LIILAC

[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.

[personal profile] aliksirette 2012-12-17 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's just us.

[!!!]

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

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: (. . . Not sure if want)

[personal profile] hotstud 2012-12-17 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
. . . Well, at least with Bella around, we don't have to worry about morals or whatever.

Whaddaya think we should do?
aliksirette: (Fixation)

[personal profile] aliksirette 2012-12-17 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
I may sound cruel, but... people won't really die from this. Let's cut two strings.
hotstud: (Blegh! I hate pineapple!)

[personal profile] hotstud 2012-12-17 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Are you insane?! If a team's strings gets cut six times, they'll die!
aliksirette: (Albedo)

[personal profile] aliksirette 2012-12-17 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I'm saying. They won't. Weren't you all eaten by a dragon?
hotstud: (Let me simplify things for you. . .)

[personal profile] hotstud 2012-12-17 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
. . . 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: (Bletting)

[personal profile] aliksirette 2012-12-17 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It's mean, but that's what this game is about.

Let's cut Celeste's because those guys suck except Jackal.
hotstud: (Heave ho heave ho)

[personal profile] hotstud 2012-12-17 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
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: (Bletting)

[personal profile] aliksirette 2012-12-17 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[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: (Ray-dar¸ not gay-dar!)

[personal profile] hotstud 2012-12-17 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
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: (Congelation)

[personal profile] aliksirette 2012-12-17 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
...Don't think of it like that.

There, that's our two choices.
hotstud: (Shut up about your period already)

[personal profile] hotstud 2012-12-17 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Alright.

... This stinks.
hotstud: (. . . Not sure if want)

Cutting two strings — Celeste and Fawn

Round 1

[personal profile] threadbared 2012-12-17 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[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]
hotstud: (You have to stop with those bad ideas)

Re: Round 1

[personal profile] hotstud 2012-12-17 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
... 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.
aliksirette: (Calcination)

Re: Round 1

[personal profile] aliksirette 2012-12-17 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
I'll respect your wishes if you want to keep certain teams off limits.
hotstud: (Hmm... how to get a harem...)

Re: Round 1

[personal profile] hotstud 2012-12-17 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
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.
aliksirette: (Albedo)

Re: Round 1

[personal profile] aliksirette 2012-12-17 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Saffron, Copper Rose, and Cardinal. I vote them.

...But aren't you good friends with them? I mean, you were even Coco's slave!
hotstud: (You stuck it in her pooper?!)

Coco's got—

Jeez!
