dramatispersonae

Citrine

[ You are sitting in small, dark room with earthen walls, and no window or doors – but it’s filled with apples. There’s a fireplace embedded in one wall, with a cheerfully roaring fire. The dirt floor is covered in a plush Persian carpet and an array of cushions, and in front of the fire is a low table. On the table is a pencil with an eraser, twenty red slips of paper, five green slips of paper, and one rolled up scroll. Unrolled, it reads:

Let’s keep this one easy for everyone.

Write one noun on every red slip of paper (that’s a person, place, or thing, like “Aather” or “Cheshire” or “cat”). Write one adjective (that describes a noun, like “clever”) on every green slip of paper – oh, and rank them, so I know which ones are your favorites. Toss them all into the fire when you’re finished.

You’re forbidden to use team names.

The note is signed with an inky pawprint. ]

Words...

Do you not like word games?

They're not bad, but they're kinda boring.

-- um, do you want to do the writing? My handwriting's kind of... awful.

[ also dyslexia ]

Sure. No problem.

Do you want to do ten nouns each, since we have twenty? Then we can do two adjectives each and...figure something out for the last one.

Sure.

... apple's a noun, right.

That's right. A noun is a person, place or thing, and an apple counts as a thing.

... apple, Beauty, Maleficent, Cheshire, Persephone, Three of Three, ship, the Ring, the Book, chocolate.

[writes down all ten...]

And lets see...Cat, yarn, potato, library, castle, cloud, hat, sword, knight and...tree? How are those?

I like them. Especially sword and potato.

I'm glad. Now we need adjectives like...Brilliant and brave.

Heroic? Delicious?

Those are good too! And maybe fluffy, in case we need to describe an animal.

Which one of those do you want most?

I like brave.

So brave will be first. Then heroic, brilliant, delicious and fluffy in that order?

Fine with me.

So we're done? That was fast.

We seem to work well together.

Well, you're pretty nice.

[ appears at the most (in)opportune moment?? ]

What's up?

Ahghh... hi, Annabeth!

[ yes this is my suspicious face! ]

Is it a good game so far? I wasn't exactly planning on jumping into anything.

T-Thank you...You're pretty nice too.

[ a little abashed that annabeth came in right then... ]

[...I don't even get what's going on.]

[ Please remember to number your adjectives, but NOT your nouns. ]

NOUN: apple, Beauty, Maleficent, Cheshire, Persephone, Three of Three, ship, the Ring, the Book, chocolate, cat, yarn, potato, library, castle, cloud, hat, sword, knight, tree.

3. brilliant

[ Several things get spit out of the fire and land on the table.

One is a green slip of paper. It says:

BRAVE

Then there are fifteen red slips of paper. They say:

Beauty
Cheshire
Persephone
Three of Three
Ship
The Ring
Chocolate
Yarn
Potato
Castle
Cloud
The Book

There is also another scroll. It reads:

Each team has been given one of their adjectives to judge. You need to submit one noun that the judging team will think suits the adjective. But remember that your peers often a little strange, hm?

...Having so many Personae will probably make this a little trickier, if we're worried about offending them.

I don't think they'll mind much. It's a game.

And we don't have 'Mother' for any of them so we should be okay...

We could send 'chocolate' to Carnelian, since they have delicious as their word. And maybe 'ship' to Amethyst too.

Edited 2013-02-27 02:14 (UTC)

What about 'cat' to Kunzite?

[writes out some ideas:

CORAL: Hat
RUBY: Maleficent
JASPER: Cheshire
CARNELIAN: Chocolate
TIGER’S EYE: Castle
HELIODOR: Three of Three
PERIDOT: Cloud
EMERALD: Potato
TURQUOISE: Persephone
SAPPHIRE: Yarn
AMETHYST: Ship
KUNZITE: Cat

spare words:
Beauty
The Ring
The Book]

How's that?

[ considers. . . ]

That looks pretty good. I don't think I'd want to change anything.

Oh good. A lot of these are tricky.

. . . Boys in dresses . . .

[ . . . snort. ]

These are pretty creative. Which ones do you like?

There's a lot of good ones...A brave hero, a brave magician...

...But brave boys in dresses might be my favorite.

Me too. Let's pick that one.

Let's do it!
