I disagree. Aside from that one specific point, there is absolutely no weight to our choice at all, within the mechanics of the game.
Either we will live or we will die, that is already out of our hands. If we live and not many others do, we are assured a victory. If too many live, only those that chose wisely will receive a victory.
It is that last corner case alone for which our choice counts for anything.
(She's rather perky for such a heavy decision. . .)
Haah.
Well, in that case, the only teams I think would even think of protecting us are Lilac, Iris, and possibly Byzantium. The former because we have good friends on those teams from our previous lives, and the latter just because we've always been on friendly terms. However, those teams also have other connections, so it's no guarantee that we can depend on them 100%.
If I had to pick a team to protect, I'd pick Lilac, due to my relationship with Trucy. There's no other logic based reason.
She's my assistant back home, and I work for her father, apparently. I'd rather nothing happen to her, but. . .[frowns] I know an important person to me isn't an important person to someone else.
I have been trying to distract myself from the realization that there is nothing I can do to prevent my own death. I have not been entirely successful, and find the concept of being killed myself... unpleasant.
It isn't pleasant. It's never going to be pleasant. It will never be something that you get used to, or should get used to. Still, the reality is, it will happen, and will happen again.
It's just another reason why I find being killed or hurt outside these competitions to be grating. Everyone is has felt what you're feeling, so why they'd bring such stress outside of the games. . .ugh, it's infuriating, really.
[sighs]
Ugh, I'm rambling. I wish I could say something more comforting but. . .you'll be fine, if it happens. That's all I can offer.
It's never happened to me, though I was chewed by some wolves, briefly. That wasn't fun at all. I think the worst I've had was being impaled. . . [shudders]
Well, it's a big dragon. Pretty sure he could just kill us in one snap each.
I... want it to be over quickly. [Pause, then an irate shift in thought suddenly] Talking about this will get us nowhere. We should speak of something else.
I was stabbed in my memory. It healed far greater damage far faster than this; something appears to be inhibiting it. However, I also appear to have the ability to use this on others.
Don't ever do that again, even for a demonstration!! I'm glad you're alright and that's quite a useful skill, but there isn't any reason to be careless even if you have that kind of power!
I shall refrain from doing it again. [With a nod.] I would rather not openly demonstrate that I am a fighter. It may detract from my effectiveness in dealing with people as a healer.
As to the question, I was mugged. The me of the past told him to go away. He threatened to stab me, and I dared him. He did. I held the knife in there and stabbed him with this. Then for reasons I am unable to explain I opted to heal him instead of simply let him die.
[Hey wait he knows lots of stuff about everything, so maybe...]
...Do you happen to know what 'Primum non nocere' means?
Maybe because it would have been too troublesome to go to the police and be trialed for murder. . .though, in your case, it was purely self defense and justified. You probalby wouldn't have been able to explain your magical hand knife, though. . .ugh.
[thinks]
No, it sounds foreign though. . .maybe latin? I don't remember enough to pin point it.

And having to sit and wonder for four hours..? It appears the dragon is trying to press our psyche.

That's exactly what he's trying to do. (And it's working just fine.)
Is that all that's bothering you?

I am worried that it will be a long, drawn-out affair... that I will feel every last minute of it.

[Just gonna' hold up her hand and show him--she makes an orange blade over it. Then, she makes a thin cut across her other hand with it.]

Is that--don't cut yourself!! Your hand just turned into a blade!

You can heal?! T-that's a relief. . .!
