CITRINE

[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. ...?

Strength, huh...

[OOOOH GUN HOLSTER yeah tugging that out first]

Re: DISCUSSION

[aheroemerges]

Well, there's lots of weapons around, for a start...

Re: DISCUSSION

[chibisama]

Want to each pick a favorite? Also, hi, I'm Rubedo. What's your name?

Re: DISCUSSION

[aheroemerges]

Sure, that works. And I'm Thunder! Nice to meet you.

Re: DISCUSSION

[chibisama]

Good to meet you too.

[further investigation! *totally* zeroed in on those guns :D]

Re: DISCUSSION

[aheroemerges]

[checking out that jeweled sword :o]

Re: DISCUSSION

[chibisama]

[awesome!]

[also intrigued by the blank journal] Feel like getting symbolic, or just sticking with physical strength?

Re: DISCUSSION

[aheroemerges]

Sure, go for it, just don't rely on me for explaining the deep stuff!

Re: DISCUSSION

[chibisama]

[little grin] No problem. Anything else catching your eye?

Re: DISCUSSION

[aheroemerges]

[grabs the cape and gives it a swish]

A cool heroic guy's gotta have one of these!

Re: DISCUSSION

[chibisama]

Heck, yeah!

[holding up the golden armlets]

To complete the heroic look?

Re: DISCUSSION

[aheroemerges]

Now we're talkin'!

Re: DISCUSSION

[chibisama]

[tucking the peacock feather into the fedora hatband]

Closest thing we've got to a swashbuckler hat...

Re: DISCUSSION

[aheroemerges]

Heh, good thinking! So now he's armed and he's got the look. What else do we need...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[chibisama]

[dressing her up as planned, and tucking the notebook into her free hand]

Knowledge is power too...let's see...man, no good boots, and a lot of really random stuff none of which looks particularly strong.

Re: DISCUSSION

[aheroemerges]

Yeah, I think we got most of the good stuff...

Re: DISCUSSION

[chibisama]

Sandals, just because adventuring with no shoes sucks but adventuring in high heels would suck more? And then I think that's it...

Re: DISCUSSION

[aheroemerges]

Sounds good to me!

Re: DISCUSSION

[chibisama]

All right!

[finishing up, and then hand up for high-fives]

Re: DISCUSSION

[aheroemerges]

[high five!!]
