Turquoise

[dramatispersonae]

[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 lump of sealing wax, with a hopeful smile.]

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

[sealing... wax]

Do I do something with it?

Re: Discussion

[knighttoremember]

I could make it into something if I warmed it up, I guess.

Re: Discussion

[knighttoremember]

[rolls it over in his hands...]

... Of course I have no idea what I'd make it into.

Re: Discussion

[knighttoremember]

Maybe a ball.

A wax ball.

Hey.

Think of something good?

Re: Discussion

[knighttoremember]

Ah... not really? I sort of thought...

[well you were probably listening in on what i thought because I was doing it out loud!!!]

... Well, wax can be molded a little.

Re: Discussion

[mylittlecavallone]

Right. It's got a nice amount of diversity when it comes to copying other things.

Re: Discussion

[knighttoremember]

But I'm not sure I could make it into something complicated... I was just thinking I could roll it into a ball.

Re: Discussion

[mylittlecavallone]

Well, do we really need something complicated? Simple's pretty good too.

Re: Discussion

[knighttoremember]

We could scratch a smiley face into it if we wanted to get fancy.

Re: Discussion

[mylittlecavallone]

Sounds like a solid plan.

Re: Discussion

[knighttoremember]

All right, let's do that.

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?

Re: Final Decision

[mylittlecavallone]

I think we'll be keeping it.

Final Description

Re: Discussion

[knighttoremember]

... Well, it's a happy ball. Maybe you could have conversations with it.

Re: Discussion

[mylittlecavallone]

We could stick grass on one side to give it hair.

Re: Discussion

[knighttoremember]

[nods]

I guess if we were trying to find a use for it, though, it'd have to be the kind of use that depends on it looking like a person.

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?
