Amethyst - 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.

Pick a door, any door! Which is to say, pick a number from 1 to 24 to stick under "Room Selection." You'll then get your room. Once you're done there, please note what item your team chose and what magic you believe it would convey, under "Answer."

I'm not sure I have a particular attachment to any specific number...

((OOC: jjjust about to walk home from work, skip me until I'm back if you like))

[looks at the doors, considering for a second]

... 15!

Sure, why not.

Best to go with your gut instinct with stuff like this.

Either way, it's just picking a random number at this point.

That's what I meant! So let's not think too much about it and just go.

You are floating high, high in the clouds, and for a few heartstopping moments it might seem like there’s nothing supporting you--and then you realize that your feet are, indeed, resting on something. A rainbow. It stretches down behind you, branching and twining and disappearing into the clouds. It’s quite cold, the air is thin, but the sun is bright upon you. Before you, the rainbow touches ground upon a floating island. At the head of the bridge, barring your way, stands a great elk carved of wood, head lowered, a tremendous sharp-tined rack of antlers forming the gate to the floating land.

. . .

[goddammit it's peter pan's game all over again]

Whoa!

[totally sliding down along the rainbow, yup]

O-Oi-!

[why couldn't I have just been alone for this game sIGH

he'll just stay where he is and start contemplating the scenery]

[Will stay with him, um]

What do you think...?

The most important or powerful, huh...?

[contemplates...]

The sun would be an obvious choice.

Without sun there'd be no warmth, no light to make the rainbow, no food for plants so the tree wouldn't have grown that was carved into that elk...

[nod]

It's essentially the reason any of this can exist, the Personas' powers notwithstanding.

...Except for the floating island. I can't really explain that one.

I guess we could comment on gravity too...

Gravity's certainly powerful, but there may not be a sun in every room.

Plus if the island's floating, it's not the strongest thing here. I'm fine with the sun.

That's a fair point, actually.

All right, the sun it is.

YOU ARE SLIDING THROUGH THE SKYYYYYY~

You can catch blurry glimpses of earth between the clouds at times--though it seems to be wildly different every time you look. Fertile fields, icy crags...never a solid glimpse though.

And it'll probably drop you back at the start in not too long.

Room: 15
Item: The sun
Magic: It's the source of warmth and light that allows the rainbow to exist, as well as the tree that was used to carve the elk.
