RUBY

[dramatispersonae]

You're in a small grove of trees off the side of the road. Somehow, their thick leaves muffle all sound from beyond, leaving only faint whispers and echoes at the fringe of your hearing.

ROUND 1

[dramatispersonae]

A scroll rests on the ground before you, along with a quill pen. As a team, you will need to write a short message (about two sentences) to the other teams on it. (If no one here can write, the pen will respond to your thoughts.)

—Oh. This is going to be easy.

Re: DISCUSSION

There's only one person here who's actually on your team so it had better be. What do you--or your team, I guess--have to say?

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

[shrugs]

Something about bacon, probably. Or, in general, probably just something that is really weird in general.

Re: DISCUSSION

[whyitgottabeblack]

So I got the weird team. Great. [sigh] Well, at least I get the bacon thing, it is delicious. Sounds like I need to come bother you guys around breakfast some day.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

Weird may not be a bad thing, in this case, though, in case something is twisted, since I got that feeling from what was said.

And, you probably could.

Re: DISCUSSION

[whyitgottabeblack]

[looks at him for a minute, surprised by the insight] Huh. Yeah, weird works when the rules are weird already. That's pretty quick thinking.

Really? Your team sure sounds friendly, I'm surprised there aren't more of them here.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

I would not say "friendly" is the right word for Ruby, but, they are something.

Re: DISCUSSION

[whyitgottabeblack]

Interesting. I've got to admit, I know I'm a knight, but I haven't interacted with a ton of you, you're sort of a mystery at this point. That's why I think you probably have to write whatever thing your team would really say, no matter what my opinion of it is. You just know better right now.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

Are you sure? Technically, right now, you are a teammate. Uh. A honorary member of Ruby for the game?

Re: DISCUSSION

[whyitgottabeblack]

[gives a dry chuckle at that] That's pretty sweet kid, I'll take that offer for now. I still think you should take the lead on this one. Don't worry, I'm sure there's plenty more game to go.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

[snorts]

Fine. I will take the lead on this one, and we will see where it goes. Uh. And also, I am Tavros.

Re: DISCUSSION

[whyitgottabeblack]

[nods] I go by Licorice here. I know my real name, but I'm not telling yet, sorry.

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

[shrug]

I was not going to ask, anyway.

Hi. Ruby has a hidden bacon stash in their treehouse, that they may be willing to share with anyone that can do the chicken dance.

Re: SUBMIT MESSAGE

A white bird suddenly flutters by, drops the scroll it was holding, snatches up the scroll you just wrote on, and departs once more.
