Poisoned teacup!
Poisoned teacup!
I found this thread a while back by September, and I thought I'd remix it! Basically, I'll list lyrics from Hamilton, and you'll choose one. Each lyric stands for a teacup. Once all of the teacups have been chosen, you all will 'drink' them and I will reveal which one has been poisoned! Here we go:
The "A million things I haven't done, but just you wait" teacup
The "WHAT TIME IS IT? SHOWIME" teacup
The "I'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy and hungry, and I'm not throwing away my shot!" teacup
The "and when I meet Thomas Jefferson, Ima compell him to include women in the sequel- WORK!" teacup
The "kill your friends and family, to remind you of my love" teacup
The "life doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints" teacup
The "TAKE A BREAK" teacup
The "I hope that you burn" teacup
The "America, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me!" teacup
Basically, just choose the lyric you like the most!

I'll take the "hope is the only thing stronger fear" teacup please!

Just popping in to say, yes, I am still here, and that there are two teacups and one teacup-with-a-quote-I-couldn't-find left.

Should we take multiple teacups or wait?

Hmm... How about having AEs take teacups? That way, nobody has a higher chance of being poisoned, but we can get on with this already *nervous giggles*.
And on that note, can I have the "She asked me to try really hard to win. I swore I would." teacup?
Sure... But I'm not tweaking the odds for you! It will still be random. *turns attention to other CBers* And that means one teacup is left. Two if you can find that quote.

Alright then. I'll have my AE Alex take the "You love me. Real or not real?" "Real." teacup.

I foung the quote you where looking for.
"Panem et Circenses translates into 'Bread and Ciruses.' Then writer was saying that in return for full bellies and entertainment, his people had given up their political responsibilities and therefore their power"
Can my AE Cathy take this teacup.
(June 8, 2021 - 11:55 am)
Sure! And with that, I must begin working on the **tea party**.

Pangolin - "Katniss, the girl who was on fire."
Feline Fantasy - "Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor."
Lightning Girl - "You never forget the face of the person who is your last hope."
Starchaser - "If we burn, you burn with us."
Forest Nymph - "I am more than just a piece in their games."
AuburnFairy13 - "Here's some advice: don't die."
Leo - "Hope is the only thing stronger than fear."
Carla - "She asked me to try really hard to win. I swore I would."
Alex - "'You love me. Real or not real?' 'Real.'"
Cathy - "Panem et Circenses translates into 'Bread and Circuses.' The writer was saying that in return for full bellies and entertainment, his people had given up their political responsibilities and therefore their power."

Seven CBers and three AEs walk into the "Tea Arena", knowing only nine people will come out alive. Taking their seats, they are startled by a girl with outrageously big, indigo hair and a fur vest over an elaborate dress.
"Oh, good. You've arrived. I wasn't about to make you wait. Do you like my outfit? I love getting dressed up for occasions such as these."
The tributes murmur, "I guess so," and "Sure."
"Why so solemn? The Teacup Games are a wonderful celebration! Anyway, come on, take a sip. But be careful, there is nightlock in one cup. Oh, and before you possibly die, do admire the cups. You can't find any like them in the world."

There was silence until Lightning Girl said, "Well, we all have to drink our tea, so I guess I'll go first. Dandelions don't exactly scream, 'The tea inside is poisoned."
AuburnFairy13 followed their example. "I like how half of my teacup is full of silly, colorful squiggles, and the other half is sort of somber."
Forest Nymph, Leo, and Starchaser drank their tea at the same time. Their teacups had a checkered pattern, a circle of yellowish-white light in the middle of blackness, and a volcano erupting over mansions and shacks alike, respectively.
Cathy drank their tea out of a cup with the Colosseum blending into a wooded scene on it.
Carla's teacup had a girl twirling in a fancy dress, with a stormy sky behind her. As they looked closer, they noticed that the dress had daggers instead of gems.
Feline Fantasy and Alex locked eyes. Then they both drank their tea, one out of a cup with banners and decor over a dreary town, the other from a cup painted with foggy patches of color, and a heart seen most clearly through it all.
Pangolin, the one who had responded first to the invite, drank their tea last. Their cup had a girl walking away from flames, scorched, but somehow commanding respect.
"I guess that's it," said Leo, and the others nodded. "Hey, does anyone else have a dry feeling in their throat?" they added.
"No," responded everyone else. Then, at the same time, everyone realized what it meant. But it was too late for Leo.
Before she vanished, the girl with the indigo hair said, "Such is the way of the Poisoned Teacup Games."

A/N: The poisoned teacup was totally random, and randomized last-minute. There was no bias. Also, I forgot to ask for pronouns so everyone is "they", even my sister.

Who's going next? Preferably not me, since I've already gone.
