[GAME 38] PERIDOT

[dramatispersonae]

[You find yourself on a circular island of grass. Though night has fallen, the island is surprisingly well-illuminated by a stone lantern at its center. The lantern's light reaches far enough to reveal that the island is surrounded by water -- a pond? The water's glassy, greenish surface is only broken by the stems of huge white lotuses. Each lotus flower seems to glow ever so slightly, providing just a bit more light to the scene. The air is full of the scent of flowers and greenery, and the sound of crickets is almost deafening at first. It doesn't seem a stretch to assume that you're in some sort of garden.

Four ornamental wooden bridges, painted red, stretch over the pond in opposite directions. You can't tell where they lead. For the moment, the entrance to each bridge is blocked by a thickly-woven rope with zigzags of white paper hanging from them.

There is no moon in the sky, and the stars are only dim points of light.]

A symbol that represents Peridot. We could all get it tattooed eventually if that's the case.

...a seven-pointed star in green? I don't know...

Re: [WISTERIA]

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...Hah. I'm not sure we can choose the color, but that might be simple enough.

Re: [WISTERIA]

Still. A filled in star. Maybe a circle, outside, for everyone else.

Re: [WISTERIA]

[boxupallthebutterflies]

It will look a bit like a magic circle in the end. I have that skill back, so perhaps I might do it if no one else wants to.

[As soon as you complete the task, two bridges appear, leading to other islands. The card you have earned remains on the step, while the other two disappear.]

Re: [WISTERIA]

I like the circle...

Re: [WISTERIA]

[silentknight]

Peridot is important but... so is everyone else, too. We're... all together.

Re: [WISTERIA]

[unionoftheheart]

Yeah...saving the world, together.

Re: [WISTERIA]

[silentknight]

I… like that.
