Game 225: Sterling Free Swords

[dramatispersonae]

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.

Comments

ROUND 1

[dramatispersonae]

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.

Protective, honorable, and... stubborn?

Isn't a knight's symbol a sword?

ROUND 2

[dramatispersonae]

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."

How about fearlessness?

Re: DISCUSS

What if we could cast a charm to make people just want to have fun?

[sinaesthete]

Why not a spell of protection?

Power 1: Spell of protection.
Power 2: Charming people to make them want to have fun.
Power 3: Inspiring people.

ROUND 3

[dramatispersonae]

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.

Uh . . . Fifteen might be Kunzite?

All the teams in one, huh?

11 may be the other knights?

Sex positive should go to sunshine and fucking rainbows. Heliodor.

Re: DISCUSS

[overfloweth]

I'd want to be able to tell a person's true nature! That, and...taking away pain would be good, wouldn't it?

Oh, is existing really a power?

Six is probably Emerald.

A question for you, old-timer... are blanks and wrong guesses scored differently?

Re: ROUND 3

"No. The only thing I'll count on your end is how many you get right."
