♘ 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?

Re: ♘ Discussion

[chibisama]

[all excellent ideas yes]

And anything I could come up with in the fancy kitchen equipment department would be too high-tech...

Maybe a hammock, in the furniture department...laundry could also be very handy, if we can come up with something that doesn't hit the tech limits.

What sort of notebook are you thinking of?

Re: ♘ Discussion

[inherited]

It depends on what the notebook would do.

Re: ♘ Discussion

[fullmoonblooms]

I was thinking it would be nice to have a notebook you could put nice Aather memories into it and be able to share them that way, but that sort of magic might be a bit much for a game.

Re: ♘ Discussion

[chibisama]

[considering that for a moment, and then addressing the ceiling]

Pardon me, tall green gentleman, would that sort of magic be a bit much for a game?

Re: ♘ Discussion

[dramatispersonae]

I am afraid that it would be.

Re: ♘ Discussion

[chibisama]

[aww sigh]

Okay, thanks. [nodding at Estelle] Good idea though.

So...hammock or laundry widget or something else?

Re: ♘ Discussion

[inherited]

Laundry, yeah.

Re: ♘ Discussion

[fullmoonblooms]

Oh well...The hammock is probably a good idea though. I don't think anyone has one of those. Maybe combine that with the laundry widget somehow?

Re: ♘ Discussion

[chibisama]

Combine it...now that's an idea, if we can figure out how. Work and leisure in one.

I guess we should figure out how a laundry widget would work first, yeah?

Re: ♘ Discussion

[fullmoonblooms]

Hmm...If we're hanging up the hammock, maybe the laundry widget should allow people to hang up wet clothing to dry? That way the person doing laundry can nap in the hammock.

Re: ♘ Discussion

[chibisama]

That could work...

[deep in thought for a few moments]

So when people do laundry here, they kind of beat it around in a bucket for a while, right? What if we could make a...a thing that could beat it, since a proper wash-wand is too high-tech?

Re: ♘ Discussion

[fullmoonblooms]

Oh! Maybe we could make a wind-powered laundry beater!

Re: ♘ Discussion

[chibisama]

Though if it's inside, there won't be wind...but maybe somebody could like flop in the hammock and then pedal it lazily with one foot or something?

Re: ♘ Discussion

[fullmoonblooms]

That'll probably be better.

Re: ♘ Discussion

[inherited]

... Do we have enough wind here?

Re: ♘Final Gift Design

[chibisama]

[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!]
