[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.]

[...]

All of us?

[infiniteregress]

"You" are a team.

[acemedium]

It can't be one person?

[infiniteregress]

Certainly not!

[acemedium]

Can't people leave?

[infiniteregress]

What do you think, my dear?

[acemedium]

I don't know what to think. Why do you keep playing these games?

[.....] Can we make a deal?

[infiniteregress]

No deals today, I'm afraid.

[acemedium]

Why not?!

[infiniteregress]

I am a busy woman, my dear!

[acemedium]

What does that have to do with it?

[infiniteregress]

Busy women do not have time to make deals in the middle of games.

[acemedium]

[Hmph]

You didn't answer my other question.

[infiniteregress]

Some things you must discover for yourself.

[acemedium]

And how exactly am I supposed to 'discover' your reasons for doing this?

[infiniteregress]

How indeed.

[Coco doesn't want me to be mean to you so I'm going to stand here and puff my cheeks and glare at you instead]
