[gm card room - rose]

[crittersheep]

[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.]

No, I'd like them to look me in the eye and watch me play the card. Then... then at least you all would be okay.

To be fair, I'd do it with Clover and even Thistle too.

[wants_the_phd]

Okay, but in my defense, that wouldn't be fun for me at all.

I may be an old fart, but I still like playing sometimes.

[debug_mode]

...Old fart? You're not old.

Did she forget to tell the rest of Rose she's dying?

She might have done that.]


This human disguise I'm wearing isn't real and doesn't age.

My real body is already several years past its expiration date and I am literally decaying as we speak.

[debug_mode]

...

[Oh, oh no...]

[wants_the_phd]

We don't live as long as humans.

Sorry.

[debug_mode]

No, don't apologize to me...

No wonder you don't want to die.

[wants_the_phd]

Oh, no, that's a different reason.

I have a small machine in me that will self-destruct if I die. Even if I get revived in the fountain, the machine will be destroyed forever. It's a non-ressurectible part of me.

Aides is helping me make a backup, but until then, I'm vulnerable to being murdered. I'm kinda trying to keep it on the downlow, so if you could kindly keep that between us for now...

[debug_mode]

...Yes, I understand.

[she has questions, but she can keep that between the two of them]

It's safe with me. ...It would be safer if I could unlearn the knowledge because truth fields exist, but I'll do something.

[wants_the_phd]

Do what?

[debug_mode]

Distract the asker. Hurt the asker. Hurt myself.

Few weeds use the power for that information anyway. ...Or at all.

[wants_the_phd]

[She chuckles]

Thanks. I really doubt anyone's going to force you at truth-point for my specific weaknesses, but I appreciate the sentiment.

I'm just asking that you don't go around broadcasting this information or anything.

[emperor forfend someone learn her weaknesses as easily as she learned Cygnus' just now.]

[strateelgic]

[Well this is something to bring up later.]

[ Listening with a bit of anxiousness. ]
