DRAMA

[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.]

. . . sorry, sorry! It's funny. It's funny, y'know?

. . . why is it funny?

The lengths one goes to change for their teams--

[h-handwave, handwave]

Anyway. . . we can find a middle ground, yeah? Eye removal on History, the three-point card on Art.

[wow this is suddenly uncomfortable]

I didn't change until after Sabra.

. . . I told Nightingale I wouldn't play on Art.

[Both eyebrows fly up, but he doesn't ask]

. . . my teammate is on Art. A teammate from both Aather and the library.

. . . then why do you want to play on them?

. . .

I'm assuming everyone in this room wants to survive.

I would assume that, too. But that doesn't answer my question.

Because we only have three teams we can target this round. Since we weren't hit at all last round, it's pretty likely we'll get some heavy hits this one.

We're presumably wasting a card on Math, and we don't know for sure if our card on History will go through.

[and because games are not the time to let your personal biases get in the way of the most logical decisions right???]

[wow where are you from where personal biases don't matter]

. . .

I - promised I wouldn't play on them, and that was without knowing you have a former teammate there. I don't even know the girl I promised - but I said I wouldn't.

I'd rather get hit hard, than go back on my word, Kit.

Not former.

[preeeeetty firm about that. and personal biases just don't matter when you're protecting team!1]

. . . and that's fine. I'd rather not target them anyway-- I mean, I don't want-- Dragonfly is my--

[. . .]

. . . I'm just used to putting the team I'm playing with first, I guess.
