Game 225: Kunzite

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 Kunzite...

... Tea? Kindness... and... love? Hmm...

You forgot the most important one!

What is it?

"Cute," of course!

[l-laughs]

So... cute... love, and what else?

I'd certainly say "strong," or something similar. "Sturdy," "resolute"...

I like resolute!

Great, then we're settled! "Cute," "resolute," and "love"... Or "loving," maybe?

And our symbol should be a teacup, obviously!

Cute, resolute, loving, and a teacup. We're a lot more than that, though, not that we can show it.

The majesty of Kunzite can't be contained in just a couple words! But it'll have to do for now. ♥

Attribute 1: Cute
Attribute 2: Resolute
Attribute 3: Loving
Symbol: A simple drawing of a teacup with a few lines of steam coming from it

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."

Uhm... magic. It should grant magic, at least.

[giggles] Well, that's a given! But there's all different sorts of magic, you know.

I already know what mine is, of course. As for what your magic would be... Any ideas?

[almost automatically:]

Singing.

Haha, of course...! And through that, bringing enjoyment to other people, right?

Mm! That's what that sort of magic could do. It makes people happy.

So, so far we have my "magic to succeed in any endeavor" and your "magic to make people happy through song." Does that sound about right?

Yes!

We need one more, though. Uhm... the magic to ... always stand together?

[giggles]

That fits pretty well!

I thought so! I'll do it this time.

Power 1: magic to succeed in any endeavor
Power 2: magic to make people happy through song
Power 3: magic to always stand together

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.

Oh, one of these...

[tilts her head a bit]

The alcohol one is definitely Emerald.

... Really?

I guess Daiquiri's name is supposed to be a drink...

They have a real reputation for it, anyway!

... None of the others are really standing out to me as much... Well, to be perfectly honest, I can't say I know most of the teams that well.

—But I'll give it a shot! Jasper might be the "practical" one. Mm, and I bet the knights are the "protective" and "guardian" ones!

Edited 2013-10-09 01:12 (UTC)

Probably...!

I think the puppy might be Tiger's Eye, too. Melody has a teammate that's a wolf, so...

Well, you'd know better than I would—! We'll put that down.

And if we use that kind of logic, Iolite might be one with a dragon! [... there are two like that. hmm. ... okay well I am not an Iolite expert but I'm gonna assume "sex positive family" they are not.] —Pppprobably the first one, then.

As for "logical"... Maybe Amethyst?

Well, that knocks out about half of them...

I think so!

Uhm, I'm... not sure about anything else, though. I don't know the teams well enough.

Mmmn... I think Sapphire has a dog, so we'll go with that there! And then...

I think it's time to fall back on an age old technique.

What is that? I didn't know there was a technique for this.

[CLOSES HER EYES AND TAKES A DEEP, DEEP BREATH]

[and starts ticking off the various lines on the list with her finger]

... Eenie meenie minie moe, catch a tiger by the toe...

. . .

[after a second of surprise, she just. cracks up.]

[grins at the laughter, and when she's done ticking off the list for each remaining team, ends up with these match-ups:

Ruby: Chaos. Adaption. Possibility. Triple interlocking spirals.
Citrine: Pragmatic. Motivated. Stubborn. A rose.
Carnelian: Secretive. Existent. Friendly. A clock-wise swirl.
Heliodor: Strong. Willful. Brave. A shield set in a circle surrounded by sun rays.
Peridot: Trust. Beauty. Treasures family. A fish.
Turquoise: Emotionally stunted. Well-intentioned. Brave. A pie.
Onyx: Almost irreparably messed up. Sex positive. Family. An outlined dragon.]

So, that should be good enough, right?

Mm! That should be fine.

... We still need to do abilities too, don't we? Uhm... singing radiantly? That's technically not the one that we put in.

[nudges her a little] Sounds like that friend of yours might be playing, huh? We can put that down, sure.

Hmm, as for me... I think I'd choose "Telling what someone's motivations are." So now we just need one more!

There are two of them. Melody on Tiger's Eye, and Daiquiri on Emerald.

Uhm... how about... calming negative emotions?

[blinks] You have someone from your world on Emerald, too?

—Ah, and that works just fine! So it looks like we've got a list.

Alright!

And she's not from our world, but Daiquiri is an idol, too. I'm not sure if she's the same kind of idol and Melody and I, but ... she's really good at singing, and she likes performing with us!
