SAKURA - ELEVATOR GAME

[fiftyshades]

[ The elevator doors open to reveal a spacious elevator. Three sides are glass, as well as the floor and ceiling— you can see into the elevator cars around you and determine the position of other teams, but you won't be able to hear anything from them. There's also a chair. Sorry, just one.

A display on the side shows the elevator's current floor as 10, just as the column did.
However, the button display is… idiosyncratic. This isn't a sensible floor button layout.

There's just two buttons that even have numbers. One says 4, another says 8.

Beneath those there's a set of eight flower buttons, each color coded for the teams.

By button display is a set of rules, waiting to be read, and an intercom button. ]

[counterfaith]

[ he cleaned up before the game started but his clothes still smell a little like cigarette smoke. he's standing near the chair, but not near enough to imply he's going to take the seat. the bond is quietly pensive, wary. ]

Re: ROUND 1

[unaffective]

[ probably sitting down in the chair, just staring over at the buttons, pensive

also smells slightly like cigarette smoke, for some reason? ]

ROUND 2

[fiftyshades]

[ The elevator slowly lowers itself, creaking down a single floor.

If you check the positions of the other teams out the window, you can their respective floors are:

Dahlia: 16
Marigold: 2
Sakura: 9
Larkspur: 6
Lycoris: 16
Aconite: 10
Hemlock: 8

Your intercom is also crackling. ]

Any of you want to volunteer for image damage, or is dealer's choice?

Re: ROUND 3

[marezydoats]

We have the same amount of points as Hemlock.

...We should go after them and try to raise ourselves up one.

Re: ROUND 3

[unaffective]

[ she'd be worried about that number if it weren't for this, um

headache

elaine crumples to the floor at some point between the last intercom interaction and the other teams' movement, biting back a strangled cry, clutching one of her eyes ]

FINAL RESULTS

[fiftyshades]

[ your elevator rises nine floors, then stops and releases you just shy of the top. Someone else must have reached the bottom...

You're free to proceed to end game. ]
