[Somewhere, somehow, there is a pile of slimes. It's a pretty impressive pile, several feet high. Blue blobby things all grinning cheerfully.

Of course, this would be just an amusing, if odd, sight, if it wasn't for the fact that at the bottom of that slime pile, there's a single human arm sticking out... and twitching.

If you listen closely, you might even be able to hear a strained voice from beneath them all...]

[reveiller]

[reveiller]

Quite. Why don't we up the stakes a little more, then?

[dreamsofahero]

What do you have in mind?

[reveiller]

A classic.

[dreamsofahero]

Which would be...?

[reveiller]

The one who loses has to answer a question truthfully.

[dreamsofahero]

*raising an eyebrow*

I suppose that might make things a little more interesting.
