AMALTHEA

[The room you step into looks like it could be a miniature ballroom, complete with stained glass windows and vast, ornate mirrors.

Your team's column is set into one wall, easily accessible but as impregnable as ever. One of the mirrors may prove almost as interesting, if you can tear your eyes away from your trapped teammate. Through it, you are somehow able to see every other team's column and what is inside, though nothing beyond that.

The floor beneath your feet polished, patterned wood, inlaid with the pattern of a grand sundial in your team's colors. In the center of the pattern stands a pedestal, upon which sits a collection of colorful glass ornaments. It looks like there's room for other items, but there's nothing else to be found just yet . . . ]

We could've turned it down! Then broken the glass bubble!

And kill someone else?

It's part of the game, isn't it? They're all fightin' to keep their teammates alive just as much as we are!

If given the chance, I bet the other teams would do the same thing!

I'm not killing anyone but that sick Echo!

I don't wanna kill anyone but her either, but I'll do whatever I have to do to keep you guys alive!

[DX noooo teammate don't die!1 watching him for signs of illness or weakness or whatever side effects come with this poison]

[well he's sure looking nauseous and kind of flushed thanks to the fever. Bracing on the pedestal casually . . .]

I'm not gonna die. I just gotta make it through this round.
