TIAMAT

[soulping]

[The interior of your team cabin is far warmer than the winter outside. Each cabin is outfitted with enough beds for all present, and a table laden with food. Thick, juicy meats. Fatty broths. Congealed blood sausages. The sort of food that gets you through a harsh winter. The sort of food that makes you fat and tasty.]

[opens his mouth to say something, but then shuts it again with a tch. . .. letting the Echo play randomly isn't any better than voting themselves]

D'you have a better idea that isn't just "vote for another team?"

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[onebullet]

No, because there isn't any other option. We either vote or let the echo vote for us, but I'm not risking that random vote coming back to bite us.

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[carptricks]

[frustrated, raising his voice slightly]

So we let the Echo force us into hurting others because we're afraid of what the consequences are?

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[ Snapping back at him, though her voice has gotten quieter. ]

What would you suggest? We take the bullet ourselves? That won't break the game, Lucky, that'll just break us.

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[carptricks]

We don't have to take any bullets! The others broke that game when we first arrived, didn't they? There's a way to break this one, too!

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[onebullet]

Maybe you're right. Maybe there is a way to break the game. But I'm not risking our lives on a maybe.

You want to discuss alternate plans, fine. But save it for when we have time.

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[carptricks]

[reeeeally frustrated now]

Garnet, we'd never get anywhere if we never took chances on a 'maybe.'

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[onebullet]

So what's your plan?

[ Snaps her head up to glare at him, knuckles white between her knees. ]

Do you have one? I don't.

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[carptricks]

I don't know!

[-- seems to catch that he's practically yelling, and glances away from her, hands balled into fists at his sides. he's shaking ever so slightly]

I don't. . . I don't know, but I can't-- I can't--

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[onebullet]

Then I'll do it. I'll vote.

[ Stands stiffly, looking away herself. ]

A few more on my kill count won't change much.

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[carptricks]

Garnet, you're not the only one who's a part of this team. If you vote, then we all vote.

We don't have to do this!

[but what other choice did they have?]

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[onebullet]

If anyone questions you after this game, tell them it was my decision.

[ There's no point in arguing, is there? ]

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[carptricks]

. . . like hell I'm gonna try to deflect the blame off of myself like that! Garnet--

[IT'S PROBABLY TOO LATE TO STOP HER]

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[onebullet]

[ She's even gone out barefoot, she's in such a hurry to get this over with. :') ]

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[carptricks]

[stops to scoop up her shoes, before going after her]

Garnet!

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[onebullet]

[ Shouting over her shoulder, still marching on. ]

What?

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[carptricks]

Why the heck are you going out there without your shoes?

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[onebullet]

[ S-stops and looks down at her feet. ]

... ah, shit.

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[carptricks]

. . .

[stops just short of the cabin exit, and hides the shoes behind his back]

[CAN YOU VOTE WITHOUT SHOES?]

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[onebullet]

[ Hesitates...

Looks back at him a moment...

Then continues marching. ]

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[carptricks]

[. . . gdmit Garnet]

[GOING AFTER HER]

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[onebullet]

[ As soon as she hears him following she's going to book it like her life depends on voting.

Oh wait. ]

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[carptricks]

[asdofip breaking out into a run as well]

Oi! Oi!

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[onebullet]

[ Going full pelt immediately wasn't a good idea, plus he's probably faster than she is anyway. ]

Lucky go -- back!

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[carptricks]

[HE IS. but she had a good head start, so he probably manages to vote before he gets to her]

You don't have shoes, idiot!
