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.]

[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.

Is it that attempt to cancel out our own attacks?

No. We could play six attacks against ourselves, and use our negates to block those out. If the other teams play one negate against every other team, we could use up five of the remaining on them, and use the last one against us again.

... Are you an idiot?

No.

So in the end it's down to guessing.

... Guessing... what?

Who's going to attack us so we can defend ourselves.

[:/]

It was always going to be a guessing game, anyway, if you look at it like that.

Not if we knew who hated us.

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.

We don't play like that.

...

What?

Suspecting others.

It's not 'suspicion', it's an inevitability.
