Tiamat

[soulping]

[ 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. ]

Rules;

[soulping]

Please read all the rules carefully.

The game runs from 7:30 pm to 9pm.

However! If all teams turn in before the end of the game, then the game will end early. Don’t rush, take your time to talk things out, there’s only one round.

This will be a game where you attack each other. Losers will lose their sacrifice.

Each team gets to attack one other team.

If you are not attacked at all, your sacrifice survives! Obviously.
If you attack someone, and they do not attack you, they die.
If someone attacks you, and you do not attack them, you die.
If you mutually attack someone - they attack you, and you attack them - the attacks are cancelled out and neither of you die.
If you attack yourself, you die.

Before the end of the game, you must choose. If you do not choose, roulette will be used for your attack.

Your methods of attack are:
Electrocution.
Burning.
Buried alive.
Drowning.

Turn in;

[soulping]

Team you’re attacking:
Attack: (electrocution/burning/buried alive/drowning)

[golden_dream]

...

[just, reading and staring, blank shock on her face]

[withmyownfists]

[ ....

oh god. it's suddenly dawning on her-- ]

We never told you about bad games, did we?

[golden_dream]

Um...

I think Caretaker sort of did... Ochre too?

... It's been a lot to remember.

[tatsumi_textiles]

There's usually a trick ta these.

[ His arms are crossed, and he looks pissed ]

Kaito'll figure it out, don't worry.

[golden_dream]

A trick?

[withmyownfists]

You can't be serious.

[ but of course she is. this echo is always deadly serious. ]

[golden_dream]

...

Why would we attack ourselves?

[withmyownfists]

It probably means we can't choose not to attack at all.

...

It... would be a way of avoiding deliberately hurting our friends, though.

[carptricks]

. . .

[despite everything, he seems almost eerily calm over here]

[tatsumi_textiles]

[ Ochre knows what he'd do, but- ]

It's yer call, Kaito.

[carptricks]

[hrrrrgh. there are so many moving pieces to this situation. there's a chance for a total victory, hanging in front of them like a glimmer of hope that's just out of reach, but. . .]

[rakes a hand through his hair and lets out a breath]

What teams d'you think are most likely to attack us?

[golden_dream]

Kaito, I know it's hard to listen to, but... it's okay.

We'll... we'll be lucky. I know we will.

[carptricks]

Ame. . .?

[blinks at her for a bit, before he ducks his head and lets out a wry chuckle]

No. That's not at all what I'm worried about right now.

[withmyownfists]

Kaito.

[ there's a whole lot more that she wants to say than just his name, but

it's just so much, where should she begin? ]

[carptricks]

[tilts his head towards her, and gosh he sure is keeping his expression carefully neutral]

Sabre.

Are there any teams you think are more likely to attack us than others?

[radioactivesharpei]

Uhhhh, dude, how are you staying so calm?

[Because he's barely able to stay calm]

This entire thing is bullshit and I want a reroll for the Echo that's running this.

DISCUSSION

[tatsumi_textiles]

If we gotta pick-

Ratatoskr.

[golden_dream]

Are they... bad?

Re: DISCUSSION

[withmyownfists]

Why Ratatoskr?

Re: DISCUSSION

[carptricks]

[MRRRRRRRGH. . . he's probably wet and cold and shivering from their trek into the snowy swamp. and while he is incredibly unhappy their attempts at going outside the box didn't work, he's also not terribly surprised]

[so he remains calm and keeps his disappointment under wraps]

. . . you really think they still might target us, with Knight not there?

Re: DISCUSSION

[radioactivesharpei]

I know literally no one on that team, I don't think. So sure...?
