[ You find yourself in a section of the maze walled off by hedges sporting glowing green flowers. Several tree stumps with rich velvet cushions on them surround a much larger stump, upon which lie a number of cards... ]

[ There are now fifteen cards upon the table--the same as before, minus the last one you chose. You get the feeling you'll need to proceed just as you did in the last round. ]

[So lightheaded, how do without air.]

[EVERYTHING SUCKS.]

[He's not much for talking anymore, he's not sure what Eren just went through but it looks worse than what he had to deal with.]

[He looks at the cards and starts making his way towards them.]

[Nope. He's still collapsed by the table and has decided to FUCK ALL THIS, HE WANTS IT DONE.]

[NO TIME TO RECOVER FROM FACE BURNING, HUH.

nope.

watches what the others are doing for a moment here.]

[ Who picks, and which card? ]

[CONTINUING THE TREND OF RANDOM GRAB]

[Arim selected the Strength Card]

[ As soon as you lift the card, it feels as if a pair of leashes has slipped from your hand. What leashes? You weren't holding any leashes. Except suddenly it seems like you were, and now you've lost control of the wild beasts they were attached to. And just what are those beasts doing now that they have free rein? Why, they're wildly savaging your companions here in this game, of course. Blood and gore flies everywhere, and the air is filled with sounds of clawing and gnawing--and perhaps some shrieks of pain as well. At least, that's what you can't help but feel, even if none of this is real. ]

[You know, I WOULD actually try to help somehow, except I really can't breathe or move anymore and while I am kind of fond of them in my own way....]

[Really fond in my own way is I'm not inclined to kill them and maybe help them if I was capable, but I'm not, so....]

[ How long do you tolerate the effect of the card, up to a maximum of thirty minutes? ]

[I am sociopathing it up and just staying slumped against this table and wanting to be able to breathe, kthnx.]

[Full thirty.]

...I guess it's not that bad. He's taking it well.

... Was it one of the better cards?

[There is so much pretty, pretty red]

Strength, I think. I guess we'll have to ask him in a half hour.

[ After thirty minutes, the card dissolves into ash, and how fun! With some more hideous crunching noises, your bodies start to mend themselves about halfway, and the shape on the table empties out of about half its little wands, down to being a tenth full! ...once again, for all of two or three seconds, until the shape fills back up to twenty percent. Your ribs crackle ominously, and then sure enough, several of them also become little wooden wands planted shakily in your chest. They sag alarmingly, no longer able to properly fuse together to protect your lungs and heart. ]

[Grrrrrrk]

Don't... make sudden movements. [COUGH COUGH]

[Yeah, I'm staying on the ground.]
