IRIS

[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. . .]

Fawn and Lilac

Fawn's string is cut, but it comes back together quickly. One of your string is also cut, but the protection you earned from the previous rounds repairs it immediately.]

[ lloooking at other teams ]

Things are more or less evenly matched. But given that we're among the teams who still have all their strings, it's likely we'll be hit harder this round.

We may play lightly again, or we may try to hit as many teams as possible of those we have no ties with.

I would say two strings, until it looks like we may be in danger.
