Ratatoskr

[The room you step into looks like it could be a miniature ballroom, complete with stained glass windows and vast, ornate mirrors.

Your team's column is set into one wall, easily accessible but as impregnable as ever. One of the mirrors may prove almost as interesting, if you can tear your eyes away from your trapped teammate. Through it, you are somehow able to see every other team's column and what is inside, though nothing beyond that.

The floor beneath your feet polished, patterned wood, inlaid with the pattern of a grand sundial in your team's colors. In the center of the pattern stands a pedestal, upon which sits a collection of colorful glass ornaments. It looks like there's room for other items, but there's nothing else to be found just yet . . . ]

[ mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ]

Given the circumstances I doubt it will do us any good to assume there may be a twenty-five percent ornament which would require something kinder.

They're probably all bad...

They are certainly all bad. I am uncertain if I am willing to risk that the tasks assigned by a thirty-three percent ornament would be an improvement worthy of the sacrifice.

We should save that for if things get real bad...

It should be his decision in the end.

I would like to make a point of mentioning that what I have told him applies to you as well.

[ eyes getting a little watery at that, but he looks away to hide it ]

Okay...

Ask why we got water anyway.

[ I FIGURED THAT WAS THE ANSWER

I JUST WASN'T SURE IF I SHOULD SAY IT ]

What course of action would you prefer? Our options are to choose a twenty-five percent ornament or a thirty-three percent ornament, and from there, we may perform the task, we may ask the being who controls this environment to perform the task and drop the temperature of the water you are in, or we may do nothing, and the water level shall rise to seventy-five percent, and you will certainly drown. Because you are the person at greatest risk, your opinion on the matter is to be considered most highly.

Don't hurt yourselves...try...try something small? Maybe? Uh.

I.

What's the clock, you think? You can't kill anyone with a clock, can you?

Or the feather thing? What are they gonna make you do, tickle each other?

I would prefer the feather as between the two it would more greatly improve your chances.

I do not know what any of the tasks are however I do not wish for you to feel responsible for a poor result because I have asked for your choice. Please keep in mind that no matter which object we choose it will demand something equally unpleasant. No matter who chooses or what is chosen each of us on Ratatoskr is entirely faultless.

...I know.

Gonna try one of the smaller ones?

I would prefer to choose another twenty-five percent ornament and take the task upon myself.

[ but I'm asking the turtle instead ]

You would, huh.

[ ... ]

Got a question for ya.

I am not opposed to answering a question.

He has suggested the clock and the feather, between the two of which I would prefer the feather. What are your thoughts?
