Emerald

[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. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

So, what do you think? Let's just go down the list. Anti-Heroic?

Re: DISCUSSION

[itsalluseless]

That's a pretty tough one. Demon, maybe?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sinaesthete]

I think we're beholden to the fifteen presented. Witch, perhaps?

Re: DISCUSSION

[itsalluseless]

Uh, my bad. Witch would work, yeah.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sinaesthete]

What about "Triumphant Dream"?

Re: ROUND THREE

[sinaesthete]

What do you think? I'm thinking... Indescribable miracles.

Re: ROUND THREE

[itsalluseless]

I was thinking of magic myself, but miracles are a good fit too.

Re: ROUND THREE

[sinaesthete]

Well... I've seen magic. But maybe it is indescribable.

Re: ROUND THREE

[itsalluseless]

I've tried to describe how magic works in my world a lot of times, but never seem to manage. So it definitely is that for me.

Re: ROUND THREE

[sinaesthete]

That's fine. Will you put in our answer?
