teamposts | Teal

Rules:
-Each team is dealt a hand of four cards. Each card has a point value between 1 and 10 and an attack.

-Each team will pick one card to play, and their first, second, and third choice of which team for the card to be played on.

-There is a 12 point limit on what cards will actually be accepted. Cards with higher values will be accepted first. After 12, the only cards that will be accepted are one with a matching point value. (e.g. if the highest card submitted is an 8, it will be accepted. If the next highest card submitted is a 7, and three 7s are submitted, all 7s will be accepted, but nothing lower than a 7 will be accepted).

-Only cards which are accepted will have their attacks carried out.

-Teams that have their cards accepted are protected from the attacks of other teams. If a team's first choice is protected, the card goes to their second choice.

-Teams whose cards go through also will not have to participate in the possible second round, should the game require one.

[You find that once the robot has moved away you cannot see or hear the other teams.

Your robot hands you four large, heavy stock cardboard cards, each with a point value and attack on it. You also get a black card, and a sharpie to write your choices on.]

[shaking, gritting her teeth]

If they're not all right, I'll—

[fuck this]

What're we playing?

[With Celeste gone there's no one I want to murder anymore 8(]

... Are there any objections to the eight?

[raises his hand]

Is that necessary. . .? Who are the teams left?

B-Byzantium, Cardinal, Canary, Lilac, and Sage.

Sage wouldn't hurt a fly. Lilac is out of the question. Canary play moderately. Cardinal . . . I don't know. And Byzantium is . . .

We don't have any reason to play a stronger card on any of those teams though, unless you're afraid of it getting blocked.

[actually I'm more afraid of Teal flouncing . . . ]

I wouldn't mind playing the three point card, either.

[snatching for your hand]

No, but we're running out of teams we can play against . . . We can't hit Byzantium, Sage, or Lilac. I really don't want to hurt Canary.

Cardinal . . .

[ piping up, from over there ]

...Byzantium would understand, I think, if we tried to hit them with something small.

Cardinal would be better, though...

I wouldn't call an amputation small . . .

Mochi, are you sure? All of the heavy-hitting teams are out.

Just how likely is it that any of the remaining teams hit with something hard? Unless they were blocked before. . .!

Also, how well aware of connections are you guys? For example, our connection with Lilac and Byzantium is fairly obvious, and we could all possibly be thinking the same thing about going for Cardinal. What if it doesn't go through?

... I don't know the other teams well enough to say for sure how hard they'll play. But they may have more moderate cards than we do. If they have a five or a six that they're willing to play, our three or one isn't going to go through, and then we'll be vulnerable.

Unless one of them decides to kill us all, if we get hit, I'll take the punishment.

I'm just more so concerned with our target. Looks like I'm outvoted, card wise.

Byzantium hits hard too, you know. ...they don't seem to be well-liked, in competitions.

Cardinal is fine. Do what you want. But you're not getting killed on your own, so stop trying to pull that crap.

I'm not Byzantium, so I don't know. I do think they might be a better option as well, since they seem fairly logical about this whole thing.

--I didn't say killed, I meant like having an arm chopped off!

Either way, no.

So instead, I should let Coco or Vanilla or you get hurt, in my place, despite your loud distaste of continuing to get the short end of the stick in these contests?

I'm not human, and I sincerely doubt Vanilla is either. We can handle it much better than you guys probably can.

Whether it's hypocritical or not doesn't matter.

. . . Seriously, Tiramisu.

If it's a single person punishment, I mean!! Would you like your limbs to be amputated?

If it spared a teammate, yes.

Coco, have you noticed how the others are extremely protective of you and how our morales have dropped watching you die or even talking about it?

Not to say any one teammate is more important than the other, but I think we can all agree you are the last person any of us would allow to take a hit.

[BUT NO]

I'm pretty sure that's not how it works, and even if it were, there's no way we'd allow that.

Well, the entire team is emphasized by the kill card, so I can only assume the others only take a single or select few members.

You guys act like you'd jump at the chance for it instead, honestly. . .!

[He doesn't pull away, but he's not really looking at her either.]

... If we don't, there's a better chance we'll be vulnerable.

I have no objections to Cardinal or Canary.

[clinging tightly, hand shaking a little]

If we used the three on Sage or Lilac, I think it'd go through.

. . . But if you're really set on it, like I said. I'll accept.
