Tiger's Eye

[dramatispersonae]

[ 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. ]

Oh, it's this game again.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bunny_ears]

Played before?

Re: DISCUSSION

[genderbinary]

Yes, some time ago. It's basically noun and adjective matching, but we get to decide the criteria for choosing after the first round.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bunny_ears]

Okay. So that's why we need to make up nouns and adjectives.

Re: DISCUSSION

[genderbinary]

Correct. They'll be passed around between teams after this point, so we need to come up with five adjectives and twenty nouns.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bunny_ears]

Well, there's four of us, so we can each give five nouns.

Re: DISCUSSION

[genderbinary]

That's a good way to split it up.

Re: DISCUSSION

[goneastray]

Mm, this one was fun!

Re: DISCUSSION

[genderbinary]

What sort of criteria should we choose this time?

Re: DISCUSSION

[goneastray]

Joy likes holidays.

Re: DISCUSSION

[genderbinary]

Holidays, hm? There's New Years, Valentine's Day, White Day, Golden Week, Hina Matsuri, Tanabata, Obon, Christmas, Halloween...

Re: DISCUSSION

[goneastray]

And let's use funny words for the other ones.

Re: DISCUSSION

[genderbinary]

In what way?

[ eating an apple ]

Game?

[genderbinary]

Yes. We need to come up with twenty nouns and five adjectives to begin with.

[karlsefni]

What're those?

Re: DISCUSSION

[genderbinary]

[reads him the description]

Since there are four of us, we can each come up with five nouns.

[karlsefni]

.. So "noun" is a thing. [ uhmmm ]

"Apple"?

[genderbinary]

Yes, that's right. You could come up with five different foods and use those.

[goneastray]

Mm, it's a nice one though.

[karlsefni]

[ (unsure) ]

Looks boring to me. I dunno what any of this is.

[goneastray]

We just have to come up with words. Then we get to match our words with everyone else's.

[karlsefni]

Why would you match words up? I don't get it.

[goneastray]

Mm... it's like if their word is clothes, maybe you have a word like warm to describe them. Points go to the favorite choice!
