[YEAH NO, THIS ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT FLY]

. . . what kind of bullshit is this?!

[oceansflower]

The worst kind! They seriously expect us to do this?

[she knows the answer, but... :(]

[lifeistooshort]

Those bastards have another thing coming if they do!

[TIME TO GRIP SOME CELL BARS AND START PULLING]

[oceansflower]

[While you do that, I am going to kick at them.]

Mm, they do. I'm not going to just let them do this.

[lifeistooshort]

Neither am I! If they want to play with people's lives, let them gamble with their own!

[loudly]

You hear that, assholes?! Get down here and play this stupid game yourselves!

[oceansflower]

Why do you always make us do these kinds of things!?

[roundhouse kicks the door one more time, even if it's not actually going to do anything]

[lifeistooshort]

[taaakes a step back, and punches the nearest wall with his automail arm]

Damn it. . .

[oceansflower]

[sits down, hard, pulling her knees up to her chest and wiping the angry tears out of her eyes]

I don't want to do this.

[lifeistooshort]

. . . what the hell do they mean by "make an offering," anyway? What are we supposed to offer?

[oceansflower]

What kind of thing should we offer? If they're not saying, they probably don't care.

[lifeistooshort]

[uuuugh]

I'd say if they don't care, then why should we, but they're not the ones staring death in the face and trying to barter their way out.

[oceansflower]

They're making it so we have to care unless we both want to die.

[lifeistooshort]

[firmly]

No one's dying here, Marine. Not today.

[oceansflower]

. . . Mm, no one is dying. We'll both get out okay.

[lifeistooshort]

[but what about other people-- no, he can't think of that right now, he needs to focus.]

Marine. . . how do games like this usually work? This is the first one I've been in.

[oceansflower]

[that's exactly what she's trying to do right now, too. focusing is the most important thing, right now.]

They always want us to choose people that will get hurt or die. Some games depend on how popular you are, and some games depend on attack points that you have to put on other people. There's never an out, and if there is, they want a lot to even make sure someone won't get hurt or die.

[lifeistooshort]

What kinds of things do they ask for to make sure no one gets hurt?

[oceansflower]

Things that are really important to you.

[lifeistooshort]

. . . like what?

[oceansflower]

In the elevator game, we had to pick people to shove down so that we could go up.

. . . It could be something like that.

[lifeistooshort]

No.

We're not offering up someone else to save our own lives. We can't.

[oceansflower]

I know-- I wouldn't have let that be an option! I'm not going to kill someone else to live. I'd rather die than do something like that.

OFFERING

[lifeistooshort]

You want an offer? Well, we've got one for you! We'll give you Marine's hairclips-- they have real gemstones laid into them. Along with that, we'll give you some of Apollo's cooking. Trust me, he's the best cook in this damn place!

If you say no, that's your problem. Not ours!

((This entire offering is worth 3 points on the difficulty scale!))

Re: OFFERING

[oceansflower]

[ooc; marine's offer is the same! it falls at a three on the difficulty scale.]

[dramatispersonae]

I'm afraid that others have outbid you.

[and then water begins to flow into the cell, seeping between cracks in the walls and floor and rising quickly (there seems to be an invisible barrier stopping it from flowing out between the bars). If you've made a decision about who will die, then the surviving person will instinctively know that they can breathe the water just fine. Either way, you have about sixty seconds to put any plans for dying into action before the water reaches the top of the cell. Once the person who was meant to die has died, their body will disappear, the water will recede and the door will swing open. Stepping through it will cause the survivor to find himself or herself in the Ring.]
