[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.

[hotstud]

[!!!]

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

[aliksirette]

It's not like I chose to be! I was just walking along and whoosh! Here I am. Besides, I'm actually pretty brave!

But it's true that this is a cruel game.

[hotstud]

. . . Well, at least with Bella around, we don't have to worry about morals or whatever.

Whaddaya think we should do?

[aliksirette]

I may sound cruel, but... people won't really die from this. Let's cut two strings.

[hotstud]

Are you insane?! If a team's strings gets cut six times, they'll die!

[aliksirette]

That's what I'm saying. They won't. Weren't you all eaten by a dragon?

[hotstud]

. . . I wasn't, but Cleo was.

Alright-- look here. My goal right now is to win memories for you guys, and one of my skills back. The faster we get all our stuff back, the faster we can leave this crazy place. So I'm gonna do everything I can to win. I'm cool with cutting two strings.

[aliksirette]

Yeah. It's mean, but that's what this game is about.

Let's cut Celeste's because those guys suck except Jackal.

[hotstud]

Ground rules first. We're not gonna do anything to Canary, Teal, Shell, and Sage. Those're our friends, got it?

But if we're outta strings to cut, I'd go for Sage.

[aliksirette]

[Siiighs.]

I thought you were going to do whatever it took to win? I mean, I like them too, but... well, I won't argue. But in that case, Fawn is also off limits. But not for this game, since Ada isn't playing today.

[hotstud]

There's only one person from Fawn today, anyway. If they lose, then their team won't suffer as much.

[...] Jeez, do I hear myself saying this? This is disgusting.

[aliksirette]

...Don't think of it like that.

There, that's our two choices.

[hotstud]

Alright.

... This stinks.
