IOLITE

[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.)

A message to the other teams...? Is there any information to go on? What's the point of sending a message to someone without any ability to control who it goes to or apparent relevance to the situation...?

Maybe we should just go with "let's all do our best"?

Oh! This looks simple enough.

. . . Unless you think otherwise, Wing.

Let's do our best in this game to help prove to the Persona that she can trust people!

ROUND 1.5

[dramatispersonae]

The scroll the bird just dropped is covered in letters--seemingly random at first, but with some patterns. Even if you cannot read, you understand that there are words to be found here...



Beneath the jumble of letters is a question: "Why would someone betray his beloved?"

[...Um?]

And now it's a word search?

. . . This looks like those silly newspaper games people play when they're looking to kill time waiting at the dentist's.

Re: WORDS FOUND

[splittheparty]

We refuse to answer your question, and instead propose to answer the question of why people shouldn't expect betrayal at every corner: To do so, we offer you things which will oppose that which will cause the betrayal.

To your malice, we offer generosity
To your spite, we offer Forgiveness
To your ambition, compassion
To your falsehood, we offer honesty
To your infidelity, we give you faith
And to your Corruption, we give you humility.

ROUND 2

[dramatispersonae]

The latest scroll has a short message on it, similar to the one you wrote earlier...but not quite. It seems to be another team's message, but somehow jumbled and distorted. It will be your task to try to ascertain what it was originally.

MESSAGE

[dramatispersonae]

"Stay. Luckily this game. - Ruby?"

[Well, we have our next round, then.]

So we have to decode it, huh...?

Wing and I think that the message goes something like : "Luckily we'll all stay friends after this game. Ruby."

ROUND 2.5

[dramatispersonae]

As before, the scroll the bird just dropped is covered in letters--seemingly random at first, but with some patterns. Even if you cannot read, you understand that there are words to be found here...



Beneath the jumble of letters is a question: "What is human nature?"

ROUND 3

[dramatispersonae]

As before, the latest scroll has a short message on it, similar to the one you wrote earlier...but not quite. It seems to be another team's message, but somehow jumbled and distorted. It will be your task to try to ascertain what it was originally.

This time, the scroll is a bit more tattered than before. Is that dried blood staining its edges?

MESSAGE

[dramatispersonae]

"Too much of it free. Suffering developed."
