AMALTHEA

[soulping]

[ Upon stepping through the archway, you find yourself deep within a green forest, surrounded by trees, undergrowth, and the chittering skittering noises of small animals and insects. Behind you and around you, the trees and other vegetation close in on themselves; before you, a narrow but clear path beckons strongly. ]

[ Your normal skills are off, but you gain Basic Outdoorsmanship. ]

[I AM NOT LETTING YOU DIE, BRO.]

Then we have a plan. Let us have a swift, decisive victory.

[codecmoment]

So... are we going in there now?

[ Points at the trees, and just starts... walking as he points. ]

[goodbyenurse]

[Follows along.]

That seems to be the plan.

Oh. I spoke with Sparrow, by the by.

[codecmoment]

Huh? About what?

[goodbyenurse]

Games.

Well... more specifically I believe she was attempting to understand me.

[codecmoment]

Sparrow is a very gentle girl. I hope it went well.

[goodbyenurse]

...I think you would like the result, anyways.

[codecmoment]

[ Tilts his head slightly. ]

Are you getting along better with Takshaka?

[goodbyenurse]

I am getting along with Sparrow.

I do not think that Takshaka is capable of understanding me, but she at least has my trust.

[codecmoment]

Okay, well, that's something. She's a good friend - she'll look out for you.

[goodbyenurse]

All of Takshaka will, supposedly.

More to the point, I have opted to work with her proposed coalition to minimize casualties in the games.

[codecmoment]

[ Eyebrows shoot right up in surprise. ]

Wait, what? You're joining the "stop killing people" cause?

--that sounded weird, I'm just glad. We could all benefit from how smart you are.

[goodbyenurse]

...Based upon what I know of my teammates, they would likely want to work to ensure everyone survives. Transitively, this means they would not want to live if it was built on the death of another.

Ergo... [Shrug.]

It is irksome, but I cannot fault this line of logic.
