RUBY

[dramatispersonae]

[ You are within a circle of trees and angels all made of water and all glowing faintly in your team's color. Somehow everything beyond this circle disappears in that glow. ]

ROUND THREE

[dramatispersonae]

[ The trees and angels surrounding you quietly melt away, replaced by thirteen archways, each with glowing writing upon them. You have the sudden awareness that you will need to explore three of these entrances. ]

THE WRITING ON THE ARCHES

[dramatispersonae]

A tale of despair. A tale of determination. A tale of a pioneer. A tale of wrath. A tale of friendship. Another tale of determination. A tale of a fight. Yet another tale of determination. A tale of bitterness. A tale of discord. A tale of partnership. A tale of trust.

DISCUSSION

[dramatispersonae]

 

ENTER AN ARCHWAY

[dramatispersonae]

[ Comment here every time you decide to pass through an arch. You will be presented with a scenario in each one, to which you must then react as a team. If you don't wish to decide on a reaction or solution to any given scenario, you may exit the archway and pick another one, but to finish the game you must solve three of the tales given to you here. ]

I'm not much for weighing them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[over there, poking one of the angels. they kind of look like valkyrie.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[dutyfree]

Never thought I'd see you with nothing to say.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

I'm not, either.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

[you're really quiet and that's weird.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[badnewsboy]

We should just get on with it, eh?

Re: DISCUSSION

[POKING THESE WINGED CREATURES.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[dutyfree]

We could flip for it, but I don't have a coin.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dutyfree]

[raising an eyebrow]

Whatever you say, old son.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

We could pick numbers, too.

It works, and I don't have a coin on me, either.
