TURQUOISE

[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. ...?

FIRST TASK

[dramatispersonae]

". . ."

... Your directions are suddenly planted into your mind. They are as follows:

Embellish the statue with the accessories from the wardrobe in order to strengthen its appearance, for however you choose to define that. You may use as many as you like. When you turn-in your finished statue, please include why you consider your choices strengthening.

TURN IN

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

... There's a lot of stuff in here.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fullmoonblooms]

[picking up the blowtorch]

I don't even know what most of these things are.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

... Well that one you might wanna put back down.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fullmoonblooms]

[...puts it back down]

[pointing her knife at the boa constrictor]

We must decorate a headless statue in order to strengthen its appearance... it would help if we could give the statue a head.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

Thanks. Anyway, let's check with Echo for ideas.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

... We're not using the snake's, are we?

Re: DISCUSSION

[fullmoonblooms]

-- Don't hurt it!

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

No. A human statue does not need a snake head.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fullmoonblooms]

All right. She usually has good ideas.

[...so long as they're not 'decapitate snakes']

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

[ Taking the spear to try and... nudge the snake away... ]

It's not that bad...

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

I will not. Only if it decides to attack us.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

Yeah.

[ We might need to keep an eye on her and that snake... ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[fullmoonblooms]

It seems like a nice snake so it...Probably won't hurt us.

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

It was unexpected.

[lowering her knife and pulling out the stringed shrunken heads]

These are too small.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

We could bundle up some of the excess clothes in the cape and make a head out of that?

Re: DISCUSSION

[dramatispersonae]

[y u not love snake]

[ssss :<~]

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

[nods]

A well-behaved snake. I will not complain about that.

I have glanced into the chest, and I do not see anything that could be used as a head. Everything is too small. Perhaps I should not focus on the head. Should we try to strengthen this stature through other means...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

[jiiiiiiiiiiiii]

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

It would not look like a head. I would be ashamed to have a head like that, if I were a statue.

Perhaps we must accomplish this task through other means.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mylittlecavallone]

[ Chuckles a bit. ]

Alright, if nothing else we could just make a veil around one of those orbs where the head should be to cover up the fact that it's not a real head.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fullmoonblooms]

That'll be best. We can give her a sword and shield, if you'd like?
