BYZANTIUM

[teamposts]

[You find yourself standing on a wooden platform suspended from the ceiling of a stone dungeon lit by many torches. The platform is held up by 11 woolen threads in your color, and it sways precariously with every movement you make. It doesn’t seem very sturdy at all. . . though in addition to those 11 strings, there are 11 more attached to the side of the platform, one in each other team color. They’re within easy reach.

If you peer over the edge of your platform, you’ll be able to see the floor of the dungeon, though it might not necessarily give you comfort. Dozens of iron, pointy spikes are embedded into the ground, the sharp ends facing up. If you fall, it won’t be a pleasant trip down.

You can also see the other teams suspended on similar platforms around you. They’re far enough away that they probably can’t hear you talking on your own platform, but if you yell, you might be able to communicate. . .]

Yes. Teal is not an option.

[chastitybeltisland]

Certainly.

[looks blank but there is a slight anger to his voice]

If we are going to fucking set aside teams, it kind of impedes the whole fairness thing. My brothers are on Canary and Copper Rose. My closest friend is on Saffron. What you are suggesting is going to hurt our chances of protecting ourselves.

I'm. [he's struggling now because he is so torn between who to protect] Fuck. We can put aside a number of teams that are deemed untouchable. Just.

Don't make me choose which ones.

There's no excuse for harming our most important people when there are still plenty of other teams we don't have similar ties to.

We'll eliminate Saffron, Teal, Canary, and Copper Rose.

That still leaves us with seven teams to choose from, at random.

[hyanaimne]

Cardinal, Shell, and Celeste.

[chastitybeltisland]

If we must add to our pool later, we will work at that then.

[ouch Chrono he was already feeling messed up and you just shoved in his face how wrong his decision to throw people under the bus was. which he already knew but was willing to do for Byzantium...who apparently didn't want that?

so he's just going to turn away for now and think about what he's done...]

[Sorry coolson 8( WOULD ATTEMPT SOME MANNER OF CONSOLATION but... you know that's been going poorly for me lately just in general, so I'll just stay over here not talking to anyone...]
