TIAMAT

[soulping]

[You're wading in a low river, trying to advance as fast as you can--is the apparent setup, anyways. There's a table in the center of the room with a die to roll--and as you do so the world moves around you like some kind of VR deal. Everything looks, smells, and even sounds real… but it can't actually hurt you.]

[A monitor is lit up on the table. It reads: '24 spaces remain.']

ROUND 1

Re: ROUND 1

Huh.

Who's got actual luck and wants ta roll?

Re: ROUND 1

[ihatefishpanties]

[hi it's Aoko]

[he lifts a hand in a lazy, two-fingered wave]

Lady Luck and I do happen to be on good terms.

Re: ROUND 1

[tatsumi_textiles]

[Shrugs]

Sure thing, Aoko.

[He's eyeing that Tiamat colored attire, though.]

Pretty weird we got you this time, we usually don't get cats.

Re: ROUND 1

[ihatefishpanties]

Kaito.

[he corrects with a nod]

We've gotten to play with the Cats before, but as much as I hate to say it, tonight isn't one of those nights.

Re: ROUND 1

[tatsumi_textiles]

[jiiiiii]




What.

Re: ROUND 1

[ihatefishpanties]

Kaito! C'mon, don't you recognize the speaking style and mannerisms of your own teamate?

[he kids as he gives Ochre a playful punch in the arm]

It's a quest. Don't worry about it too much.

Re: ROUND 1

[tatsumi_textiles]

Manner-whats?

Fine, fine.

Just roll already.

[Amazing, the difference between how he treats Aoko and Kaito]

Re: ROUND 1

[ihatefishpanties]

[raises an eyebrow at him]

You okay, Ochre?

[but he does as directed and rolls a 4]

DICE ROLL

[ihatefishpanties]

[4 FOR TIAMAT]

Re: ROUND 1

[tatsumi_textiles]

[Crossing his arms in his yukata]

Just tired, 's all.

[He looks like he hasn't slept well the last few days.]

Re: ROUND 1

[ihatefishpanties]

[peering at him. he might be in Aoko's body right now, but he is still perceptive]

D'you need some berry tea when this game is over? It might help you get to sleep.

Re: ROUND 1

[tatsumi_textiles]

[Shaking his head]

Ed thinks the berries might be what's causing it.

[Since he's been using them for over a month, now.]

OBSTACLE: RIVER RAPIDS

[fangirlitis]

[20 spaces remain]

[What's a river without rapids? The water rushes faster in this part of the river, beating against rocks and swirling in a chaotic pattern of white rapids and swift currents. It ends a short distance ahead, but getting through it unscathed might be hard. Since you left your white water gear at home--what do you do?]

> Slow down and proceed carefully
> Try to rush through using the rapids as leverage
> Don't change your pace at all
> Run away
> Break into a killer guitar solo

[thoughtful hum]

Could be. If you become too reliant on 'em, it becomes difficult to sleep without 'em, too.

Re: Discuss

[tatsumi_textiles]

[Staring blankly at that last option]

...we even have guitars?

Re: Discuss

[ihatefishpanties]

. . .

We're definitely picking the killer guitar solo option.

Re: ROUND 1

[tatsumi_textiles]

Yeah, that's pretty much what he said.

Re: Discuss

[tatsumi_textiles]

You think?

Re: Discuss

[ihatefishpanties]

Heh, aren't you at least a little curious about what it'll do?

Re: Discuss

[withmyownfists]

We are!?

[ HI I'M HERE ]

Re: Discuss

[tatsumi_textiles]

I was guessin' nothing, but...

[He's staring at the option.

It's.

Pretty tempting.]

Re: Discuss

[withmyownfists]

Kaito, Katie was obviously drunk! We should pick something more useful, don't you think?

Re: Discuss

[tatsumi_textiles]

[HI HERE, I'M OCHRE]

I mean, 's as good a choice as any.
