[There's a person in gray walking around the new buildings. He seems to be scanning the area around the two buildings, getting his bearings perhaps? Though he looks pretty calm and collected.

Bother?]

*follows his gaze a moment, then shrugs*

Representatives from each team were chosen and placed in a series of rooms. In order to move on, you had to leave a partner-team pair behind in each room. The first room was a steam bath, dangerous but not fatal; when there was disagreement, our representative and his partner decided to take the fall. The next room, everyone who passed on had to break someone else's bone, and that dissolved into a brawl pretty quickly before Orion and Cepheus stopped it by volunteering. The third room had walls that closed in, not completely, but enough to break ribs if you were at the center. Unfortunately, everyone was so busy fighting that they couldn't get out in time.

The thing about games like that is that there's usually a way to minimize damage all around, but sometimes people don't see it, or don't look.

... so basically, you guys could've gotten through it quicker and everyone would be okay?

[thinking for a moment before releasing a breath and giving a bit of a nod] Okay. I got it. Thanks.

*nods*

Exactly. If people kept their heads, they'd be better off -- but that's easy to say, and hard to do in a crisis.

Trial by fire. Sounds like fun.

The fun never stops around here.

Yeah, I can tell. That kind of game and then a whole bunch of clueless newbies.

[identity profile] blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com 2010-07-06 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Well, we can hope that the next few won't be too terrible, but that's about it.

It's not much, but sometimes it comes through.

[identity profile] sonuva_gun.insanejournal.com 2010-07-06 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I bet. Dagger named our other teammate that.

[identity profile] blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com 2010-07-06 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
Did you pick one for yourself yet?

[identity profile] sonuva_gun.insanejournal.com 2010-07-06 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. Wanted to make sure the other two were covered. And I can't really think of anything.

[identity profile] blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com 2010-07-06 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
So, which one went with which name?

[identity profile] sonuva_gun.insanejournal.com 2010-07-06 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
Little guy's Dagger. Hope's our girl.

[identity profile] sonuva_gun.insanejournal.com 2010-07-06 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
Soon as I get a name, I'll be sure to mention it.
