[ some of these punishments are, um, yikes ]

...oops.

They seem to have heard you.

Re: DISCUSSION

Jinxed it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[moonlit_knight]

[Ah there's the third round escalation she was expecting. Glancing at everyone's reaction...]

Shall we reshuffle?

Re: DISCUSSION

[thefaultinthestars]

We gain points by playing punishment cards and receiving kindness cards.

[ RAISES HAND ]

I'm fine with breaking someone's limb if I'm in a fight with them, but turning someone's hand into powder is a bit much for me.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dontdeadopeninside]

I'm fine playing these.

Re: DISCUSSION

[chirpchirpmfer]

These look okay by me.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dontdeadopeninside]

[the eye one seems a bit troublesome]

Re: DISCUSSION

[chirpchirpmfer]

Do you think if we get that eye one played on us, we can get the eye back?

Re: DISCUSSION

[dontdeadopeninside]

If we ask nicely maybe.

Re: DISCUSSION

[thefaultinthestars]

Probably.

Re: DISCUSSION

[slicedbread]

I find it ridiculous that these children are forced to potentially have their hands removed so they can fulfill their wishes. I do not underestimate their capabilities, they all have strength where its needed, but it is adults who should be taking on these tasks. They have to suffer due to negligence? I do not accept that.

I ask for your assistance, and I will use it for the others. If there are other conditions, so be it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[twobagels]

[ HEY???? ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[shadowpuppers]

[oh]

Re: DISCUSSION

[dontdeadopeninside]

[what]

Re: DISCUSSION

[kidtested]

The Sovereign of the Dawn asks if you think these children will not grow stronger through such trials.

Re: DISCUSSION

[airylibertine]

Liber Pandemos wonders if you have the right to take that decision out of their hands.
