[You are in a generously sized room divided into two unequal sections. The largest half is all stone, albiet lavishly decorated with tapestries in your team color. All of them depict a lion gorged lion sprawling on a heap of mangled bodies. The floor is plain in comparison, save for your team's zodiac symbol—perhaps measuring 6 foot by 6 foot—gouged deep and smooth into the stone.

The smaller section is blocked off by a solid wall of what looks like thick, strong glass. There are no visible entrances.

Embedded into one of the walls is a large screen showing this information.]

Then what's wrong?

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[brightblinded]

Ahh, some of my reactions were a little uglier than what's to his tastes, I guess.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[shednotearsformagic]

Reactions to what, specifically?

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[brightblinded]

Being told to eat people, being a monster, being hungry, royalty...

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[shednotearsformagic]

...well, not sure I get the royalty part.

But Aather isn't...like this. I even started with a bad game, but at least there was a chance to get everyone out all right. I think it's been a shock to him. So I hope you'll forgive him.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[brightblinded]

There's nothing to forgive. He was never wrong.

I knew about the difference, too, between here and Aather. It's more like Sabra.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[shednotearsformagic]

It does seem so.

[Reaches over to [et his head, but not lingering close.]

We just have to get through the game. It'll be fine.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[brightblinded]

We'll be fine.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[shednotearsformagic]

Hm, that's right.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[brightblinded]

I'm more worried about Aquarius, personally.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[shednotearsformagic]

They're still hanging on. Coral was a pretty friendly team and they have Cub, so I think those from Aather are avoiding them as much as possible.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[brightblinded]

The numbers are in their favor, sure...

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[shednotearsformagic]

It's good odds. [But I'm mostly concerned about two anyway.]

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[brightblinded]

I guess we'll see... Hopefully they'll get as much downtime as they need to make sure they're levelheaded enough to deal with the next one by the time it comes around.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[shednotearsformagic]

...

Kit will be able to. He's good under pressure. It's...harder to say with Shark. He might or might not.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[brightblinded]

You've got a pretty high opinion of Kit.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[shednotearsformagic]

I've seen him calmly face someone about to kill him like he didn't have a care in the world back home.

Don't know how it ends, but I think he's going to win. [I hope he's going to win.]

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[brightblinded]

Sure of himself, huh? Well, I guess he deserves to, if the way you talk about him goes to show for something.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[shednotearsformagic]

He's good at pretending he is. Even if on the inside he wants to panic, he's good at ignoring it until he can afford to do so.

But he's got a number of amazing traits so far.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[brightblinded]

What's he look like?

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[shednotearsformagic]

Short, messy brown hair, gorgeous blue eyes, a very lithe build and so very flexible.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[brightblinded]

[ I will not mention I have fleetingly met him and will also try my best to laugh slightly less than I would have otherwise ]

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[shednotearsformagic]

...amused?

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[brightblinded]

Maybe a little. You like him a lot.

Re: [ROUND 2 DISCUSSION]

[shednotearsformagic]

[Shrugs.] I think he's cute. Blackberry says I told her I was in love with him back home, but I can't be sure how sincere I am.

But I am....grateful? I suppose that would be it. I'm grateful to him.
