[GROUP ONE]

[dramatispersonae]

You're in a small dome-shaped chamber, the walls and floor made of white frosted glass. It's cool here.

In the middle of the floor is a small flame, with no apparent source of fuel. Arranged around it are five gleaming copper objects, each labelled:

• a tiny watering can (GROWTH)
  
• a winding watch the size of your thumbnail, which you can set to run backwards or forwards (TIME)
  
• a heart (CARE)
  
• a mesh bag full of copper flakes (STRENGTH)
  
• a lump of what seems to be metallic clay, which you can mold into whatever shape you want (CHOICE)

“Feed the flame,” Firebird says. “Today is for creation. Consider what you may make, and why.”

[tries another piece, and politely waiting until she's done to speak again]

I wonder if my team would like them. They say they are tired of cabbage.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthreehestrays]

A bit of variety is always desirable, I think.

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

That is true. I may try to gather some of this 'mango' after this game for them.

Thank you for introducing me to such a fruit.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthreehestrays]

You're very welcome! I hope your teammates enjoy them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

They ought to...

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthreehestrays]

[going to swipe another piece of mango if Echo will let him]

It certainly tastes very different from cabbage.

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

[she let's him; she holds the mango pieces out further towards him after he takes another piece]

Absolutely. This is sweet. Cabbage is... not.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthreehestrays]

[yay mango pieces :3]

I suppose you could cook it so it tasted sweet, but no, it isn't sweet by itself at all.

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

I could add sugar to the boiling cabbage...

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthreehestrays]

That would be one way to do it, certainly.

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

Breeze promised to show me how to cook cabbage differently.





I wonder if she will show me to boil cabbage with sugar.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthreehestrays]

Maybe! At the very least, you can ask her if there's a recipe for such a dish.

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

I shall ask.



But I cannot imagine how it would taste.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthreehestrays]

[I guess this is the part where I OOCly apologize to Turquoise...]

Then tasting it is the only way to find out!

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

[i'm not sure they will accept your apology now]

I shall try making some on my own... tomorrow.

You are welcome to try some, too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthreehestrays]

[how was Cat supposed to know Echo was a cabbage fiend]

How generous of you to offer. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd certainly like to visit Turquoise.

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

It is settled. You are to come over to Turquoise tomorrow to try boiled sugared cabbage. It can be at any time. I am lazy and it is easy to prepare.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthreehestrays]

Very well! I'll look forward to seeing you then.
