CARDINAL

[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. . .]

[Current String Count: 11.

Team strings you have already cut: none]

. . . this . . .

Do you have anything you want to do or not do?

[ thi. . . nks . . . ]

I have a friend. . . on Copper Rose. And one on Celeste. But I must admit I have very few feelings for anyone else, besides those on Cardinal.

Okay...okay.

How about we cut two at a time?

Uhm. Lilac and Canary to start?

That sounds fine to me.

Okay...

If. If we don't make it through this. I'm sorry. Okay?

. . . why would you be sorry?

Lilac and Canary get the snip.

[Current String Count: 9.

Team strings you have already cut: Canary. Lilac was cut but reconnected.]

Well, we sure just...lost two strings.

I was expecting worse actually.

This is a good sign. . .

This time ah....Saffron and Teal? They don't seem wobbly.

Yes. That sounds fair.

Okay...

[sighs deeply, then face in hands

ugh fuck this whole ordeal]

. . . you seem very stressed.

Saffron and Teal

[Four of your strings snap and flutter to the ground, and your platform begins to sway dangerously. . .

And then suddenly, the remaining five of your strings snap, and you plummet to the ground below. At least with the spikes down there, it's a quick (albeit painful) death]

[FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC--

FATALITY]

[ WELL.

. . . that is unpleasant what do you know ]
