TIAMAT

[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.]

Did you see that obstacle course? I bet it'll be easy!

Re: DISCUSSION

[awhiterose]

You're sure lookin' chipper.

Re: DISCUSSION

[carptricks]

It's an obstacle course! Aren't you excited?

Re: DISCUSSION

[awhiterose]

Lucky, unless the game is PUNCH THE ECHOES IN THE FACE, I am prooobably not gonna be excited.

Re: DISCUSSION

[carptricks]

[deeeflates a bit, and stops bouncing on his feet]

. . . that's fair.

Though I still think we should do our best.

Re: DISCUSSION

[awhiterose]

'course. We've got a whole bunch of other teams to beat.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fuhrinkaed]

Right, definitely!

But which of them is our biggest competition?

Re: DISCUSSION

[awhiterose]

All of them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fuhrinkaed]

...Can we do that?

A-and I mean like, we've only really competed directly against like, Barghest.

Re: DISCUSSION

[awhiterose]

Can't see why we shouldn't be able to! They're all standin' between us and our memories, whether they wanna or not.

Oh, and maybe we should say the Echoes are our competition, too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fuhrinkaed]

...But the echoes are our friends.

And I have a lot of friends on the other teams, too.

A-and we definitely don't compete with the echoes, we compete with each others! The echoes make the tracks! You can't compete with them, that's like saying a bike racer competes with the asphalt paving... guy!

Re: DISCUSSION

[awhiterose]

We compete with the Echoes to break their games whenever they try to murder us, and bein' in competition doesn't mean you can't be friends.

That just makes you weird.

Re: DISCUSSION

[carptricks]

You can be friends with someone and still compete against 'em, y'know.

[fuhrinkaed]

Y-yeah... that memory was a little...

[Nervous laughter and SUBJECT CHANGE]

Anyways, we should take a mirror. They tend to be magic.

[awhiterose]

[Makes a face.]

Rope. You always need rope.

[carptricks]

And a grappling hook.

[fuhrinkaed]

And a mirror!

[carptricks]

[elbows him lightly]

you said that already.

[fuhrinkaed]

Well yeah, but that's three items! So we've picked those!

[carptricks]

So now we've just gotta pick who our biggest competitors are.

[fuhrinkaed]

W-well we haven't really competed with anyone but Barghest, and they held back... and Ometotchtli weren't very good either...

[carptricks]

Technically we have. All games have winners and losers, right?

[fuhrinkaed]

I guess that's true...

[carptricks]

[grins]

I like Trick's idea. But I don't mind narrowing it down to one, either.
