IOLITE

[dramatispersonae]

[You are standing in an amphitheatre constructed of off-white marble with several rows of seats surrounding you on all sides; in the performance space at the bottom is another banquet table, with fourteen different crowns placed upon it. They are, in no particular order:

A jeweled tiara lined with diamonds
A crown of wheat
A faded kokoshnik
A coronet with its jewels missing
A gold diadem
A civic crown made out of oak leaves
A mural crown
A naval crown missing a sail
A hoop crown missing the top insignia
A crown of thorns
A striped nemes
A crown of dandelions
A plain modius
A coronation crown with beading on the side falling off]

Re: DISCUSSION

[shipwithwings]

Yes.

Have you selected your crown yet?

Re: DISCUSSION

[playfreebird]

Not yet. I can't say I have a strong preference.

Re: DISCUSSION

[shipwithwings]

[eyes, considering]

The diadem, perhaps?

[shrugs a little, but takes it]

It will do.
