Turquoise - Game 198

You find yourself standing in a small, snowy clearing in a pine forest. It's nighttime and bitterly cold, moreso than Camelot; the stars go on forever, and there's a very bright full moon. You can see quite easily. There's a stone archway behind you, and through it you can see the Ring, still with the tables full of mead laid out. Scattered around the clearing are twenty-four free-standing wooden doors, carved and polished. They don't seem like they'd lead anywhere if you opened them, but well, #personae.

You find yourself standing in the middle of a broad field of wheat, ripe heads swaying in a summer breeze. It’s very warm and bright. A set of large, polished gold scales holds a mountain of golden coins in one cup and a yoked pair of cattle in the other. A heavy chain leads from the yoke to the hands of a man; he is frozen in the midst of offering it to a woman who holds a sheath of wheat under one arm.

... Well, this is summery...

Now we select an item...?

Something important?

[peering at the people]

It looks like they've already picked the cows over the money, huh?

Or they paid the money for the cows.

That's possible... Either way the cows are important, right? But I think that's probably just symbolic of something. Freedom? Self-sufficiency?

Well, let's see. There's cows, and gold on the scale, and he's trading it to the lady in exchange for wheat...?

Or he's just giving it to her because he likes her. Maybe they're in love.

They might be married...

[ hum hum. ]

We're supposed to take something, right?

Right. So I think something that'd be the most valuable everywhere else.

... Let's take the sun.

Yes, warm!

I am surprised. I was not expecting this.

I'm counting it as good luck.

Good luck... Really...

[just letting you and naoto do the deciding, /UNHELPFUL]

Yep! A positive outlook won't hurt me.

...

I hope you can keep that outlook. It suits you.
