Sapphire

[ 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. ]

...It would be too predictable if we were to use food as our noun.

Huh, really? ... so, then what?

Ah, a knight. Perfect. We can come up with ten nouns each and your contributions will be less likely to be connected to Sapphire.

[pauses]

Which may be irrelevant if these cards aren't meant to be connected to us later. But it'll be best to be cautious.

Oooh, strategy? Yeah, okay. I guess there's no one else here? Not even Yuki?

Only you and me...The others may come by later, but they'd be able to catch up quickly when they do.

[taking ten of the red papers and two of the green ones before handing the rest to Kazuki]

...Which teams do you know best?

Coral and Turquoise.

Anti-heroic and friendly...We could probably send monster or mist to Coral, though I wouldn't know where to start with Turquoise.

We got a few good words for Coral, but monster works for now! Turquoise... adventure?

If you have a better suggestion for Coral, it'll be good to hear it. In case we need to use Monster for something else.

We can send Adventure to Turquoise...And perhaps 'Princess' to Kunzite.

[ This comes out of the fire!

Please use this thread (in this post) to discuss your favorite, and submit your answer here.

You may proceed to endgame when you've sent in your answer. ]

...I'm inclined to choose 'art' myself.

Pfft, I'd go for cake!

That would depend on the cake...and I imagine they're attempting to appeal to our food policy again.

...But it is tempting.

Yeah... well if we wanna go for something really unexpected, what about lizard?

Colorful lizard...I like the way you think.
