Room 2: Peridot, Coral, Sapphire, Tiger's Eye, Kunzite

[dramatispersonae]

[When you enter the rooms, they're fairly open and large, with enough space to spread out. On the walls are posters with a list on them:

1. Trickery/mischief?
2. Love?
3. Truth?
4. Snakes?
5. Masks?

Can you ask a question when it depends on the last thing asked? Asked thusly, what would you say? Say what you would freely, or falter? Falter on the same word, or manage to soar?

There is a strange humming sense of expectation in the air.]

((We're playing the questions game with a twist! Each question needs to start with the needs to begin with the last word of the previous question, like in the IC example above. There is a list of themes and starter questions if you'd feel more comfortable springboarding that way -- using one of our starters will not lose you points! You'll have the standard five hours, after which we'll cut you off, but you can pretty much go wild and have as many question conversations as you feel like before you call it quits and head to endgame..))

...As I said, you don't have to apologize to me for that.

[deadlyfurniture]

Yeah, I do.

[glorious]

Very well. I appreciate it.

...What happened frightened you, didn't it?

[deadlyfurniture]

[shrugs] I could've done without it.

[glorious]

It was something you had difficulty controlling, in any case.

[deadlyfurniture]

I'm working on it.

[glorious]

[...pulls up his sleeve and taps the simple wire bracelet he's wearing.]

Ideally, you'll learn the self-control necessary to keep in check. However, if you're worried about what may happen in the meantime, there are things you can quest for to help keep yourself in check. It'll do little for the anger, but it'll be just enough to stay your hand while you work on other methods to keep yourself in check.

[deadlyfurniture]

[kind of blinks at him for a second] You don't know my history with your team at all, do you.

[glorious]

...You were the member of Tiger's Eye that killed the Captain, long before I arrived, weren't you?

[deadlyfurniture]

Yeah, I was. But that was... different. It was carelessness and not wanting to face what I was. But anyway, I'm the reason your team even knows it's possible to get things like that from the Personae. I just don't think there's much they can do about this.

[glorious]

[...]

I see. So it's something more...innate for you?

[deadlyfurniture]

Apparently.

[glorious]

Then it would be more difficult to control. However, the fact that you didn't kill me means that you do have enough of a grasp on yourself to be pulled back when needed. It's certainly possible for you to reign things in.

[deadlyfurniture]

I know that.

[glorious]

...I apologize if that was condescending. I meant to be reassuring.

[deadlyfurniture]

I don't need... reassuring. Least of all from someonew who barely knows the first thing about me.

[glorious]

[...just nods then.]

[deadlyfurniture]

[sighs] You've not told your team what happened, have you.

[glorious]

...I told my team about the premise of the game and which teams I killed, but that's all.

[deadlyfurniture]

Why?

[glorious]

...The tension between Tiger's Eye and Sapphire would be bad enough given the game. And Josh is Mau's best friend. I didn't want to make things worse for them if I could avoid it.

[deadlyfurniture]

None of us are going to blame the rest of them for your choice. There's no tension. But there might be, if you tell them what I did.

[glorious]

And I won't tell them.

[deadlyfurniture]

It's up to you.

[glorious]

...The decision is yours as well. It was your action, so it should also be your decision if you wish it to be known or not.
