Takshaka

[You enter a room made entirely of thick glass and patterned porcelain. Fluffy pillows and beanbags are scattered across the floor, providing plenty of comfortable places to sit, but they probably don't make up for what's on the ceiling (spears of jagged glass, steaming kettles of some boiling liquid), or the view through the floor (a long, long drop down into a pit, wherein weapons glint, sharp and business-ends pointed up towards you).

A round table stands in the middle of the room. Upon it stands six vases, each one the color of one team, and a scattering of gems in three different colors: obsidian, sapphire, and crystals.]

[12 obsidian, 6 sapphire, and 2 crystals on Takshaka]

Can we just ... not play.

"All of these must be played . . ."

[damn it]

There's... ten, right? We could divide them up, to be two for each team, if we have to play them. And then ... play six defense stones, so, one for each team, to halve that amount of damage, and one for us. That might be the way to the least amount of damage?

Twelve.

. . . I would rather not place any on the other teams, personally.

I don't want to hurt the other teams!

[ she is about to cry because oh my god she does not

want to throw anyone under the bus oh no ]

We don't have to.

R-Right.

[ taking deep breaths... ]

We could try to use six of our obsidian stones on ourselves, and use the sapphires to counter them so they're null...

[ but that leaves the other teams with being attacked at least once... ]

Or we could use the sapphire to counter the attacks we'd use against them.

Are you going to tell us what these "attacks" are?

[lol disembodied voice]

The attacks themselves are merely a tally.

I'd like it if this was another game like that stupid castle-building one. But that's unlikely, isn't it?

[scowling up, then down]

Perhaps I'll run another one of those later.

[well shit.]

Do any of us have any enemies?

I don't think so.

If we don't know our enemies, that means our reflections and defenses are just going to be guesswork.

It's all we have to go on.

I have an idea that could work, if we're lucky.

No.

So in the end it's down to guessing.

No.

Then our choices are to gamble or guarantee reduce a little damage but not enough if a lot of people decide we're safe to attack.
