RATATOSKR

[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!

They really want us to get along don't they. Aaah maybe I should have skipped this one.

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

It's not that hard, is it? Not like we gotta agree for the first couple, just the ones at the end.

Re: DISCUSSION

[glorifiedtrash]

It's just annoying. No game is going to bring us closer together. ...Well maybe 7 minutes in Heaven heheh ❤️. So what are our answers to the last two? Any ideas?

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Well, we have been in several games with Amalthea, both partnered and against. If we're talking rivals, they're probs as close as we got.

Re: DISCUSSION

[glorifiedtrash]

I don't even want to compete with them, but I think Belt might pout if we don't. Let's put Amalthea. Items?

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Nothing wrong with friendly rivals.

Hmmmm.....

Well, if we got either the parachute or a tent, we could use the canvas for a lot. Maybe even better to get the parachute, that'd have rope with it.

[I would totally cannibalize the items, yes.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[glorifiedtrash]

Parachute sounds good. I'm guessing we'll only get as much trouble as we seek so as much as it pains me to say it we could probably leave the sword. The mirror or the shield wouldn't be bad though.

[Guessing he wasn't allowed his sword for the game, but he will make do for the greater good!]

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Nods.] I like the shield. Then we could use it for other things than just blocking without it breaking.

Re: DISCUSSION

[glorifiedtrash]

We can trade so... For the third item what do we think is the most likely to get overlooked by the others?

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[THINKING.]

...the book.

Re: DISCUSSION

[glorifiedtrash]

All right then let's do the parachute, the shield and the book with Amalthea as our competitors. ...And this might be a little up characteristic of me, but let's see if we can't show them up, hm?

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Grins.] Nothing wrong with a little friendly competition~

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

1. yes
i may not trust them fully yet
but i know they can be trusted
i just need to get over my own issues to do that
most people without my issues would have no problem trusting them
i trust zelos the most tho

2. at this point?
i think myself

3. a lot of people who dont know how to be upfront
either people are hiding things
ignoring things
or just close ourselves off
theres a lot of kindness tho
were not straight forward
or the most honest
everyone ultimately wants to try and do the good thing
even if they cant admit it to themselves
their actions speak louder than their words

Re: SUBMIT

[glorifiedtrash]

Personal-

1- Yes, in games, with my life, I can trust Roxy. Anything else not so much. A game like this is never going to help us you know.

2- Myself.

3- Personal issues. Probably a need for love and self-acceptance.

Team-

1- Amalthea

2- Parachute, shield and book

Re: DISCUSSION

[quackery]

These aren't very nice questions...

Re: SUBMIT

[quackery]

1. Yes, I think so.

2. Nobody, really. Can I pick me?

3. Most of us are really kind and supportive. That's how they've always seemed to me, at least.

Re: DISCUSSION

[quackery]

It isn't that bad, is it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Oh, Sapphire!

Eh, they're not so bad. We already decided on the last two stuff though.

Re: DISCUSSION

[quackery]

That's fine. You guys have been a part of the team longer, so you would've known more about competitors, anyways.

ROUND ONE

[soulping]

You will find on your table the three items you've chosen as well as a bracelet. The papers have disappered as have the chairs. Once you pick up the items the table, too, will disappear leaving just your team and the slide before you.
Pressing the button will allow you to effectively "pause" the course. This can only be used to go back to the main field and talk to other teams. It can work for one member or all of your teammates. You can easily leave and return with this method. Talking to other teams will not give you a penalty if you choose to use this. (This can also account for members of the team coming and going with player availability)

You can also quit at any time! If you wish to quit all you have to say is Osmar's name and it will end the game for you. Asking to quit will not penalize you, but if you end early that means your out of at leas one win type.
For now, you can just slide down. There's nothing more to do here.

But once you're in the water it seems to be wider than you thought! It gets deeper quickly, too, and the torrent is rough. You're fine in the shallow end, but maybe you should find another way across?

To the left is a small cliff. It doesn't look bad to climb up and maybe it will give you a better idea of if you want to go into the river or not.

To the right is what seems to be an empty part of the field. A few steps in will show that there's patches of mud where you seem to sink. Not quite quick-sand, but you might want to take a moment to consider your options.

Or you can just go forward. You won't drown, but you might end up way more off course than you thought.

[When you submit please answer with which way you go and a method you choose to use against this part of the course!]

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

True enough.

[By the way, she's just...draping on you.]

[Huuuuuug for you.]

Got a parachute, a shield, and a book for our items too.
