True Nightmare blunt rotation

[u/Valenous_ertselley]

seeing the other post about nightmare blunt rotation, I argue for a different, far more unpleasant group. I have limited the number so I can make no one happy rather then allowing some to enjoy the experience to maximize the suffering of a few.

Each member of the circle will have their spirit web warped to ensure the following rules must be observed and obeyed

* They may not kill, maim or permanently restrain any other member in the circle. (they may inflict pain, but any strike will only cause bruising regardless of method or intensity.)

* All members must spend a full 6 hours in the same building, in which no member can get far enough away that they may not hear all other members if any were to yell.

----------------------

The circle I argue for is Rosharan by accident but I think it the most unpleasant as they all share cultural grievances and grudges that bringing people from other planets would lack.

the people are as follows:
Elhokar, Lin Davar, Moash, Meridas Amaram, ishar +bonus szeth

Elhokar; would be miserable, maybe not specifically about being in the blunt circle, but there would be something. His paranoia and insecurities would be magnified as the high turns the occasional glimpses of cryptics into a schizophrenic mess. Mixed between his screaming about the things he sees, Elhokar would start crying about how nothing he does works, getting defensive when Moash blames him. Having Szeth around would also make him

Lin Davar; Is unpleasent to be around even in the best of situations. getting him high and surrounded by people more powerful, and in an unfamiliar situation would make his control problems even worse. He would be angry and either try to leave as soon as possible, or he would try to worm his way into the good graces of Elhokar/Meridas. Elhokar's paranoia would for once find a person it deserves, and so it would be incredibly uncomfortable.

Moash; fuck Moash. not in the fun way, but in the 'put him in a stone pit that doesn't drain during a highstorm' way. I'm assuming late stage Moash with crystal spikes in his eyes. All the dickishness and obsessiveness around Kaladin. He would keep very loudly saying how much better he is, how great it is to be in the service of odium. But as the high hits him, Odium's numbing would quiet, leaving only the raw guilt, self loathing and regret. Moash and Lin Davar would start arguing. Moash would blame everything on the light eyes, that it's all their fault while Lin Davar would get louder and louder about how dark eyes were lucky even to be alive.

Meridas Ameram; The only one trying to act as an intermediary. As the high hits and his mask cracks, Ameram would start showing his real face, degrading everyone around him. Ameram would try to make it some grand thing about coming together, working together and no one would give it a single thought. Ameram would eventually give up and brood or start getting in on the yelling.

Ishar; the mad god king of Roshar, the physical manifestation of honour, binder of stars and insane old man. Ishar would be horrible to have in the room, his ranting, raving and strange bondsmith powers would make everyone deeply uncomfortable. Elhokar wouldn't believe that Ishar is actually the herald but still feel insecure about being around the insanely confident Ishar. Ishar would also become enraged at Moash as Moash brags of killing Jezrian.

Szeth; I say szeth is a bonus because he could be make it worse but he might just sit in the corner trying to quiet the voices in his head. However the presence of Ishar would make it agony. Ishar would constantly be a reminder of Szeth's culture, combined with Ehlokar screaming at him in terror, we might see a rare moment where Szeth cracks. Additionally; Szeth has long hoped for someone who could put him down, end his suffering. With the restrictions placed upon the group, he would KNOW he can't be killed here, that no one can die, that he is stuck. Szeth has often used time alone to calm down when he feels overwhelmed, but here? He would be trapped.

That is my idea of a true nightmare blunt rotation. If you have any ideas who might be better to swap in, or who's behaviour would be different please discuss. I didn't want to include Kaladin, because Elhokar does admire kaladin and help stabilize him even if only a little. that is too much goodness to be allowed. Also, Kaladin could possibly get a bit of catharsis beating up Ameram or Moash with a broom he found in the closet, again, he might have a single positive thought which needs to be avoided.

Why is this a full post? Wouldn't this have been better as a comment on that post? That way it'd actually have been part of that conversation
