[ You find yourself in a section of the maze walled off by hedges sporting glowing teal flowers. Several tree stumps with rich velvet cushions on them surround a much larger stump, upon which lie a number of cards... ]
[ Your companions betrayed you--that's the thought that comes to mind when you take hold of the card. Phantom pain radiates from where they stabbed you in the back (although they didn't really) or tightened the noose about your neck (although they never did). You can trust no one, but it's too late: you've already chosen wrong by believing in your friends and teammates in the first place. Now you're about to die because of your naive faith in others. ]
[There's just enough doubt as the thoughts flicker into his mind, his eyes quickly darting over the others and settling on Lion before the pain around his neck tightens considerably.
Congrats, Technic is dropping the card in favor of choking for air.]
[hovers for a moment, torn; on the one hand, it's unlikely he's actually choking and will die, but on the other hand, letting him roll around choking for half an hour while others are watching doesn't seem like a great idea either...]
[backs off, and clumsily swipes the card towards Technic - it takes a couple tries to get it close enough for him to reach, since wings are not cooperating.]
[At least you are not judging me from down there.]
[...will make an attempt to adjust him into a position where his cup transformation is unlikely to cause more harm than likely to result from well, turning into a cup.]

[Sorry, an arm's flailing when Tart gets too close. Not to hit, just to keep him at a distance.]
W -- where's the card---
Re: CHOICE
Re: CHOICE
[Yeah screw this pain going to go over holy shit]
Re: CHOICE
Don't---
[It's sharp and all he can manage. Breathing is hard. :(]
Re: CHOICE
J-Just -- hang on.
[...And if it looks like this is getting really bad he might take matters into his own hands.]
Re: CHOICE
[Usually you help them stop choking, but since he isn't choking on anything visible... sorry, man.
He's already getting shaky, blood rushing to his face and sounds growing a little more frantic.]
Re: CHOICE
He's going to try tearing the card up, though that. That isn't going to work.]
Shit!
Re: CHOICE
Technic?
Re: CHOICE
Also maybe a little dizzy because I am still choking.]
Re: CHOICE
We can tear the card if it's too much.
Re: CHOICE
[Maybe it is your fault. '-' Maybe it is all of your faults. '-'
The maybes are heavy and difficult and just as plausible in the moment as they are ridiculous, fueling the bite in his response.]
No, don't --- don't touch it---
[Not that this is helping him. The worse are out of his mouth, and the noose gets tighter. G-gagging a lot.]
Re: CHOICE
Are you certain...?
fuck that typo in my last tag aughhhhh
He doesn't want to die but what if he keeps it away what if someone else tearing it would just make it worse what if
What if his eyes just roll back into his head as he crumples, cause that's a thing that's happening instead.]
it seemed vaguely appropriate
[so you're probably going to be crashing onto the floor. sorry 'bout that, bro.]
okay good
no subject
