dramatispersonae | Game 225: Iolite

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.

~

Well the carving should be easy enough. A dragon?

A dragon would work, yeah!

I'm not sure what to do about attributes, though.

Hm... I think "independent" is still true. What about "friendly" and "dedicated"?

Friendly and dedicated sounds good!

[Not remarking on independent for some reason.]

[ruffles her hair and then picks up the bone to start carving]

Attribute 1: Independent
Attribute 2: Friendly
Attribute 3: Dedicated
Symbol: a simple stylized dragon, neatly carved

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."

~

Granted powers is it? What do you think about flight?

Flight works pretty well, yeah!

Hm... What else then?

Hmm... Some sort of support power would be nice... Healing would probably be too simple though... Maybe the ability to transfer someone's wounds to yourself?

Hm... That would work. A painful way to heal someone, but self-sacrifice isn't unheard of on the team... though Obsidian might get upset by it.

Then, just one last one... We've got what happens if it's used on ourselves, and what happens when it's used on someone else, so we should... Probably figure out what happens if it's used on an object?

Hm... I don't think anyone's skills extend to that really. Maybe levitate an object? Telekinesis?

Either would work! Even just levitating would be really useful!

Telekinesis would include the levitating, and probably more, so let's go that way, hm?

Yeah, that sounds good!

Power 1: ability to fly
Power 2: ability to transfer injuries to one's self to heal another
Power 3: telekinesis

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.

~

...Someone put existing as a power...?

... You know... I'm not even going to question that one.

Well, I... Can't really help at all for the first part. For powers... I'd kind of like increasing bravery and courage or standing together always.

How about singing radiantly as our third then?

Oh, that works pretty well! Let's go with singing radiantly, then!

Well... that's the easy part at least. Hm... for the teams themselves...

The first I would say Tiger's Eye. The sixth is Emerald. Hm... the ninth might be Amethyst. [ponders] Ten for Carnelian maybe. Twelve is Onyx. Thirteen might be Coral. Fourteen for Heliodor. Fifteen Kunzite and sixteen Ruby.

Tiger's Eye is the first one...?

[It feels like every time I meet a Tiger's Eye I worry about them. This knowledge doesn't help.]

Hm? Perhaps. It's difficult to say if making pies still runs as strongly in their team as it did before.

Edited 2013-10-09 01:31 (UTC)

Oh, so it's the pie that did it... That makes sense then.

[I'm still concerned that "emotionally stunted" is one of the terms they use to describe themselves.]

Let's see what we have then...

Oh... I guess Coral's not playing...

Edited 2013-10-09 01:48 (UTC)

Still, we have over half of them! At this point, it's probably easier to figure out which one matches them most closely...

Umm... Could you tell me a bit about the ones we haven't picked out yet? It would probably help a bit if I knew something about them.

Hm... Peridot is rather practical and loyal to each other. It's difficult to say from there. I've never been very close to the team, but Dragonfly of Coral does have a twin on that team.

Why don't we give Peridot the one we were going to give to Coral, then? I don't know if it'll work, but it's worth a try!

That works for me.

Then... What should we do about the six that are left... Just pick them at random?

The Free Sword Sterlings could be the sword in the shield... If so, the "loyal to what they choose" option could go to the oath sworn Sterlings. Hm... Sapphire with the dog, probably. Hm... Jasper the knife... I guess that leave Turquoise as secretive but... hm...

...But you think that's wrong?

[shrugs slightly]

It seems to fit best there, and double guessing ourselves is likely to make an even bigger mess. I'm not close to everyone on the team so it may be more apt than I'm aware of.

That's true. Let's go with what we've got written down, then.

There. I wonder if the correct answers will be listed out later.
