COPPER ROSE

[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. . .]

Certainly not because you felt slighted or hurt in anyway, I'm sure.

Iris, as well.

Iris? I did not know you were capable of a grudge.

Re: Discussion

[revelatory]

It's not a grudge. She stated she would do something, so it's worth seeing if she's a woman who will carry that through.

Re: Discussion

[adisaster]

[hmm]

Should we only cut one string this round, then...? Or three?

Re: Discussion

[revelatory]

That I don't have an opinion on. If 'aggressive play' was the goal, three would be better, obviously. I suppose also, if 'self preservation' was as well.

[IGNORING THE DUDES WELLING]

Well, I would prefer not to die.

Re: Discussion

[revelatory]

Perhaps we should just cut one then . . .

Re: Discussion

[adisaster]

Then Celeste, to start.

Re: Discussion

[revelatory]

. . .

Re: Discussion

[...

wait]

As well as Iris's and another team.

[ you're stupid it's almost endearing if i found things endearing ]

Ah. You figured it out.

Re: Discussion

[:I]

Celeste, Iris. What other team?

Re: Discussion

[revelatory]

Teal?

Re: Discussion

[adisaster]

[hmm]

That is fine with me.

Re: Discussion

[revelatory]

. . . they will want to cut fewer.

[ our team... ]

Re: Discussion

[adisaster]

Why...

Re: Discussion

[revelatory]

It increases the chance that they will be responsible for someone's death, I would guess. Perhaps you should tell them you and . . . that [ little lion . . . ] wish very much to stay alive to convince them to cut more than two.

Re: Discussion

[adisaster]

I am doing that with Ishtar, yes.

Re: Discussion

[revelatory]

[ nods in acknowledgment.

IM NOT GONNA TRY TO PERSUADE ANYONE I THINK THEY'LL THINK IM DOING IT FOR THE WRONG REASONS . . . ]

[AND THEN LITTLE LION FREAKED OUT FUCK]

Re: Discussion

[ . . . t. . . turns away from you guys.

but maybe still looking out of the corner of his eye. ]

Re: Discussion

[adisaster]

[ffffffffffffffuck]

Re: Discussion

[revelatory]

[ ok after a bit

got it under control ]

You seem to have upset him.

Re: Discussion

[adisaster]

[ugh :I]

Kit -- is a friend of his, on Iris.

Re: Discussion

[revelatory]

If you wanted to stay in his favor you probably shouldn't have contributed to a friend of his possibly dying.
