[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.]

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.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

It should be easy enough for you. ...But if it's the two of us alone, it doesn't matter much to me if he's gone. So, will you kill him?

[telltaleheart]

I can do it. Will that work for the rules, though? We're supposed to jointly pick one person to die out of a pair...

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...So you shall be King for now. You will elect to kill yourself with the weapon of "Raven". But it will still be two people choosing one to die. I will of course offer my assent.

[telltaleheart]

...Alright. By Tiger's Eye rules, we can choose to sacrifice ourselves if it's unanimous among everyone present. Sounds like that's the decision.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

[...grins]

In that case, what about an offer?

[telltaleheart]

If I'm taking the hit, I'd much rather do that than have anyone else die... so I don't really mind if we don't make much of an offer.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

You could always offer them the pleasure of King's company, and if they reject you, you can just kill yourself in despair.

[telltaleheart]

I dunno, my company is a pretty valuable offer.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Would you like me to throw in my company too, to keep it even? I won't kill myself though. [cackle...!]

[telltaleheart]

Sure. Maybe we can all sit down for pie or drinks or something.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

If we offer that, then we'll have to quest for the pie and drinks, and that's a pain... I suppose that depends on how intently we're offering.
