[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.]

Round One

[dramatispersonae]

[Nick hands someone on your team a crumpled ball of tin foil, with a hopeful smile.]

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

[Whoa, what is this.]

[STUDYING THAT TINFOIL BALL.] It's...metal...that you can crumple up?

Re: Discussion

[uneulogized]

You can keep things inside of it fresh, but we don't have much.

Re: Discussion

[ironicusername]

Tinfoil.

Re: Final Decision

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Heliodor has decided to keep the tinfoil. There's no alterations to it, except for Rider carefully uncrumpling it some and looking it over.]

[Blacksmith boy is basically geeking over the new metal type and how thin it can be and wants to keep it to study it. *_*]

Round Two

[dramatispersonae]

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?

...what if we can think of a lot of uses?

Re: Discussion

[wouldntkilladragon]

I mean, we have the cooking and the tossing it at people's head thing.

[-Can be used in cooking food.
-Can be used in keeping food cold.

-Tinfoil sculptures.
-Trace pictures into the tinfoil.
-Melt a metal finish on something that doesn't melt.
-Can be used to scrub things when crumpled up.
-To make reflective surfaces, like a handheld mirror.
-Could be melted into cracks in melt things to repair them.
-Easier form to carry metal for repair work.
-To wrap things up besides just food.
-Possible to make into a string for embroidery or sewing up wounds?
-Tinfoil hat.
-Conducts electricity.]

Round Three

[dramatispersonae]

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?

An unbreakable sword, forged over the heat in your face?

Final Description

Re: Final Description

[wouldntkilladragon]

Metal is a hard, unforgiving element, more often than not. It takes great force or heat to make it bend or move and even then, it's rigid in how it breaks.

But tinfoil is different. It's a metal than can move and change it's shape with ease. You don't need great strength or heat to do so. It's malleable, but perhaps a bit too easy to tear. Still, changing it's shape and maintaining some of it's strength is key in finding it's true soul. Given the power, the chance to grow, it could become something so much greater. A metal weapon, or any metal item, that could change it's shape at the wielders will. It would grow stronger, tougher. SO even while it changes, it would not tear anymore, becoming something unbreakable, becoming whatever the person needed that had to have the strength of metal.

Round Four

[dramatispersonae]

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.

Huh, what about Chimaera?

Re: Discussion

[looking at Rider]

This is your creation, dude.

Final Description

[dramatispersonae]

Re: Final Description

[wouldntkilladragon]

We've decided on the name Chimera.

It's an item of many shapes, like the Chimera. And it has the fire inside, showing that it can change it's shape on it's own without the aid of an outside source, and could be a powerful weapon like the Chimera is a powerful beast.
