[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.]

Is it that attempt to cancel out our own attacks?

Re: Discussion

[barrette]

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?

Re: Discussion

[barrette]

No. [ >:< ] I don't want to hurt any of the other teams!

Re: Discussion

[experiencepoints]

If you want to lose, then why not just dump all the attacks on us?

Re: Discussion

[barrette]

There's a difference between losing and and a draw, Nightingale.

Re: Discussion

[experiencepoints]

Not in this case. Even if we just break even, we're open to get hurt by everyone else.

... But...

Re: Discussion

[barrette]

But what?

Re: Discussion

[experiencepoints]

...

Do you trust me?

Re: Discussion

[barrette]

...Yes.

Re: Discussion

[experiencepoints]

I've got an idea, but if the one in charge can hear us, she might change the rules to block what I'm thinking. And even if she doesn't know, it's still a 50/50 shot, and if it doesn't work, we'll definitely lose.

Do you mind?

Re: Discussion

[barrette]

As long as the other teams won't suffer if it works.

Re: Discussion

[experiencepoints]

No matter the result, it won't affect anyone else.

Re: Discussion

[barrette]

Then I'm for it.

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

We don't have to win this game, though.

Re: Discussion

[experiencepoints]

Yes, we do.

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

No, we don't.

Re: Discussion

[experiencepoints]

You don't have to do anything. But you know, it's our worlds that we're saving here. We can't think about just us.

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

I don't want to kill people, or hurt people, just to save my world, though.

[because that's not what a hero would do]

Re: Discussion

[experiencepoints]

And you think that's possible?

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

I won't accept that it is impossible.

Re: Discussion

[experiencepoints]

Even though death is only minorly inconveniencing?

Re: Discussion

[pchaaair]

...

Except, it probably hurts a lot?

Re: Discussion

[takewing]

We don't have to play to win!

Re: Discussion

[experiencepoints]

Sorry, but I don't agree.
