AMALTHEA

[soulping]

You step into a simple, comfortable room with plenty of squishy armchairs to sit in. On a table nearby is a basket, containing: a small, plush doll version of the team member wearing the tiara, complete with its own tiara (and a rather fabulous dress); 5 plush toy cats in your team’s color; and 10 tea cup traps.

Most of the floor is taken up by a large grid.

Any items you manage to retrieve from your opponents will be in Vanara's color!

This is ... really all it is ...?

[ WHAT TRICKERY IS THIS ]

[forthemackerel]

[ picking up the Rook doll and looking at it ]

I guess so...

[ but it really does seem too easy, especially with the tension over Nyssa ]

[unguilded]

[ That doll's going to be my doom or something isn't it.

ALSO HE'S NOT IN A TUBE AT LEAST but that doesn't do too much to ease his panic about this because what is going to happen here ]

[justichthys]

[ Takes an uneasy step back, because. Stranger. And current sentiments towards Cats. ]

There's probably some kind of catch to it.

I don't think we should risk not guessing any squares, should we?

Re: DISCUSSION

[unguilded]

... right now it's a shot in the dark who we're playing against. So maybe ... we can guess at random and see what we get, if it tells us anything.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthemackerel]

That's probably the best course of action. Let's pick at random. Want me to do that?

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthemackerel]

[ this isn't the fun kind of wet with tea being involved

thanks for tainting his water like that, Nyssa.

Re: END RESULTS

[unguilded]

[ CHRIST ALL OF THIS SHIT RAINING DOWN ON US.

Rook coughs, waves a hand, clearly irritated by it all, but when he opens his mouth... ]

This feels great.
