[ 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. ]

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

Re: DISCUSSION

[virtuallyroyalty]

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

Re: DISCUSSION

[glorious]

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.

Re: DISCUSSION

[virtuallyroyalty]

That'll definitely work. Triumphant Boss, for Ruby? And... eh, sharp glass for Jasper.

Re: DISCUSSION

[nods]

Those sound as good as any...If no-one on Emerald knows of the internet, we could send them an Indescribable Internet. And perhaps a Godly Light for Peridot.

Re: DISCUSSION

[virtuallyroyalty]

Nah, the internet works better for 'scandalous'! I like the idea for Peridot though.

Re: DISCUSSION

[glorious]

I'll trust your word on that. A mammoth machine for Amethyst...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[virtuallyroyalty]

Perfect! And, indescribable game for Emerald in that case. And... uh, toothless princess is pretty funny!

Re: DISCUSSION

[glorious]

[...laughs.]

We can go with humor for Princess. Let's see what we have so far...

Re: DISCUSSION

Uuuuh... delicious water? Cutest candle, brave shield? And then we're done.

Re: DISCUSSION

[glorious]

Sounds good!

...We could also switch to Anti-Heroic Mist for Coral and give Kunzite the Cutest Monster. They seem the sort to find that appealing.

Re: DISCUSSION

[virtuallyroyalty]

... nnno, go for mirror with Coral if you're gonna switch it that way.

Re: DISCUSSION

[glorious]

[--nods.]

I'll take your word for it.

[AND VOILA:

Yeah, go ahead and submit it!

Re: DISCUSSION

Excellent. Thank you for your help.
