Game 225: Sapphire

Your team table is still there, along with a small patch of ground and your benches, there's just--nothing else. It's very dark, and bitterly cold, except for a few torches that have appeared around your table and a waning moon amongst a sea of stars.

On the table, along with your mead, is a single bone disk, an awl, and a leather bag.

Joe's voice comes out of nowhere. "Name three attributes of your team, and carve a symbol. Speak your answers out loud and put the bone in the bag when you're done."

You'll find that the awl carves the bone like butter, almost like drawing with a pen.

OOC: The symbol should be fairly simple, to as to be crudely carved on a small disk, and contain no letters, numbers, or colors. Verbal description or a quick graphic both welcome.

Three attributes of Sapphire...

Stubbornness.

[--laughs]

That's definitely the first.

'Individualistic' would be my suggestion.

And for the third, how about 'charming'?

Attribute 1: Stubbornness
Attribute 2: Individualistic
Attribute 3: Charming
Symbol: A very simple carving of a puppy

With a little shudder, the bag spits your disk back out; whatever you carved is now burned in neatly and painted in red. "If this were a charm or spell, what three powers would it grant? They need not be related to your attributes, but you could start with those if you wish. Again, speak your answers out loud and put the bone in the bag when you're done."

[HMMMMM.]

Healing would be a good start.

[Nods!]

And . . . an inventory, maybe?

It would be nice if everyone on the team had access to one...

The third one would be a bit more difficult.

Power 1: Healing
Power 2: Inventory
Power 3: Summon a storm of fish and bad fashion

A long scroll unrolls from the bag, along with a quill and inkwell. This is on the scroll.

"Of the sets of attributes listed, tell me which you believe was spoken by which team. For the sake of this game, the knights of Sterling have been divided into free swords and those who are sworn to Personae. If you have no insight, you may leave any or all blank."

"Of the powers listed, tell me which three you would most like to have at your disposal. Do not list what you originally put in."

OOC: For attributes, just put down the number from the list. I've consolidated similar powers into one--for example if two teams put down flying, there would only be one flying power listed. (But if one put down flying and one put down sprouting wings, those would be two different entries.) So if you see a power that's identical in function but differently worded to something you submitted, don't vote for it.

...I'm fairly confident that the Independent team with the dragon is Iolite. They're unlikely to consider themselves 'almost irreparably messed up'.

Kunzite for the teacup?

[nods]

The shields are likely to be knights. 'Loyal to what they choose' makes me think it's either those in Sterling with a patron, or Onyx.

...Chaos with the three spirals is likely Ruby.

[looks over the list again]

The fish could be Coral . . . ?
