[guillotineroom]

[you open your eyes and find yourself in a conference room, of sorts. there's a large, ovular table in the middle of the room, surrounded by enough chairs to seat every person on the team. on one side of the room is a white board, equipped with white erase markers for your strategizing (or your shitposting). on the other side of the room, hanging from the wall, is a jumbo screen]

[there are no exits]

Comments

[ROUND 1]

[guillotineroom]

[on one side of said screen, you see a list of five actions, each equipped with a certain point value. On the other side, you see a list of the ten other teams playing in this game, each one highlighted in green, indicating that they are targetable. the screen is touchable, and in order to assign cards to other teams, you merely have to slide the card to the corresponding team]

Oh hey, this time she just gave us markers.

[velluminous]

[ here Sprezzatura is, pretty fresh off a pretty harrowing palace run, to make no mention of the sight the Warden had posed just moments ago.

she makes her way to a chair and falls into it. ]

It is now. Our "final task".

[dreamlord]

[Ugh. Some of these cards…]

Is it not obvious that we should choose the most… harmless cards?

[tsunotaro]

I suppose all things must end.

[He doesn't know what his goal should be here, so he is looking to the others to gauge their reactions.]

Do we intend to win or to reduce harm?

[unwinds]

[ No sense in delaying the inevitable. The sooner their choice is made, the better. ]

We should discuss who to target.

[DISCUSSION]

[velluminous]

[dreamlord]

[Well. So.]

I suppose our strategy did not play out quite like we wanted.

[PHOENIX...]

And our hand is even more unkind this time.

Re: [DISCUSSION]

[velluminous]

[ going straight to the wall, yeah that wall, the one with a dick and balls drawn on it—she starts scribbling down ?cards? or, at least, the punishments she presumes were doled out, from what she saw and heard...

Bugbear: injury through shooting, fainting
Unicorn: fainting
Yatagarasu: vomiting
Cerberus: uncontrollable weeping
Sphinx: physical injury, mental trauma ?


...

Phoenix: lost voice

she sets her thumb between her teeth and bites down.]

I was wrong. Phoenix will adhere exactly to terms of contract and prioritize us through avoidance.

Re: [DISCUSSION]

[tsunotaro]

[Malleus is here but not being particularly helpful on account of being very sleepy.

Not that he's usually very helpful, but right now he is VERY unhelpful and probably just falling asleep standing up again.]

This isn't... so bad...

[He says that but then he's snoring shortly after.]

[velluminous]

[ thrust back into the room, wrenched from what feels like the last time upon the stage before the curtain falls, Sprezzatura takes a hard, wet, inelegantly gulping breath and sinks both her quavering hands into her hair like she's going to try to smooth it down ]
