♘ Citrine

[dramatispersonae]

[ You find yourself within a great hall. It's not much warmer inside than it was outside, unless you move closer to the fireplace. However, on the long table at the back of the room, there is a great feast spread out. Every delicious food or drink that you could desire is somehow there.

At the head of the table, you'll find a sealed letter, paper in all the colors of the rainbow, and some crafting supplies. ]

♘ Part One

[dramatispersonae]

[ Once the seal is broken and the letter open, the Green Knight's voice fills the room. The instructions can also be read on the letter:

"Heroes, your task is to design a gift for another team. You will not know the identify of the team that will receive your gift, nor will they know who it is from. Design something creative and useful for this exchange of gifts, and you will be rewarded. Use the supplies provided to write a description, sketch out, or design a model of your gift. Any knight assisting a team during this game will receive a small boon at the end." ]

((OOC: You have an hour and a half to design a gift for another team. You character will ~magically~ know that the gift must be something small to medium sized that can easily fit into team living spaces. Anything super technological is right out, as are living creatures. If you are unsure about your gift, just pm me in irc!))

[sticking close to the fire to warm up yes]

No idea who we're making it for...hmm...

Re: ♘ Discussion

[inherited]

Something practical would be the best idea, then. Something they wouldn't mind keeping.

Re: ♘ Discussion

[fullmoonblooms]

Cooking supplies and equipment? Lots of teams have people that like to cook.

Re: ♘ Discussion

[chibisama]

Though we might run a risk of giving them something they've got already, unless it's something pretty specialized they wouldn't have gotten around to questing for...

[also waving, favorite knight '^']

Re: ♘ Discussion

[inherited]

Maybe something to help with laundry.

Re: ♘ Discussion

[fullmoonblooms]

[waves back]

Hmm, that could be a problem then...Furniture was my other idea but unless we can come up with something unique, more people probably already have it.

Maybe some sort of special notebook? People always have a use for those, don't they?

[so Jr. has sketched out a contraption that, at least hypothetically, would be a hand-cranked washtub, except in place of the crank is a foot pedal within lazy-dangling reach of a hammock strung between two poles, one of which also has drying-rack bars]

[it's the lazy laundry!]

♘ Part Two

[dramatispersonae]

[ Suddenly, the table is cleared of all food and a wrapped parcel appears in the center of it. More instructions have appeared on the letter, and the Green Knight's voice fills the room again:

"Now, Heroes . . . open your gift. Once you have examined it, make a guess as to which team designed it for you." ]

((OOC: You have 30 minutes to submit your guess.))

♘ Your gift is...

Re: ♘ Your gift is...

[dramatispersonae]

[a thick, fuzzy pure white comforter, that is really soft, washable, and almost impossible to get dirty! there's team colored piping or tassels that can be added according to who gets it, and in fact, the whole blanket is a diy — it comes with a ton of patches in various shapes that can be sewn on. Aather animals, plants, or landmarks, geometric shapes in various colors, fireworks, keys, etc — basically anything the team can imagine that'd be neutral to friendly when they started constructing whatever scene they'd want. there's a "stuff they'd like" note added to this part so the team who gets it can customize their choices some too.]

[burying his hands in it]

Thank you! Whoever you are.

...uh...

[wow I have no idea]

Re: ♘ Discussion

[fullmoonblooms]

It's soft and cozy...I wish I had an idea of who it was from.

Re: ♘ Discussion

[inherited]

Is there a team that likes ... cuddling?

[spoken awkwardly]

Re: ♘ Discussion

[fullmoonblooms]

Um...I've only really cuddled with other knights so I don't know about teams.

Peridot has a new teammate that's really young though. A kid would like something cuddly, right?

Re: ♘ Discussion

[fullmoonblooms]

Oh, that looks cozy.
