✿ IOLITE

You find yourself in a musty rectangular room floored with tatami. The room is not large, but luckily fits your team without seeming too claustrophobic. It seems to have been set up as a sort of study. There is a low desk against one wall, covered in stacks of paper cards and writing utensils. Near the desk are, of course, cushions for everyone to sit on. A circular latticed window is set into the wall perpendicular to the desk. Bright moonlight filters through, enough to provide illumination for your task. If you look through the window, you can just barely make out the shapes of a shadowy garden beyond and below… you must be at least on the second floor.

The other end of the room is dominated by a large apothecary's chest. There are many, many drawers, but none of them open save for the fourteen in the middle that have been painted with team colors. A hand-lettered sign has been placed on top of the chest: "Please turn in your stories here."

I get a team I've already met this time. More or less. Makes for a nice change...

You've worked with Iolite before, then?

[See, that makes you sound somewhat trustworthy!]

... I've spent some time with Iolites before. Never in a game.

Ah, is that how it is...?

Probably be easier if we were all drunk. Everyone here's got a sob story.

Then... how should we win here, Jean?

I...guess. I don't really drink.

...Yes. I don't think we've ever been told to write a story like this before. But I've also missed a lot of games...

You're new, aren't you.

Well... we could take turns, or we could all come up with the most depressing biography we can, and then mix and match.

It's not strictly necessary.

Re: Discussion

Right.

I guess we could base it off of someone's life, if we didn't have better ideas. It just seems kind of mean that way.

I don't remember enough for it to be me.

But if we all put together the worst details we've got...

That's one way to do it, yeah. It's kind of personal, though. Why don't we just...answer the questions?

I guess we can use details of our lives if we think they'd work. I just don't know it'd be, ah... Sad enough?
