Who: ANYONE
Where: Along one of those high ridges around the Lacanis dorms.
When: Day 149, morning
What: Experimenting.

[And there's a tiny standing on one of those high altitude ridges, right at the edge, looking down. Though...something might be odd.

That's certainly Lacerta's green. But the maid outfit has the colors switched for their usual tiny. Not to mention the white hair. Or green eyes. Skin is kind of darker or maybe that's just the slight glow around her making her look darker? And what's that little logo on the apron? Weird.

Of course, that might not be a concern as she JUMPS OFF THE RIDGE. And no, that is NOT a safe falling height.]

	also still a maid. also very definitely focusing on Jace's face* and avoiding other, more awkward views* Looks like it! There's never this much excitement down my way.

*likewise sits*

The current trouble's relatively recent, but the roots of it go back a bit. Our teams didn't have much to do with each other at first; it wasn't that we didn't like each other, we just didn't know each other. Then a Judge called Game Master showed up.

His game...well, it was probably the worst we've ever had. He divided us up and gave us a list of actions to inflict on other teams each round of the game. We had to "play" at least one, and no more than three, all on different teams; a few other rules came later. Some of the actions were relatively harmless, like "punch someone in the face" or "steal a ration of jerky." Some of them...well, the one with the highest value was "slow kill", followed by "fast kill" and "remove a limb". Each card gave you points, taken from the other team, and if you had a debt by the end of the game, Game Master claimed he'd give you to one of his compatriots.

*nods*

It could have been all right, if people had played gently, but it wasn't. And every round, four or five teams hit us with something bad. Everyone knew that we were one of the strongest teams, so they assumed we could take it -- but even we have our limits. Masamune was blind by the end, Cancer lost both arms, all the fighters we had were injured somehow. And we ended the game with forty points worth of debt.

Delphinus played a swift kill and a lost eye on us. Afterward, Geddoe and Link came to confess and apologize; after my team helped kill something we sent to another team, Game Master forbade anyone from doing anything that would reveal moves they made until after the game. They said it was because they didn't know us well, and offered to do something for us to make up for it...that didn't happen, but it was precedent.

At that time, we didn't bear them any particular ill-will...well, most of us didn't. We had a few people on the team who were pretty angry, but we'd have had to be angry at practically everyone, if we'd been angry at anyone, so most of us thought it was better to blame the Judge. I started talking to Geddoe on occasion...he had an idea to make a kind of formal agreement, that teams who accepted it would help each other when they could and not play harshly against each other in the Games unless they had to. I thought it was a good idea, but events seem to have proven otherwise.

I'm going to sidetrack a little, because there's more history before we get to the next part.

	Mm, yeah... I'd like to see something like that, but it only works when people will agree... That's fine. I'm asking you because I want to understand as much of this as I can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
