SIREN'S MELODIES

[livestage]

[The Showmaster leads you through the dark stage and you find yourself entering something that looks like a very nice and expensive classroom.

Each desk is spacious with drawers that you will conveniently find any important item that had been on your person or that you feel like you would need here. Each chair is cushy and swivels.

Sitting on top of the teacher's desk is a young girl, older teen / younger adult in age at most, hair that looks like mint cotton candy that probably reaches down to her ankles. She has a knee drawn up to her body, resting her chin on top as she scours the room of who arrived . . .

And then she looks at you all with pity in her face. You'll notice that her purple eyes shifts when she makes the scowl, it goes from a solid purple to a purple mixed in with this symbol in blue also.]

Poor, poor, Sirens, victims of one of the worst tragedies, and yet you also committed one of the worst tragedies. I can't decide whether to feel bad for you or to hate you.

There are 6 of us and 25 squares...We can either divide them up as equally as possible, which means 4 per person with 1 person getting 5, or if anyone wishes to sit out entirely, the rest of us can take the leftover squares.

If it gets really bad, I can heal people and myself.

Re: DISCUSSION

Let us hope the worst of it does not involve anything particularly bloody. If so, then we can reevaluate our options and the distribution of payments.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Mm, I don't mind taking however many.

Re: DISCUSSION

[regulate]

Then you and I will have to fight for any remaining, using the age-old method of paper-rock-scissors.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lovemesomeday]

That sounds okay to me, sir!

Re: DISCUSSION

[regulate]

You do not have to call me "sir." Just Friday is fine.

... I feel like this is a bad idea because we don't know what the effects are. They could compound in a bad way.

Re: DISCUSSION

It is highly likely that will be the case. It really is a matter how much of it you wish to endure personally, and if the answer is none, please know none of us would judge you poorly for it.

I am personally willing to endure it all.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gottalearntoplayitright]

We'll handle your squares then and you handle the bodies.

[Looks around the room at who is here]

Any objections to going all in? Gray isn't here, but he really wants those visions.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justonezero]

If he wants them that badly, I don't mind playing that way!

[He clearly has no idea what's going on.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Has anyone explained about performances and visions yet to you?

Re: DISCUSSION

[preciousjem]

We've got an info board to fill.

Let's do it.

[Holds up his hand for a high 5]

Re: DISCUSSION

[lovemesomeday]

It's... okay with me, too!

[Lala hesitates briefly specifically when he looks at Jewel (aka the guy who got mauled last time), but seems to steel himself.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[gottalearntoplayitright]

You don't have to take any of the squares, it's okay if you want to sit out. We'll support whatever Lala is comfortable with.

Re: DISCUSSION

[regulate]

None at all. He is not the only one who seeks the truth.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gottalearntoplayitright]

All right then. All in.

Re: DISCUSSION

[damedana]

[OBJECTION!]

Trying to win is fine, but there's also part of the whole story of the Authors here, too! Plus, we don't know the effects yet! Going hard at the start's not going to help us, I don't think!

Re: DISCUSSION

[lovemesomeday]

[still has not ENTIRELY processed the reality of torturegames vs remembering seeing his teammates get Wrecked that one time vs desire to Be Useful and Support Teammates]

Re: DISCUSSION

[damedana]

Please be reasonable.

[he is begging]

Re: DISCUSSION

[preciousjem]

What do you want to do, Lala?

Re: DISCUSSION

[regulate]

You are also welcome to sit this out if you wish.
