HELIODOR

[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.)

Re: DISCUSSION

[Well, that's vague.]

I guess the question is what we want to write?

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

[HELIODOR AGAIN hello]

. . . I wonder if she'll let it go across normally . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

[You are strangely popular for our team, darnedest thing.]

[At least you're rather LUCKY for Heliodor night.]

Probably not.

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

[somehow . . . don't think about it, though]

Well . . . either way, it's fine.

Do we write a different message for each team, or just one message to everybody?

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

[It's just one of those things. Like why I only talk to Kira when we both get personanapped at the same time.]

[Considers.] We might not see what our message gets turned into, but we might get a response back. If it's all the same, then it'll probably be easier to figure out what's being done?

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

[yeah and I never end up with Ruby or Peridot, super weird]

Well . . . I wouldn't mind giving her the benefit of the doubt, either.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

Well, there is that. I don't know much about her, so she may just watch?

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

. . .

[shrugs]

Is there anything you'd like to say to the other teams? . . . "a message" is a little . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

Vague.

[He thinks.] Really it's less teams and more people, and that's kind of personal.

Maybe just something like a greeting or to wish them luck?

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

[hesitates]

I . . . wouldn't mind . . . encouraging people to show this Persona . . . how good we can be?

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

...

[You are such a CUTE KNIGHT.]

[Smiles.]

So maybe something like.

Even if the words get muddled, we'll find a way to understand each other?

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

Something like that. She seems . . .

[shrugs]

Anyway, you're . . . probably better with words. I don't know how to phrase something like that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

You've talked to her then?

[Considers.]

Misunderstandings can be pretty bad, but we'll find a way to understand each other. We always manage to come together?

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

Maybe . . . "not seeing things from each others' point of view" instead of misunderstandings . . . yeah.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

Oh, yeah, that'd work better.

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

Okay.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

So what is she like?

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

. . .

Some bad things have happened to her. That's all I know.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Nods.] That happens a lot to Persona.

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