[You are presented with yet more spiders, spiders, and also spiders. They appear to be weaving, creating words in their webs, strung between treetops. One of them drops down in front of you. It is an exposition spider! He sounds low-voiced and coaxing:]

❝ We will present you with words; it is up to you to determine which words you choose to keep, which words you discard, and which you apply to whom. ❞

❝ I wonder. Do you think words have power? ❞

[crap, a word game] Uhh, whatcha mean, apply to whom?

Re: ❝ discuss ❞

[odetojoy]

Words are what we use to communicate to one another. I assume they do.

Re: ❝ discuss ❞

[heteronormative]

No, I mean, what does he mean by... how they apply. Like, words that we think fit people? On our team or, like, other people? I mean, maybe when we get the list it'll make sense, but why're we gonna keep or discard or apply 'em anyway?

I mean, I ain't arguing they got power and shit, I'm just not sure 'bout what the other part means. Maybe I'm asking questions too fast...

Re: ❝ discuss ❞

[gonnariverdance]

Maybe just decidin' who fits the word best.

[looks bored with this entire conversation]

Re: ❝ discuss ❞

[heteronormative]

Yeah, I mean... eh, never mind, I'm kinda dumb, it'll prolly make sense when we know more. [shrugs.]

Re: ❝ discuss ❞

[odetojoy]

Or maybe it will be up to us to decide.

Re: ❝ discuss ❞

[odetojoy]

Bored so fast?

Re: ❝ discuss ❞

[gonnariverdance]

Ain't no shame in askin' questions, boy. I'm curious what they mean exactly too.

Re: ❝ discuss ❞

[heteronormative]

No shit, he already said that.

Re: ❝ discuss ❞

[myeyeonyou]

I don't see any point to discussing this, without the words to work with.

Re: ❝ discuss ❞

[heteronormative]

Aight... okay, cool.

❝ one ❞

[dramatispersonae]

Of the following group words, choose six that you feel best describe this team. Then, select two each for Tiger's Eye, Sapphire, Peridot, and Coral. You will have words left over.

rustic, ruthless, quick, proficient, tangible, unusual, upbeat, languid, mundane, rabid, lamentable, spiritual, torpid, callous, crazy, hungry, invincible, itchy, lovely

Re: ❝ discuss ❞

[odetojoy]

Why are you making those questions, then?

Re: ❝ discuss ❞

[odetojoy]

Neither do I.

Re: ❝ one ❞

[heteronormative]

Ohhhhhhhh. So we gotta apply words to people, huh? I don't ... think I know shit about most of these teams though.

Re: ❝ discuss ❞

[heteronormative]

'cause I don't get why the shit we'd wanna apply words to people, dipstick.

Re: ❝ one ❞

[odetojoy]

Perhaps we should start by sharing what we know of them.

Re: ❝ discuss ❞

[odetojoy]

Because it is a game.

Re: ❝ one ❞

[myeyeonyou]

. . . you're all very new, for a game like this.

Re: ❝ one ❞

[gonnariverdance]

I don't suppose you know anything about those teams, do ya? I've only met one each from Peridot and Tiger's Eye so far.

Re: ❝ one ❞

[heteronormative]

Uhh... Vision on Sapphire's cute and kinda smart and ... kinda likes teasing people. Don't take no shit even if she's polite'n quiet. The sapphire dude I kissed was kind of quiet and lost but he just was new too.

Valiant on Tiger's Eye is like... uh... I dunno, he was fluster...y.

Re: ❝ one ❞

[myeyeonyou]

I know something about all of them.

. . . "hungry" might work for Tiger's Eye.

Re: ❝ one ❞

[heteronormative]

Oh yeah! Ariel's on Peridot, right? She's super cute and real quiet 'cause she can't speak and gets real showy of her feelings prolly also 'cause she can't speak.
