SAFFRON

[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. . .]

I don't....want to die.

[ so she shakes her head. ]

We should protect ourselves first. And then attack only if we have to. I don't want my friends to die, either.

[Can I just sit here and not think for a few seconds??]

Re: Round 2

[threadbared]

[CORRECTION: One of your strings is severed! But another one sprouts from your platform, one with a four leaf clover stuck to it, and attaches itself to the ceiling.]

Yes. But we need to make sure we stay alive...we should cut Teal again. And Celeste.

Re: Round 4

[witheyesofgold]

[don't mind me guys, just going to stand dangerously close to the edge and stare down in the direction where sage dropped. holding onto one of their remaining strings]

Re: Round 4

[bad_in_latin]

... We're runnin' low on teams to cut.

Re: Round 4

[fellon]

[Keeping it together keeping it together keeping it together.]

Two, then, just in case there's another round.

Re: Round 4

[fellon]

[Sure does just go over and picks Iris and and Lilac~]

Final

[threadbared]

[Two of your strings are cut, but you still have more than five. Your platform sways, but doesn't fall.

And then you hear Frayed's voice]

I reserve the right to revoke the clause from the beginning of the game~ All teams with the least amount of strings fall! ♥

[And then suddenly, your remaining strings snap, and you plummet to the ground below. At least with the spikes down there, it's a quick (albeit painful) death]
