DRAMA

[principals]

[You step into a small room, reasonably comfortable room with plenty of chairs for you to sit on, and the door promptly locks behind you. Everything is decorated in your team colors, with splashes of neutral cream.]

On one wall is a huge, laminated poster bearing your instructions. On the lone table in the middle of the room, you find a tall glass cylinder labelled "Bank"; it contains 15 small orbs in your team color. You also find: four buttons (Hand, Shield, Lunch, Kit) that you can press should you wish to make a purchase; the six cards that are to be your starting hand; and five card-shaped, team-colored slots. Your team color is notably missing.

Everything is utterly indestructible, no matter what you try to do.]

Slow kill, huh?

Re: DISCUSSION

[carptricks]

As opposed to a fast one. Clearly.

Re: DISCUSSION

I think everyone failed t'mention how fucked these games were.

[Wryly]

We might've been holding out hope that they wouldn't be. For once.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lionrogue]

Hope only gets ya so far.

Re: DISCUSSION

[carptricks]

In this case it got us about two feet before it fizzled and died out, leaving only this game in its ashes.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lionrogue]

Maybe next time ya won't make that mistake.

Let's. Not play those higher cards. At all.

Giant spider doesn't seem too bad. Better than losin' an eye and more points, too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

We don't know just how giant or how poisonous the spider could be. I'd really ... really rather not.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lionrogue]

How d'ya know the teams that don't have yer friends on 'em are gonna play nice, too?

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

There's only one. History.

We can play a card on them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lionrogue]

A high one?

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

Nothing higher than one of the fives.

The question is, which of the fives?

Re: DISCUSSION

[lionrogue]

If yer about playin' nice, bein' a kid's better than bein' beat.

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

The thing is ... [ she hesitates for a moment. ]

Being beaten is awful, but being turned into a child here would be just as bad in a different way. They'd be defenceless, and it could be permanent. At least, that's what I think.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lionrogue]

You think I'm defenceless?

Re: DISCUSSION

[clocksandroses]

I know that you're not, Sette-san.

But other people might not have your resourcefulness or strength.
