[Sea Witch / Hook Game]

[boxupallthebutterflies]

[so we're both aware of the rules:

⎈ This is a game run by the Sea Witch and Captain Hook.

⎈ Pairs must decide on one person to live and one to die out of the two of them. This must be a joint decision. They may make an offer of something else in an attempt to save themselves, but must still decide who will die. Refusing to make a choice means that BOTH will die, if their offer is not accepted. Offers may be made individually or as a pair, but will be judged as a pair.

⎈ At the end of the game, your offer will be judged. The top 50% of offers will be accepted and those people will be spared.

⎈ The partner who is slated to die will have the opportunity to decide how to kill themselves. Methods generally are killing yourself, having your partner kill you, or allowing Hook/Sea Witch to do it. Generally, you should wait until part two for any killing.]

And you think playing into their game of death is any better?

[boxupallthebutterflies]

[at least then I'm the one killing someone. grrrrrr]

...Surely there is an option that does not compromise our pride.

[telltaleheart]

...We'll just have to come up with something more creative.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

That's right. ...I still think we should be moving in the direction of "action", whether it is retaliation, or simply a counterweight as an offer.

[telltaleheart]

Retaliation, huh...

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...I'm not entirely sure how that's feasible. Well, some people react well to bold defiance and turning the system around, and others do not.

[telltaleheart]

I'm not sure how well these two would react to that... though I don't know them very well.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

I can't say I know the other, but I've made a point of meeting the witch. ...She doesn't seem like the type to take it well. But who knows.

[telltaleheart]

The other one's the one who did the adventure on the boat, I think... Ariel said he threatened someone with his hook for being defiant, or something.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...So it's more prudent to seize upon a loophole.

[telltaleheart]

A loophole, huh?

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Or at least a path that will get us out of here with something we want, rather than only losing something we have.

[telltaleheart]

Something we want...

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...It's a delicate balance. If we're trying to win the bid, it needs to be desirable to them. But if not...

If we may choose the method of death... I wonder if something could be made of that opportunity.

[telltaleheart]

...What do you mean?

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...I haven't thought of anything specific yet. But for them to leave such a wide window of opportunity, there's got to be a way to exploit it somehow.

[telltaleheart]

Picking the method of death is a window of opportunity?

[boxupallthebutterflies]

There are ways to kill yourself without killing yourself. Don't you think? If you really want to be annoying, you could always just say that you're killing with the weapon of "time".

[telltaleheart]

...Heh... that's true. Well, it might be pushing it a little if no one's actually dead by the end... But you're right, there are a lot of ways to have someone die.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

And how are they even defining "death" in a physical sense?

[telltaleheart]

[nods]

For instance... Schwann is dead, after all.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...Quite. Though it might be problematic, since "Schwann" is not the member of Tiger's Eye, which is most likely the role that needs to be sacrificed.

[telltaleheart]

..."King", then.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...I'd hope you'd revive him afterwards.

[telltaleheart]

Everyone usually gets revived after a game, right? If not, I'm sure I could work it out.
