Tiamat

[soulping]

[ Suddenly you find yourself on top of a large, team-colored tower -- the ones in the center of the lake, to be precise. Inspecting closer you’ll find that the tower is actually made of removable blocks: large, brittle candy blocks.

Looking around you, all of the other teams’ towers are visible to you, in a circle around the wide lake. But although you can make out the number of blocks in each tower and which team they belong to, it is impossible to yell between towers. Huh.

On top of your platform is a set of three objects on a table, with a sign that says “Eat one and win!”: a Jawbreaker, some Peanut Brittle, and a small cup of Whipped Cream.

There are no handrails or edges, and if you peer over the side, you can see that your tower is standing in a lake made of jello. . . ]

ROUND 1

[soulping]

ITEMS:

JAWBREAKER: cause two random blocks to be shaken out of an enemy’s tower, and a 1 in 3 chance of them losing a random block the next turn (roll a 3 on a d3)
WHIPPED CREAM: become disoriented, losing the ability to decide what blocks you pick for one round. Effects stack if multiples are played on the same team; does not affect special attacks.
PEANUT BRITTLE: removes two blocks of your choosing from an enemy’s tower.

[. . . FOOD EVERYWHERE?]

[tatsumi_textiles]

So! Who're we hitting?

Re: Discussion

[fuhrinkaed]

[Looking at the candy...]

[And sighing and thinking.]

Re: Discussion

[fearfulofthe]

... um. Rats?

[sorry, Knight, but well.]

[tatsumi_textiles]

[He hadn't seen Knight hanging around earlier, but...]

Sounds good ta me.

Re: Discussion

[fearfulofthe]

[but why sighing in the face of candy?]

Ed?

[fearfulofthe]

If we take out one of the bottom sides, that'd destabilize them quicker.

Re: Discussion

[fuhrinkaed]

This is a game about balance. It's also a game about not getting hit by other teams.

I'm good at one of those two things.

Re: Discussion

[hyanaimne]

. . . the hell kind of game is this?

[also ew, candy]

[tatsumi_textiles]

If we used the peanut brittle ta take out the bottom left and middle, they'd be out already...

Re: Discussion

[fearfulofthe]

Well... then we'll just have to work on balance.

And I know getting shards back is important, but...

[there is jello, Ed]

Re: Discussion

[fearfulofthe]

[i will take your portion, then]

A light-hearted one, I think?

Re: Discussion

[tatsumi_textiles]

Well- I don't think we've pissed any of the other teams off since the last game.

[fearfulofthe]

Sounds like an idea.

Re: Discussion

[fuhrinkaed]

...Universes are at stake. We can have jello later.

[tatsumi_textiles]

Let's see what the others think.

Re: Discussion

[suzinkazan]

[She looks over the side.]

Unacceptable.

Unacceptable.

UNACCEPTABLE.

I am not falling in that.

Jawbreaker on another team this round.

Re: Discussion

[fuhrinkaed]

Well... At any rate, we should probably hold onto our items. Since we can see what the others are doing, it's more useful to do things when we can knock someone straight out.

Or, we can use the whipped cream on someone right off.

Re: Discussion

[fuhrinkaed]

...I'd say we should hold off on that until we see who everyone else is hitting, then use that on them.

For now, whipped cream is the best item.

Re: Discussion

[tatsumi_textiles]

[Wincing slightly at her shouts]

Comet'nd I were thinking the brittle, but that works too.

Re: Discussion

[fearfulofthe]

[can't I just have one game where I'm not overthinking everything and existential crisises aren't a thing?]

I just mean that we shouldn't be too upset about losing if we do lose.

Re: Discussion

[fuhrinkaed]

One about balance and not getting hit.

We got one of those down.
