OMETOTCHTLI

[soulping]

[When the game starts you find yourselves on a platform. At least this part is pretty relaxing as it's large enough to fit a table with six (or seven) chairs around and that may be the place you want to sit at for now. There's several pieces of parchment laying on the table and a box in the center.

Of course, if you were careful you might want to pay attention to what's before you. Because immediately after the platform is a slide that ends in a pit of water? That turns into a dark forest. In what looks like a mile across is another large platform, presumably the end. Though that's all you can see right now.]

QUESTIONS

[soulping]

There will be a slip of paper for each member of the team. On this one each member will need to answer three questions. You cannot converse about these answers among each other. Somehow, it also feels like you don't have long to answer these ones.
Can you trust those you're with?
Who is the person you dislike the most within your team?
What do you think makes up your team?

There also seems to be another slip of paper once those ones are finished. This one is for your team as whole to answer.
Who are your biggest competitors?
You can choose three of ten items. Choose wisely! The might be able to help you when the time comes:
a rope, a sword, a mirror, a paracute, a shield, a book, a grappling hook, a tent, a fruit, a torch (seemingly magically lighted)

OOC: As a note, all questions must be answered honestly! No matter what the will feel the compulsion to sa what's on their mind. The only ones this might really effect is the competitors question because all others will be unsaid to each other. Even if you look at someone else's paper you won't be able to see what they wrote!

Private Questions

[assimilation]

1. Yes. Of course. Why would I not?
2. No one. There is no one on my team I dislike. You are rude for asking me this.
3. We are not very good at winning, but we try our hardest. That is what I think.

Re: DISCUSSION

[assimilation]

What should we pick. . . what seems practical?

Re: SUBMIT

[horsefacing]

1. That sounds like a question to make us start wondering if we can trust each other. Screw you, that's manipulative, and I trust my teammates.
2. Another stupid question, I don't dislike anyone on my team.
3. That even in this fucked up place we stick together and don't let stuff get to us.

Re: DISCUSSION

[scratches his head]

He didn't really give us much to go on. . . might be good to have a weapon just in case. I'd rather have a gun than a sword. . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[horsefacing]

It's a pretty big group of items that we're only allowed to take a few of so I don't think anything is absolutely needed to win, but you're right that we should pick carefully.

[he frowns looking at the list more intently]

Re: SUBMIT

[trailofblood]

1. It's my team, of course I can trust them.
2. Try asking me that about the other teams.
3. Even if we get fucked over, we've got each other's backs.

Re: DISCUSSION

[assimilation]

So we could take a weapon, some light. . . and perhaps, something else? Or we could get rid of the light.

Re: DISCUSSION

[assimilation]

If we stay together. . . we should be fine, correct?

Re: DISCUSSION

[trailofblood]

We could use the torch as a weapon in a pinch too, so that's not a bad idea.

As for the last one. . . what's with most of this stuff, anyway.

Re: DISCUSSION

[assimilation]

Why would anyone bring a mirror down a slide...

[perspire]

1. Yeah, I trust them
2. There's no one I dislike.
3. People who try hard with what they have.

Re: DISCUSSION

[trailofblood]

Or some piece of fruit, or a book. . .

The rope or the grappling hook sound the most practical for gettin' over obstacles, at any rate.

Re: DISCUSSION

[perspire]

I don't know...

What sort of fruit would it be?

Re: DISCUSSION

[horsefacing]

You really think the fruit is important?

Re: DISCUSSION

[perspire]

Well, everything else is pretty obvious about what it is but a fruit?

Re: DISCUSSION

[horsefacing]

[looking up at her and lightening his expression a bit] I think so, but if they're offering us more help we should definitely take it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[horsefacing]

Huh, yeah you're right! That does seem suspicious compared to the rest of the list. You think that means it'll be useful?

Re: DISCUSSION

[perspire]

It's possible.

Re: DISCUSSION

[trailofblood]

Quart n' I were talkin' about bringin' the sword and the torch, just in case we need a weapon or two. You got any ideas?

Re: DISCUSSION

[horsefacing]

Liter and I think the fruit might be intentionally vague sounding to disguise it being useful.

I think at least one weapon or something that serves as one makes sense, but we should look over the list carefully before we go beyond that choice.

Re: DISCUSSION

[horsefacing]

[thinking about the list for a minute, and then...] Hey Liter, don't you think the book is the same way?

Re: DISCUSSION

[trailofblood]

Even if we do that, it's still just a list. The fruit could end up bein' surprisingly useful, or it could just be some fruit. It'd be a gamble.
