Also, I’m flattered that you use my actual internet name without the X’s. It was a necessary evil to do such, apparently; alas
What bugs me is that nobody showed up on Realmeye as being listed not long after I started, and now, apparently, this dweeb took that name a couple years later and dropped off the face of the planet.

Rabcord buys Metabolic Boost, removing 3 coins from their inventory
XBookwyrmX buys Disarm, removing 3 coins from their inventory
Platformz uses Tome Of Greed but no one healed, hurting Platformz for 5 damage and killing them. As Platformz’s fireworks go off, the middle and right avatar start laughing and the left avatar facepalms. The right avatar floats towards Platformz’s body to consume them but accidentally gets hit by one of the fireworks and disappears. The left avatar stares at the sky upon watching the right avatar disappear. The middle avatar seems to not care. “All of that, only to end themselves with the tome. Pathetic.”

I feel fine saying this: the chances of me getting hit multiple times vs. 1 damage from countering seemed like an obvious choice. Small price.

@LudwiGa I’m probably being a complete moron, but I’m willing to dance to your fiddle for one turn. I swear if I get burned…

Now it’s all a delicate dance, dear ones!
Do you strike us, in that spiteful rage those who have nothing to lose can only muster?
Do you counter, in one final desperate move, hoping we take the bait in delivering our decisive blows and rapaciously grasping for that elusive victory?
Or perhaps… do you think we’re all liars and attack each other, embracing the sweet release of death, knowing it was by each other’s hands?

"What are they doing?’ asks the left avatar.
“They’re strategising.” answers the middle avatar.
“Strange.” The left avatar glances at the sky again.

I intentionally left the block option out, but you saw that; oh well 
. There’s ways for me to deal with that, too. It‘a all rock-paper-scissors now more than any other point in this game for me!
