, please note: Nyssa will not revive any of you unless the other teams pay for it! Keep this in mind when making your choice.

The door will only open when you've made your choice, and/or picked and drunk your poison. You can make your own top comment in the endgame mingle ♥))

[Chimera was hoping to not die horribly, but once he downs the contents of one of those vials, it seems like he won't be getting his wish. After a second, he starts... covering his mouth and coughing.]
