HELIODOR

[ An apple tree stands in the middle of this room. No fruit grows on it yet. It's surrounded by small baskets labeled with a perfect portrait of everyone not on this team who's playing in this game. ]

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.

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.

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.
