Amalthea

[ When the game starts, there's very little fanfare - the wood opens up into a pit beneath you, and you fall into a disused room.

It's an old, dusty room, gloomily lit through a narrow window. There's not much else in it besides you.

Just a single pen and and a single sheet of paper. ]

ETA: [ By the way, if you try to climb out the window and escape: While the window is open and you can escape, outside is snow and empty trees. The water is murky and around four feet high. No matter how far you look, how far you wander, there’s nothing but trees and trees and…

Disturbing ripples in the water, if you venture too far or splash too long. Some things get more hungry during winter. That, of course, is if you don’t freeze to death first in ice cold waters. ]

Is this some kind of sick joke?

Unfortunately I'm doubtin' it is...

No.

[ sigh. ] The look on everyone's faces outside... this isn't a joke.

I won't let anyone hurt you.

Then... what do we do?

No.

Biiiig big problem...

[There's a nod and hard swallow]

How the heck were these sacrifices even chosen, though?

[He'd rather be the sacrificial lamb (Haha get it? Too soon?) so no one else has to deal with this shit]

Or anyone else...

[ Except how? ]

To protect Celestial, whatever we can. So that means we've gotta pick someone, or we're sitting ducks.

Good question.

[personal profile] circumstellar 2016-06-24 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Except this means someone else gets hurt. Either way, we're in a bind. Celestial is obviously our priority, but...

[ a sigh; ]

I know that. But can we trust that no one else will attack us to save their own? That no one thinks that we'll attack them?

[personal profile] circumstellar 2016-06-25 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
We can't - I don't even know who would attack Amalthea but that's the problem, isn't it. You have to pick someone. Why would anyone choose to let their teammate die when... when there's a chance?
limitstorm: (Default)

[personal profile] limitstorm 2016-06-25 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
There's no option to not attack, is there?

[personal profile] limitstorm 2016-06-25 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Who knows. I don't think we can tell them to rethink their decision, though. At least, I don't think they'd care.

[personal profile] circumstellar 2016-06-25 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
No-- it says we have to choose. And if we don't... it'll be decided at random.
limitstorm: (pic#10247920)

[personal profile] limitstorm 2016-06-25 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not leaving it to chance. No way.

If that's the case... We can't touch Barghest. Or Tiamat.

[He's making a bit of a face]

I think it should be up to Celestial in the end. She's the one put up there...

[And it only seems fair to her?]

[personal profile] anewboy 2016-06-25 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
It's still a buncha bullcrap...

[OOOOOOH DISNEY USING NOT DISNEY PERMITTED LANGUAAAAAAGE]

I doubt they'd care, either, but... Maybe it'd be worth a shot?
