SAPPHIRE

[The room is circular and surrounded by a series of ionic columns, the floor and ceiling stretching overhead fashioned out of cracked, white stone. The area beyond the columns is pitch black, and the room itself is lit only by dimly flickering candles. The candles rest on top of a stone table, which sits in the middle of the room.

And next to the candles rest four numbered boxes]

If we can keep them after the round, we may as well keep both and distribute them after the game. I doubt she'll allow for it though.

Do you think it's worth doing?

We'd have to ask...

[to the Personae:]

Would these bottles of hope be effective after the game?

They will not, though all those wounded will be healed.

...I see. So there may not be much point in giving these other than sheer rebellion.

[considering]

I like my rebellion to have meaning, what do you think?

[nods]

Giving these away will be a show of kindness to others, and will serve as a symbol of true hope. If there's a team that was likely to be attacked, an action like that could go a long way for them.

[thinking]

I think Carnelian might not hurt, since they tend to be shaky at times.

But I think it's good for us to keep a little, too. Hope is good for everyone.

There's a difference between the act of keeping what was found through good luck, and receiving a gift from someone.

I would want to give them to the teams most likely to walk away the game with feelings of hopeless. We have enough hope of our own that we don't need to keep a bottle for it.
