PERIDOT

You're standing together on what seems to be the main street of a small village, paved with cobblestones, with low buildings standing silent on either side. If you look in any of them, you'll find them dark and empty.

In contrast to the Ring, it's rather chilly. The sky is slate-grey, and it seems like there's snow falling, blanketing you and the village in pure white. On closer inspection, the snow turns out to be ash – but the bleaching is literal. Even when you brush it off, your skin, your hair, your clothes, and your keys remain ash-coloured.

A single, feeble light flickers further down the street.

I would like to try hands.

Hands...?

[that would definitely be better than mind or heart. He glances at the door...]

Food generally comes from your own hands.

... I think Raven's right, though. Hands might... get someone hurt-- and I'd rather not put them through that for their first game.

Are you sure . . .

If we're feeding a little girl, wouldn't it be best to put in some manual labor?

I'm not sure that's what it is.

If I have to give up a hand for the cause, I'm perfectly fine with doing so.

I can't let a girl do that!

I think we should stick with heart. That wasn't too bad...

I'm worried it'll escalate though, and... I don't like the idea of our emotions being played with.

If heart was emotion, though, hands sounds like it could be our physical body. I don't want any of you to get really hurt.

[he glances at the babydots and wrestles with this]

... Well... the emotions are temporary, right...?

If she wants to do hands, let her do hands!

[ Am I moving my fury into passive-aggressive bad decision enabling? Maybe. ]

[ Oh, well this is the kind of thing I can handle. ]

Thank you for your kind contribution.

Oh, think nothing of it!

The fact that you think that's a good idea right now just proves it's a bad one.

She knows it is one.

I could approve of it even if it's someone else, you know.

[hand on his head, ruffles. :(]

[ Tenses--!! But relaxes when he realizes what exactly is going on, trying not to snap at anyone else with remnant Rose fury. Also. Abwuh?? ]

I don't know if I'm...capable of handling heart. And considering the previous reactions...

It'll probably be something different from last time, at least. And hands might mean getting really hurt.

Do you think mind would be better?
