[The interior of the tent is slightly dim, light filtering only poorly through the paper. Instructions for Round One are already inscribed on the back wall of the tent.]

[Have you ever wondered what stories are built of? Or where Personae truly come from? It seems the current crop don’t suit all of you, and you’d prefer a Realm where you could make your own choices and work your own fates. But you’re afraid to pay the price for it.

Using no more than three of the pieces of detritus you salvaged from Camelot’s ash-heap, today we’ll craft a Persona together, and see if you can do a better job than Beauty’s spell.

Devise a name for your Persona. Then, build them an identity to match. An idea that gives them power, a question they want to answer, and a unique ability they use to get what they want. Each of these must correspond with a piece of salvage now in your tent, but you may use the same piece more than once, if your imagination is strained. Then, write their story - one sentence from every person in your tent, no more and no less.]

[OOC: fill out the following list for your Persona and submit as a team in no later than 3 PM EST. Earlier turn-ins are preferred if possible.As soon as you have submitted, ping Mordred in chan.]

...They would suit us just fine if they didn't plan awful games.

"Afraid to pay the price for it"? I don't believe that for a second.

[She's carrying some medical supplies from the salvage pile.]

... I don't like this. I don't think we should decide what a persona is at all. That's not something ... we can't play god, Mordred.

We shouldn't say the things he'd expect to say.

[hello knights '^' she has books on aather and the darkness with her]

Mordred is leading us. We shouldn't let him, because he's making assumptions about what we think and feel.

He should know better, but he doesn't. So we need to make him see better, and help him know that it's up to him to decide his fate. Not us.

I don't care what he thinks.

Mm... and he's making a lot of assumptions about us in general, isn't he?

[she has beauty's book. '^']

Why those?

Yeah. The thing is, a lot of what's happened here has been people believing that they have to force change on the personae. A friend and I want everyone to understand that the personae should be speaking for themselves. And that's what we should be helping happen.

Deciding ... who they are, coming up with a persona period, that's really stupid. I don't think any of us want that.

Uh, or I hope not. They're people, too, you know?

[ Is holding Beauty's lantern ]

Like we'd ever help someone create Persona, even in jest.

Yes, I think we shouldn't let him lead us so easily.

But is that really right? He's a Persona...can they decide their own fates?

That's happened before. Not all Personae play games. Brother Deer didn't.

Then that's all we need to put down.

They can if we grant them the power to.

I doubt we're actually creating new life.

You should. He's been hurt.

Mm... because it's Aather, and history is important... and knowing about the Darkness is, too.

I think we pay enough of a price regularly. Unless he considers risking ourselves to face the Darkness head-on cowardly.

It doesn't matter if you've been hurt and just take it out on everyone else.

[hmmm]

Then, I have an idea.

Let's create a Persona who is an ordinary human being who can make choices of their own.

I have no problem with that. If what everyone says was true, what happened to whatever they used to be was wrong. Why should we force roles of our own?
