Amethyst

[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.]

Round One

[dramatispersonae]

[Nick hands someone on your team a short, stout stick, with a hopeful smile.]

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

A stick.

... We're really beginning to reach new lows.

He's new to this. Besides, a stick could actually be useful compared to some of that stuff... I'm Silver, by the way. You must also be new.

We'll keep the stick.

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?

. . . I suppose it could be used to stir something?

Re: Discussion

[bluevalse]

Or a method of support.

Final Description

[dramatispersonae]

Re: Final Description

[bluevalse]

The best use we collectively agreed upon for this particular item would be as a weapon, given its durability and extension of range, not to mention its simplicity of use and allowance for more complex maneuvers should someone have the appropriate training.

Of course, this isn't to say that a weapon would be its only use, as we were quite able to imagine numerous other uses for it as well, but we shall leave its flexibility as a useful item to the imagination of its future user.

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?

A sword, correct?

Re: Discussion

[bluevalse]

Yes, it's a little too short for the other sort...

Final Description

Re: Final Description

[bluevalse]

Our stick shall become a sword, simple yet effective, to keep in mind its simple origins.

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.

Re: Discussion

What kind of names do swords have?

Re: Discussion

[bluevalse]

I hadn't been aware swords required names.

Amenyx the Timberfallen shall be its name!
