ROUND ONE

[dramatispersonae]

With a shivery noise, the tree suddenly grows a multitude of lush red apples. Look at them for more than an instant and you'll be overcome with the conviction that these apples represent something passionate. A deep, intense kiss, perhaps, if you're on the young and innocent side...or something rather more involved if you're older and more worldly. (It's okay to blush.)

These apples represent an action. It's obvious what that action is (even if different people might have different, or at least differently-rated, ideas of how to describe it). Place an apple in the basket of each person you might do this action with, if there were no consequences for it. You have to choose at least one.

ROUND TWO

[dramatispersonae]

The red apples vanish. The tree suddenly grows a great amount of new apples, which are now shining gold. Look at them for more than an instant and you'll be overcome with the conviction that these apples represent something companionable. They symbolize marriage, if you can conceive of that; if not, they might conjure up images of long-lasting partnership of any kind.

These apples represent an action. It's obvious what that action is. Place an apple in the basket of each person you'd do this action with--for the purpose of this game, you can pick more than one, but you have to choose at least one.

ROUND THREE

[dramatispersonae]

The gold apples vanish. Just as before, the tree suddenly sprouts many new apples, which are now an ominous black. Look at them for more than an instant and you'll be overcome with the conviction that these apples represent something violent. If you're an unflinching and dark sort, you'll see them as representing murder or killing; gentler types might see them simply as a punch to the face, and people in between as inflicting a nasty injury.

These apples represent an action. It's obvious what that action is. Place an apple in the basket of each person you'd do this action to, if there were no consequences for it and you had to pick at least one.

[It really bothers me when you make me do this kind of thing with non-Jaspers around, you know. Stupid Persona.]

...Anyone you want to give apples to?

Re: DISCUSS

[heroicmemory]

How about you go first and we can take turns?

Re: DISCUSS

[mirroredvalue]

[...Fiiine. I'll just drop an apple in Selenia's basket.]

Star's done. Everyone else isn't here.

[And even if one of them were here, they'd be on the same team, so.]

...

[reluctantly drops on in Natasha's basket]

Re: DISCUSS

[mirroredvalue]

Then, that's everything?

Re: DISCUSS

[heroicmemory]

I think so. Time to submit it? Shall I?

Re: DISCUSS

[mirroredvalue]

[Shrug.]

If you want. Star can do it too if you don't want to.

Re: DISCUSS

[heroicmemory]

You're welcome to.

And we'll just see what else comes afterwards.

Re: SUBMIT

[mirroredvalue]

Two apples: One in Selenia's basket (from Star), and one in Natasha's basket (from Barnaby).

Re: DISCUSS

[mirroredvalue]

[...My important people are still not here. Selenia gets one for now, and she's... contemplating Carnelian.]

Re: DISCUSS

[heroicmemory]

This is a little difficult with so few choices.

Re: DISCUSS

[mirroredvalue]

Right? None of Star's important people are even here... Should probably give one to the Peridot person since Star has someone important on Peridot, but... Not here.

Re: DISCUSS

[heroicmemory]

And I'm not familiar with most people. Or at least the ones I am familiar with, I don't want to choose.

Re: DISCUSS

[mirroredvalue]

That's fine, Star'll take this one, then. Both the Carnelians, Selenia, the Peridot, and Eclipse.

Re: DISCUSS

[heroicmemory]

[nods] That should be more than enough.

Re: DISCUSS

[mirroredvalue]

Then, Star'll go put them in.
