JASPER

[dramatispersonae]

You're in the Ring by yourselves this time, surrounded by the same columns on all sides--except this time there is no spacing between them whatsoever, and the vines seem thicker.

A statue about four feet tall stands in the middle of the room; it is a woman in a simple tunic carved from white marble, but her head is missing. Although it's clearly a solid statue, it seems that the limbs can be moved and manipulated to imitate other positions.

Next to the statue is a chest (somehow) containing all of the following:

A round shield made of bronze
A boa constrictor (yes, it's alive)
A guitar with strap
A pair of thick horn-rimmed hipster glasses
A fedora
A bonnet
A mohawk
Platform shoes
A lei made of seashells
A belt of knives
A makeup kit
A peacock feather
A gun holster with guns in it
A pink mini-skirt
A clown nose
Fuzzy earmuffs
A pair of Groucho Marx glasses
A butcher's knife
Lipstick
A pair of striped arm-warmers
A pair of striped leg-warmers
A bodice
A cigar
A jeweled sword
Golden armlets
A pearl necklace
A series of shrunken severed heads on a string
A pair of black leather gloves
A cape
A wooden staff
Gold paint
A pair of sandals
A Hawaiian shirt
A big red bow
A spear
A blowtorch
A pair of black high heels
A pair of stick-on fuzzy eyebrows
A bow
A quiver of arrows
A long-stemmed pipe
A simple cloth shoulder-bag
An apron
A pair of fairy wings
A necklace of pure-cut diamonds
A blank journal
A golden crown of laurels, broken in twain
Glass-blown orbs in various colors
Purple nailpolish
A baby doll
A blindfold
A leather jacket
A plain white t-shirt
A simple, unadorned clay pot. ...?

Iron Ninja Fluffy!

Re: DISCUSSION

[debossy]

Is that a name?!

Re: DISCUSSION

[mysong]

Of course it is.

Re: DISCUSSION

[debossy]

Hmph . . . it sounds ludicrous! But I will allow you to name her as you see fit. After all, a proper ninja should have a Japanese name, and I am not Japanese, and I have forgotten how to speak it. I know only the names of some of my classmates.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mysong]

Iron Ninja Fluffy is perfectly Japanese, like Iron Chef.

Re: DISCUSSION

[debossy]

What is Iron Chef? A Japanese title of honor?

Re: DISCUSSION

[mysong]

Indeed. An Iron Chef is the best chef in the country. So an Iron Ninja would be the best too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[debossy]

I have never heard of such a thing . . . how fascinating. How is it determined who the Iron Chef is?

Re: DISCUSSION

[mysong]

With Iron Chefs, they give you a special ingredient and you have a time limit to make the best meal you can with it. Those who make the best meals earn their titles.

Re: DISCUSSION

[debossy]

What a competitive culture the Japanese have! I would like to witness one of these competitions.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mysong]

It was TV! I watched all the cooking shows I could!

Re: DISCUSSION

[debossy]

Aha, I see. They televise these events? Unfortunately, we do not have any such thing here . . . though I have heard Turquoise is questing for one.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mysong]

Maybe we can ask them if we can borrow it sometime.

Re: DISCUSSION

[debossy]

I am unconvinced the device will even work . . . but perhaps it will run by magic.

Re: DISCUSSION

[debossy]

. . . A name?
