[The comm clicks on and for a moment, there’s nothing except the ambient noise of the room. But then Riku speaks, a laugh in his voice.]

Well, seems there’s no shortage of action here. This place always so explosive?

Since there doesn’t seem to be any land on the horizon, how about a game? Capture the flag. Monday. Open to anyone that wants to play.

Who’s in?


[A little bit later, there’ll be a text post! It says:]

I know there are people from a bunch of different worlds here. You probably played different than we did at home. So here’s the rules we used to play by:

1. Two teams. One captain to each team. You want to captain the other team? Note it here. Once we get enough people, me and the other captain’ll pick teams.

2. Captains are in charge of how their team is run.

3. Teams hide their flag somewhere in their territory. Your goal is to get the other team’s flag and bring it back to your home territory. Inside your own territory you have home base and prison.

4. If you’re in the other team’s territory, they can catch you and take you prisoner. On the islands, we’d fight it out—if the intruder lost, they got taken prisoner. If the intruder wins, the defender has to give the intruder a minute’s head start. If you don’t want to fight, you don’t have to, but you’ll automatically forfeit the match.

5. To rescue prisoners, someone from your side has to sneak to the other side’s prison. Tag the prisoners and they’ll be freed, but they have to get all the way back to home base without being caught again before they can go back to searching for the flag.

6. If you have the flag, you can be taken prisoner just by being tagged—no battling.

7. Once you get the other team’s flag back to your home base, you win.


Got a problem with the rules? We’ll talk about it.

Let me know if you want to play—game starts Monday.

I gotta question.

[oathbreakers]

And that is?

[tachikhromatic.livejournal.com]

Wait, you can't hurt people at all in this game? That might be hard...

Can I play?

[oathbreakers]

Getting hurt's always a possibility when it comes to sparring, but you shouldn't aim to hurt someone else. There's a difference between a spar and a fight. This's supposed to be the former.

Sure, you can play. What's your name?

I wanna be captain!

[Of course she does.]

[Audio]

[oathbreakers]

All right, I'll keep you in mind.

[Audio]

[rdmcatpaw.livejournal.com]

This sounds a bit like Brenner, but with a few different rules.

Will magic be allowed?

[Audio]

[oathbreakers]

Why not? Might make the game more interesting.

In the interest of keeping it fair, though, nothing that won't wear off in a minute. Sound good?

[withanokka.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm up for captain. Sounds like fun!

[And Sokka? REALLY needs fun right now.]

[oathbreakers]

[Oh, like he didn't have fun the last time the two of them met up. Jeez Sokka.]

I'll keep that in mind. You've got competition for that spot though, Sokka.

[This may be a chance to get some info on the people here.]

Alright, I'm in. Don't want to be a captain though.

[Audio]

[oathbreakers]

Got it. We've already got a couple people who want to be captain anyway.

What's your name?

[Audio]

[lightwithin]

[Have some laughter.]

Do you even need to ask?

[Audio]

[oathbreakers]

[No laughter here, but you can probably hear his smile.]

I'd hoped not.

[redhot-redeemed.livejournal.com]

Hey. I want to participate.

[This is serious business.]

[oathbreakers]

All right, I'll add you to the list. What's your name?

/POSTA AGAIN

[standardpackage.livejournal.com]

So how do we handle casualties?

OH GOD /DIES <3

[oathbreakers]

The way I hear, you get sent to the brig for a few days.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I wanna play ~!

[oathbreakers]

All right, consider yourself a player.

Who are you?

[unamvirtus.livejournal.com]

What kind of fighting is allowed?

[He's thinking about setting up a billion and a half traps, here.]

[Audio]

[oathbreakers]

Anything so long as it won't hurt people or give your team an unfair advantage. Like I said, nobody should be walking away from this with more than a bruise or two.

[Traps are allowed! Hell, Riku will likely be setting a few of his own~]

[audio]

[kazeyotsutaete.livejournal.com]

It's a game, right?

... I'd like to play.

[Audio]

[oathbreakers]

Great, that gives us even teams.

What's your name?

[audio]

[bemiiine.livejournal.com]

Pamela wants to play~! Pamela wants to play~!

[Audio]

[oathbreakers]

I'm guessing you're Pamela?

[palutenas-angel.livejournal.com]

I'd like to play.

[oathbreakers]

All right, sounds good. What's your name?
