[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. . .]

Looks like no one else is here. Good to know.

[aliksirette]

Yeah, it's just us.

Dammit, Blue! Would've been nice if you weren't here too. Look at how dangerous this one is!

Cutting two strings — Celeste and Fawn

Round 1

[threadbared]

[Number of Strings: 10

Team threads you have cut: Celeste, Fawn

One of your strings is cut, but the protection you gained from the previous round repairs it immediately. Another one is cut and falls away, your platform swaying a little when it does]

Re: Round 1

[hotstud]

... So far so good.

I'd say we should get one thread that doesn't break, but we'll run out of threads to cut soon.

Re: Round 1

[aliksirette]

I'll respect your wishes if you want to keep certain teams off limits.

Re: Round 1

[hotstud]

We're left with Byz, Cardinal, Copper Rose, Iris, and Saffron. We could cut three of those.

[looking around] Teal seems to be good so far, though. I think if we cut one of their threads, it wouldn't do much damage to them. But we'll just have to wait and see what happens before we decide on that.

Re: Round 1

[aliksirette]

Saffron, Copper Rose, and Cardinal. I vote them.

...But aren't you good friends with them? I mean, you were even Coco's slave!

DECISION

[hotstud]

Cutting three strings — Cardinal, Copper Rose, Saffron

Round 3

[threadbared]

[Number of Strings: 9

Team threads you have cut: Cardinal, Celeste, Copper Rose, Fawn, Saffron]

[just gonna stay quiet now... that wasn't something he was expecting.]

Re: Round 3

[aliksirette]

That's... the way this game works. I know it's hard.

Re: Round 3

[hotstud]

What's our next action now? I'm all for continuing to protect our team.

Iris and Copper Rose have the most threads, but we can't cut Copper Rose's anymore. What do you think of Byz?

Re: Round 3

[aliksirette]

...Two is enough.

At any rate, it's possible that everyone else will think the same thing about Iris and Copper Rose. Trying to cause the least harm, they may end up killing.

Byz and Iris, that's what I suggest.

ALSO

[threadbared]

[An extra string sprouts from your platform, one with a four-leaf clover attached to it. It sticks to the ceiling and cannot be cut]

Decision

[aliksirette]

Cutting two strings: Byz, Iris

Round 4

[threadbared]

[Number of Strings: 8

Team threads you have cut: Cardinal, Celeste, Copper Rose, Fawn, Saffron, Byzantium, Iris]

Re: Round 4

We'll just cut one this time.

Re: Round 4

[hotstud]

Shell.

Re: Round 4

[aliksirette]

Fine with me.

I... I hope Ada won't hate me.

Decision

[aliksirette]

Cutting one string: Shell.
