[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.”

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

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.

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