[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.]

In my opinion, we're playing them all on ourselves anyway. With one reflector, we're guaranteed an average finish of zero. With the risk, we're either getting a final score of three extra defenses or negative six.

. . . My vote is to take the risk.

Re: Discussion

I agree. A neutral score just makes us lose when we're attacked. This way, we've got a chance.

If the others agree, let's do it.

Swan and Wren?

Swan's making a scene so we can have this discussion in the first place.

They'll both trust you enough to go with it, anyway.

They'll trust you, as well.
