HELIODOR

[dramatispersonae]

There is a small enclave for you, with ribbons hung in your team colors. There are chairs in a circle to sit, and a small basket with three sets of cards bound with twine. You instinctively reach for the set that is supposed to be done first, and the other two cannot be untied, no matter what you do.

Nimue's voice speaks softly to you.

"Thank you... for playing my game... I would like to get to know you better, heroes. So... I propose questions and answers. Before you are three sets of cards with different questions on them. You will know which ones come first."

She pauses and then continues, a bit more confident now.

"You may answer them. You may not. You may only tell the person that has asked the question, or you may tell all of Aather, for any others curious. You will be rewarded for your bravery, and honesty. I would prefer... more than a yes or no answer... but you may choose that, as well..."

[ewaoijew well, at least it's gentle.]

S-sorry?

Re: DISCUSSION

[redblossoms]

Well at least it went fast.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

Welcome?

Sorry, you just...seemed kind of upset, so I was worried.

Re: DISCUSSION

[redblossoms]

Of course I was upset, you were attacking my beliefs! But I already knew westerners have a different opinion on fate, so it was my own fault for bringing it up. If there's anyone I'm angry at, it's the Personae, not you.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

Westerners...?

I didn't mean to...attack them.

...though I guess it kind of was.

Sorry.

Re: DISCUSSION

[redblossoms]

Don't mention it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

...okay.

Re: DISCUSSION

[redblossoms]

... Now we're going to have to wait forever, aren't we...

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

...I dunno. Are we? This is my first game.

Re: DISCUSSION

[redblossoms]

Ah- that's right.

The other teams are all doing the same thing as us, with answering questions, so... they'll probably take longer.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Looking at the questions.] I guess not everyone would have as simple questions as me.

Re: DISCUSSION

[redblossoms]

Did you get asked for questions, by the way?

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

...no, actually. There were things I wondered, but I don't remember telling anyone.

I assumed it was a god thing.

Re: DISCUSSION

[redblossoms]

... They're not gods, but yes. One of these games...

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

They seem a lot like them.

This happen often?

Re: DISCUSSION

[redblossoms]

Invasive games? More often than they should.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

...well, nothing can go wrong with that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[redblossoms]

It's mostly annoying...

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

At least that's something, I guess.

Re: ANSWER

[redblossoms]

All to Rider, I do not yet recall my favorite food, I was an attendant priestess to the Holy Princess of the Sakigami Shrine, and I was never angry at him to begin with.

Re: ANSWER

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Off to the Podium.]

[Will come back and try not to be too embarrassed.]

ROUND 2

[dramatispersonae]

QUESTIONS

[dramatispersonae]

FROM LEE: Rider on Heliodor: Are you settling in to Aather okay?
FROM LLOYD: Tsuruume: What's the story about how you know Rabbit?
INSERTED BY NIMUE: What has been your greatest challenge…?
INSERTED BY NIMUE: How… do you feel about personae…?

DISCUSSION

[dramatispersonae]

Re: QUESTIONS

[wouldntkilladragon]

They still don't seem too bad.

Re: QUESTIONS

[redblossoms]

[ LLOYD IRVING!! ]

I'm more worried about what kind of questions she sent from me.

Re: QUESTIONS

[wouldntkilladragon]

They can't be that bad, can they?

Re: QUESTIONS

[redblossoms]

I don't know, that's why I'm worried. Some of them could be pretty awkward...

Re: QUESTIONS

[wouldntkilladragon]

...

[Pats her shoulder.] I'm sure it's not that bad.]

Re: QUESTIONS

[redblossoms]

It probably isn't, but there are reasons I don't ask what questions I have.

Re: QUESTIONS

[wouldntkilladragon]

Maybe a bit of honesty will help...? You can blame the awkward on Nimue, if nothing else.

Re: QUESTIONS

[redblossoms]

I'm not dishonest, and I don't expect them to be dishonest. It's just that they're things that aren't my business or don't make a real difference.

Re: QUESTIONS

[wouldntkilladragon]

I...didn't mean to say you were dishonest. I think I put it the wrong way. I mean...communication. It's probably important, so maybe...it won't be so bad...

Or maybe I should just stop talking.

Re: QUESTIONS

[redblossoms]

... I'm not mad.

Re: QUESTIONS

[wouldntkilladragon]

But I still can never seem to say things right...

Re: QUESTIONS

[redblossoms]

I got what you meant. I just think it's stupid to force communication through a game.

Re: QUESTIONS

[wouldntkilladragon]

Well...yeah, it could have gone better.

Re: ANSWER

[redblossoms]

[ podium. ]

To the Persona, the number of challenges I've faced is far more trying than any one of them on their own, and I hate all of you.

Re: ANSWER

[wouldntkilladragon]

[....so bold, Tsuruume.]
