[You have 30 minutes to come up with a theme! Your theme can be a desire, a moral, or something fun that your team agrees on! It can be anything you can think of.]

A theme?

So it seems. Do you have any ideas?

Naturally, but don't you have a preference, darling?

Last time I had a preference no one liked it. And I did say that the next time we had a game where we ought to pick something, you should get to pick, right?

...I suppose.

[studying her thoughtfully]

How do you feel about tea? It's quite the varied topic, you know.

I like tea. It's made from plants, and sitting down for tea is good for conversation.

Then we will choose "tea, and the elegant and companionable feelings formed by sharing a good cup of it" as our theme!

I quite like it.

Tea, and the elegant and companionable feelings formed by sharing a good cup of it.

[You have 30 minutes to come up with an item of your choosing that represents your theme. Again, this can be whatever you want! A puzzle, a stuffed animal, or even something never before done. The more creative you are, the better!]

A teacup, perhaps?

An elegant teacup shaped like a flower, with a handle sculpted to resemble a leaf.

Oh, that sounds lovely! I can only approve of that.

Mmm! Then it's settled.

I think we're off to a lovely start, if I may say so.

An elegant teacup shaped like a flower, with a handle sculpted to resemble a leaf.

[As a team you have 30 minutes to come up with three hints, riddles, or clues for others to guess what you've created and why! This is optional, but the benefits or consequences from not being united are there.]

Riddles? Oh...we could do something about conversation, or plants...

Perhaps...

[tapping a finger thoughtfully]

"Its purpose is in a single letter of the alphabet." How devilishly confusing, yet also true!

How clever! I like it.

That's one...we should include something about the design. "Despite appearances, I am made, not grown." How does that sound?

[ohh gives her a thumbs-up]

I quite like that one as well.

[beaming]

And then! "At a table with a friend, you should have two of me." Will that work for our last?

Sure. You're very good at this, you know.

Darling, you flatter me.

I'm only saying the truth. I wouldn't be able to come up with anything like that.

But your bright smile inspires me to such things...

That's an overstatement. You're that smart whether or not I'm around.

An overstatement...not at all.

Don't underestimate your own importance, Apple!

What you're saying is a bit much, though. You shouldn't underestimate your own abilities either.

Oh, my abilities are quite formidable. I won't deny that.

But it is the rest of Sapphire, and that includes you, who give me the strength to use them!

I'm glad you think so. But I don't know that I've done much.

Darling, your presence alone is a light. Please do remember that.

[but

what do I say to that

n-nods...!!]

Now, do let's go forth with the game. ♥

R-right. I'll do my best.

- Its purpose is in a single letter of the alphabet.

- Despite appearances, this is made, not grown.

- At a table with a friend, you should have two of this.

[When you're ready to move on you may exit to begin questioning others and being questioned yourself.

Don't forget the turn in!]
