❀ First Task

[dramatispersonae]

[Three wooden boxes appear: one is small and wicker, one is medium and wooden, and one is large and has gold-foil designs. They cannot be opened or harmed in any way. Next to the boxes, seven figurines clatter down. They are wooden carvings of various types of bird: one is a hawk, one is a dove, one is an owl, one is a bunting, one is a crane, one is a goose, and one is a quail. They also cannot be harmed. Kiriko's voice is in your head.]

Please choose one figure and one box as a team. Do not take too long.

The owl and the wicker basket.

❀ Second Task

[dramatispersonae]

[The unchosen boxes and figurines disappear.]

Please, as a team, choose five things to give your bird and decide on five things that your bird wants. What you give them must be in the box; what they want there is no limit to.

❀ Your box is open/Discussion

[dramatispersonae]

[In your box you will find a bowl of starch, three seeds, a silk handkerchief that is patterned like brown and gray feathers, a gold coin, a small vial of water, a pen, and seven strips of paper. One strip of paper is blank, but the other six have words written on them: speed, joy, kindness, freedom, entrapment, and death.]

Re: ❀ Your box is open/Discussion

[repeatrequiem]

Kindness and freedom, definitely.

[ THIS IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE. ]

Re: ❀ Your box is open/Discussion

[exchanged]

Well, I think "entrapment" and "death" are out.

Re: ❀ Your box is open/Discussion

[floorcandy]

The starch and the seeds would be good!

Re: ❀ Your box is open/Discussion

[featherfetch]

Shouldn't we use the handkerchief for feathers?

Re: ❀ Your box is open/Discussion

[exchanged]

Okay, how about this...? We'll give water, starch, the handkerchief (feathers), freedom, and kindness. I think that takes everyone's concerns into consideration.

If that's okay, then we just have to worry about wants.

Re: ❀ Decision

[featherfetch]

[Gives it: kindness, freedom, seeds, the handkerchief, and the blank paper slip with "ability to farm and irrigate" written on it

Wants: joy, companionship, a farm, a balanced healthy diet, and water]

❀ Final Task

[dramatispersonae]

[Another bird appears in front of you. This one, however, is alive.]

This bird has five things and wants five things, just as yours did. What do you believe it wants? Remember, there is no limit.

❀ The Bird/Discussion

[dramatispersonae]

[This hawk is gray and sits on a wooden perch. It has a Kunzite bracelet on one foot. It eyes you occasionally and appears alert but otherwise is very still.]

Re: ❀ The Bird/Discussion

[featherfetch]

Oh. Is this the bird that Kunzite created?

Re: ❀ The Bird/Discussion

[floorcandy]

A live one!

Re: ❀ The Bird/Discussion

[antreegonist]

Oh, how lovely...
