Citrine

[There are no real rooms in this game, but despite all the people, the Ring seems roomy enough that you can go off in a little huddle with your team without bumping elbows with any other team -- and if you’re the type to notice this sort of thing, you may realize that although you can still see and hear everybody else, their presence doesn’t really seem to intrude upon your discussion. It would be a stretch to say they’re muted. . . but somehow, things don’t get too loud or disruptive to your conversation.]

[Nick hands someone on your team a bent hatpin, with a hopeful smile.]

Of course, if you don’t like it, you can trade it with a team that does.

A pin?

[ blinks ]

Like... the girls' hair kind of pin?

Maybe..? I think it's broken.

[You know what we're just gonna keep this.

Bend it back into shape while we're at it.]

Ah, excellent, I see you’ve chosen your tokens! Let us proceed. . . you see, I thought. . . well, these things may be trash, but surely they’re good for something. And to make a game of it, I thought. . . you might as well use your imaginations. So! Tell me, what is the best use you can imagine for your item?

Mini hairpin sword?

It's straight now, so yeah.

You could give it to a clam and they could have clam-fights.

The pin is now a mini-sword for clam-based assault.

They’re a bit sad looking, aren’t they? Your tokens, I mean. So now I ask that you glorify them. Imagine them as bigger, better versions of themselves. Like a child’s clay model of a horse transformed into a real, beautiful charger -- tell me about the secret soul of your token. What is it the shadow of, the seed of? If it could grow, what might it grow up into?

-- a real sword. For fighting darkness and monsters.

We should make it really fancy.

So... we have a sword made of moonlight that turned into silver. The light only fights the darkness, not heroes or knights, and it can... reach darkness even it's hidden inside people, and smack the darkness around without hurting the person it's hiding in.

There's a big ol' citrine in the pommel, and if you charge it up then it has fire powers, to add more light to fight darkness. There's a pop-out-umbrella shield in the center of the hilt that's done, uh, in really tiny clockwork, because even though it's a sword, this thing is really big on protecting people. Also if someone like Nick is using it, he's only got one arm so his one thing's gotta double as a sword and a shield. Two more citrines at the ends of the hilt that can be charged up with laser powers and wind powers, because wind is handy and lasers are science-light.

Basically we straightened our pin out into a darkness-busting super thing.

My word! That’s a great improvement. Now I start to see them as they might be -- or, perhaps, as they really are in secret. But this will not do! Such grand artefacts deserve grand names, and grand stories. So, tell me -- your glorified item. . . what would its name be? For as any ship and any good sword receives a name, so should your creations.

We already have the start of the story with the moon thing.

[ fully appreciating that we have gone way overboard on the LIGHT? LIGHT. LIIIIIIIIGHT thing ]

Lighty McLightpants, awesome sword of the moon.
