TAKSHAKA

[soulping]

[A thick mist descends, obscuring everything but a small area around you and your teammates. There's a sudden feeling of distance . . . and you find yourselves in a new patch of garden. Grass is thick and springy underfoot, but more noticeable is the picnic blanket, the picnic baskets filled with building supplies, and the toothpick skeleton of a large castle. Perched atop of it, waving merrily in the breeze, is a flag of your team's color and animal.]

You have 100 points to spend on parts. Choose wisely.

[Each picnic basket has a label tacked to the handle, indicating what each item costs.]

[Walls:
- Tea cosy walls (10 points)
- Teacup walls (20 points)
- Mirror walls (30 points)

Guards:
- Scone guards (10 points)
- Teapot guards (20 points)
- Clockwork guards (30 points)

Moats:
- Empty moat (10 points)
- Moat with mirror shards (20 points)
- Moat with hot tea (30 points)

Offense:

Catapults
- Crumpet catapult (10 points)
- Cuckoo catapult (20 points)
- Clock catapult (30 points)

Arrows
- Ladyfinger arrows (10 points)
- Rose arrows (20 points)
- Mirror shard arrows (30 points)

Spears
- Sunflower spears (10 points)
- Cocktail umbrella spears (20 points)
- Wine glass spears (30 points)]

[In addition to the labelled supplies, there are many more that come without a cost. Paints, squishy blocks that can be moulded as you please, finger foods, anything you'd find at a tea party, bits pieces of clocks (as well as whole ones), mouldable sheets of highly reflective glass, and a few rolls of fabric . . . You instinctively know that they'll add nothing to your offence or defence, but they're there to use as you see fit.]

We have enough without it.

It seems not everyone shares your noble attitude, Raven.

Re: Intermission

[takewing]

Naturally. There's more than one type of person in any world.

Re: Intermission

[swordedpast]

...?

Re: Intermission

What's with that confused face? Everybody is an individual. It stands to reason that everybody has different values and opinions.

Re: Intermission

[swordedpast]

It's nothing.

Re: Intermission

[takewing]

Hardly nothing.

What are you thinking?

Re: Intermission

[swordedpast]

"There's more than one type of person in any world," it just seemed like a strange thing to say.

Because it's so obvious, of course.

Re: Intermission

[takewing]

Liar.

Re: Intermission

[swordedpast]

Yeah, I'll lie if that's what it takes to accomplish our goals, but I don't see what that has to do with this conversation.

Re: Intermission

[takewing]

There being more than one type of person wasn't obvious to you at all.

Re: Intermission

[swordedpast]

Does it need to be? It's fine if you're the one who makes clever observations like that, and I simply do the fighting and the cooking. I think that'd be fine.

Re: Intermission

Ow!

Re: Intermission

[takewing]

Try to have a little more self-worth, man!

Re: Intermission

[swordedpast]

I don't understand...

Re: Intermission

[takewing]

'Only fighting, only cooking' and 'Takshaka's success is the most important thing'.

Do you not see your own importance?

[amongst many, many other things]

Re: Intermission

[swordedpast]

...jeez. You really are a detective.

[as if it takes super skills of observation to see his issues]
