SAPPHIRE

[dramatispersonae]

You may have to duck to enter the tents, but thankfully they turn out to be much bigger on the inside, with plenty of space to fit your entire team and more. There's also a picnic blanket on the ground with some empty baskets stacked on it. Once you're all inside, the Tree's voice echoes through the tent.

I'm excited to play with all of you! But I don't yet know what you like to play. Hm. . . oh, I know! Why doesn't everyone get to know each other? Then I can get to know you, too. But let's make a competition out of it! We're playing a game, after all.

Please, don't be shy. Take what you like and enjoy yourselves.

[um]

How is giving stuff away a game, though.

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[glorious]

I'm sure the competition aspect of it depends on who can give away the most, or who gives the most thoughtful gift.

[appleofhiseye]

It's not, really. I tried to explain that to Mulan earlier...uhm, but this doesn't seem so bad regardless.

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[glorious]

Gift-giving, is it?

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[appleofhiseye]

Again?

[I WAS HERE THE WHOLE TIME poking at the baskets a little]

Didn't Mulan do something similar...?

[Everyone in Sapphire will be given apples with cute faces. Every one of them is different! They will also get a bunch of apple blossoms.]

[Sapphire gets another gift! It's a gift of a piano recital as soon as he has a piano to play again!]

[At your tent, there is collection of bowls and spoons enough for all seven members of your team as well as legacy teammates in Camelot. (Someone has excellent memory and attention to detail . . . ) Inside each bowl is a scoop of Neapolitan ice-cream that will not melt until you begin to eat it. With the delicious, frozen collection is a decent amount of paper in the color of your team along with a note on Amethyst purple paper: My name is Eureka, Luna. This is for everyone on your team. If you need help carrying it back, then you can tell me. The paper is to give something to teammates that are not here, to remember them.]

[ from Turquoise, you receive a hand-made charm in the shape of a key! Although perhaps not the finest craftsmanship, being made of twine and sticks, it has apple blossoms carefully attached to it to add a bit of elegance. At the top, there's a little circle of twine attached. ]

[ Also, you get a few apples. 'u' ]

We are Skypunch and Thunder, from Turquoise. Together, we wanted to give everyone something from our hearts...and for us, that means something we made ourselves. From talking with you, we learned that Sapphire loves flowers -- so we wanted to wish you good luck, with this charm you can hang up...and with good luck, we hope that we can become friends with you, too.

And...we heard you have a teammate named Apple, so apples seemed really fitting.

Thank you very much.

Re: [GIFT RECEPTION]

[glorious]

[peeking in, and biting back a laugh at Apple's expense]

You both moved quickly. Thank you for the charm.

[knock knock, Sapphire]

[. . . that is to say there's a shy knight showing up empty-handed]

Hello—?

Re: [GIFT RECEPTION]

[glorious]

Ah, hello again.

Re: [GIFT RECEPTION]

[appleofhiseye]

Hello there.

Re: [GIFT RECEPTION]

[hunting]

[Hello, Sapphire. There is a knight at your tent with a tray of apple bunnies, delicious apple tarts in the shape of puppies, hastily-carved wooden beads with each of the Citrine members' names and vanilla milkshakes.

And he seems to balancing all of these rather well. ]

[from Ruby there's a bundle of cored apples! why are they cored? because with them comes a little bundle of cleaned seeds wrapped in a leaf. and there's a eager little Ruby delivering them.]

Hello, candygram!

Re: [GIFT RECEPTION]

[morbidlysexy]

[well, there's a new face here carrying a pitcher of apple sangria in one hand (careful, it's mostly wine) and a fancy tart with the apple slices arranged to look like a rose in the other]

Hello?

Re: [GIFT RECEPTION]

[kneejerk]

[This carnelian is bringing over a survival kit! It comes in a cloth bag and includes first aid and a clay bottle filled with water and can obviously be used more than once.]

Hello! I brought something over that I thought you could hopefully use.

Re: [GIFT RECEPTION]

[pitching]

[There's a pair of Corals at your door, four water guns in tow]

Yo. We're here to offer a water gun fight for those who are interested.

Re: [GIFT RECEPTION]

[dothehustle]

[This very new Amethyst is arriving wearing her best smile with a cloth bag containing cored apples, seeds, and a clay bottle containing water.]

I hope this isn't interrupting but I have some gifts from Amethyst...

[This Peridot is going to bring a wooden cat face-shaped plate with a ridiculously-shaped apples on top (it was obvious the attempt was to make a bunny, but it didn't go that well), along with two apples dipped in chocolate and two more dark caramel apples decorated to look like cats. Under the plate, Shino is carrying a box that contains seven French pastries.]

Hi, I don't know a lot of people yet but I'm Iris, or Shino Inuzuka. Either name works for me, but Iris is important since it's the name Peridot gave me. One of the things I like the most is sweets and I didn't want to come empty handed, so I wanted to share some things I could try to do on my own by decorating some apples, and to offer something I loved with everybody else.
