[gm card room - lily]

[You find yourselves seated around a table in the middle of a small room. You can’t really perceive any walls, just heavy black velvet curtains on all sides. If you push them aside looking for a way out, you just keep finding more curtains behind them.

There is a crystal ball in the middle of the table and a spread of six large cards arranged around it, currently facedown. Their backs are a plain matte black.

You are aware that powers are all off for card rounds but will be on for the punishment round. You have whatever items are normally on your person.]

They're gonna make us do the punishments to the other flocks again.

Well, this is going to be a terrible day.

Understatement. So far we've only received one card, but it's going to hit two of us. And I'm kind of worried we're up against flocks who played as hard as they could in the last round now.

There’s really no helping the situation, so—

Don’t worry about what the other flocks are doing, as we can’t control them. What do you want Lily to do?

... I think I should've been making a case in the last round to get what I really want. We decided to protect Peony, and we can't afford to protect anyone a second time so the best we can manage is to try to earn a few extra points this round. If we're lucky, it'll be enough to keep us out of the losers' circle.

…I don’t mind a play to try to protect us from greater damage than we need to take, if that’s what you want to do.

I think it's what we're going to do. Not the 10 point card, but we can stomach enough of the others to maybe have a shot.

That’s fine with me.

Don’t you try to take all the punishment duties, though.

Don't worry. I think Cepheus might fight me if I tried.

Let’s at least split them evenly. All right?

I can live with that if you can get Lethe and Cepheus to agree.
endsjustified: (priorities.)

Re: [discussion]

[personal profile] endsjustified 2024-07-20 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Lethe has agreed. I will negotiate with Cepheus, I suppose.
spinebuddyandme: (Yeah I could take him)

Re: [discussion]

[personal profile] spinebuddyandme 2024-07-20 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Tell him if he keeps arguing, I'll just take all the punishments he could be doing instead.

[quietly]

I think our problem is we would all prefer to take punishment over seeing other Lilies do so.

[personal profile] spinebuddyandme 2024-07-20 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I wasn't kidding when I said Ceph might fight me to stop me from taking on too much.

It's nice...but he's gotta let us take care of him too.

Yes. Being a lone hero builds up some very bad habits.

I think he's already got some bad ones, but he's not a bad listener. You'll get through to him.

He agreed to even it out.

Thank you, Charon. No way was he gonna listen to me.
