Death Alternatives
So, suppose you're using Death Alternative, and you lose a fight and end up in a blackout.
And when you wake up, it's still dark, but there's a voice:
Voice: Oh good, you're awake. No don't try to move just yet. You've been very sick and you need to rest.
PC ...
Voice: Here drink this.
PC: [ can choose to drink or be not - she has to drink either way. ]
Voice: That'll help you sleep. I'll look in on you later.

Faint images of people talking.
Voice A: ... so play alread! Whatcher got?
Voice B: All right!! All right. Seven swords.
Voice C: Huh. Five of Dagons.
Voice A: Yeah? Well nine Divines!
Voice B: Hey! Hey! Hey! You can't bid nine Divines!
Voice A: Oh yeah? Says who?
Voice B: Says the Thalmor. You're not allowed more than eight.
Voice A: Yeah? Well fuck the Thalmor. And fuck you too!
Voice C: I'd sooner fuck her. Anyone fancy picking some locks?
Voice A: Shhh! Quiet you! The boss is coming!
[ player passes out again ]
Voice: Easy now, it's just me. I thought you might be hungry, so I brought you some food. I hope you like chicken soup.
Voice: It's probably best if I spoon feed you. Open up now...
Player options:
[ open your mouth/keep your mouth closed/"W-what...?" ]
Open your mouth: "Good girl. We'll have you up and about in no time"
Keep closed: "Don't be silly..." An unseen hand effortlessly prises your mouth open
"W-What...?" : "Don't try to talk yet - you're still very weak."
Voice: Now, drink your soup...
[fade to black]
Voice A: ... is what they call a "cruel and unusual punishment"
Voice B: Dunno about that. They seem to be looking after her pretty well.
Voice A: Not for her, muttonhead! For me!
Voice B: Why? What you doing to you?
Voice A: What they doing? They're keeping me in here, looking at her but with only you to talk to.
Voice B: You could try and talk to her. I don't think she's awake though.
Voice A: I'm thinking about something a little less ... intellectual.
Voice B: Know what you mean. Hey, you think the boss'd be annoyed if we cheered for the other side?
Voice A: Huh? Why'd we do that?
Voice B: 'cause if she loses, we all get to take turns with her. That's why.
Voice A: Yeah? Well "come on you greens" then!
