[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.]

My, you are an interesting one.

Do tell me of this "other place".

I do not know much of it... only that there were more teams than there are here.

I was a member of a team called Teal... I remember being inside of a cave. [Adjusting her scarf!]

This came from that uniform... the rest was an amalgamation of belts and clothes with more belts.

There were other games, there... a teammate I know was eaten by a dragon, and apparently we were to choose one team and only one to protect in the game just before it.

I do not think I got along particularly well with at least one of my teammates... An antennaed lawyer. I remember us fighting over my refusal to invest in fickle, pointless things like emotion. [HARRUMPH.]

A cave! How crude.

[her disembodied voice definitely sounds like it's smiling.]

Oh, my dear, emotions are quite fascinating. They make things so amusingly complicated.

I suppose... but they are utterly pointless things to have if you want to win.

You must manipulate them, and not fall prey to their whimsy.
