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]

Gift-giving, is it?

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.

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[masterofmystery]

That's stupid.

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[glorious]

Consider it an excuse to show kindness to your friends and others then.

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[masterofmystery]

That's exactly it though, innit? S'not exactly a kindness if you're doing it to win.

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[glorious]

You're right and I see your point. I simply would rather consider it a game that gives me the means to do something I would do regardless.

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[masterofmystery]

And do you think the rest of this lot will do the same?

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[glorious]

Possibly most of them will play with the idea of winning, but I'm sure enough of them have a similar mindset on the matter.

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[masterofmystery]

What if we don't wanna play on principle?

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[glorious]

Then you can avoid participating and I'll play.

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[masterofmystery]

Then that's not fair.

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[glorious]

It's not fair to insist that others on the team don't participate either.

I can understand you feeling that the concept of the game itself is inherently contradictory to its stated goal, but refusing to participate isn't going to send that message. It'll be best to approach the Persona directly and explain why you feel that the game is inherently offensive.

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[masterofmystery]

I was already planning on that.

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[glorious]

You can try calling her in here if you'd like.

[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.]

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

Didn't Mulan do something similar...?

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[masterofmystery]

[He's already talking if you want to listen in...]

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[appleofhiseye]

Again?

Re: [TEAM MINGLE]

[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]

[masterofmystery]

It is to me.
