♕ Game 46: Carnelian

[You find yourselves in a castle corridor, well-lit and bright from the many windows that are phased along the left wall. If you look out of them, you can see out into a bright summer day in a place you would not recognise.

At the end of the corridor is a stone door. Etched into it is the face of a gargoyle, who regards you sternly.]

Roses don't know things...

Roses are only looking out for themselves.

But if roses are only looking out for other roses, then that means they're a pretty united team!

But that doesn't fit our speech!

I'm not sure we should be saying that being a united team is a bad thing, maybe just that it's okay even if you're not...

. . . when allowed to run free, divisions within a team can be as painful as the prick of a rose's thorn. Instead of . . . being as happy as a hippo in the mud, divided teams must frequently devote long and difficult hours to coming to terms with their differences.

That's not bad. But we still have to work in poltergeist.

What is it?

I think it's like a ghost...?

A geist is a ghost, right?

. . . if I knew that much, I wouldn't need to ask.

Okay, let's assume it's a ghost.

When allowed to run free, divisions within a team can be as painful as the prick of a rose's thorn. Instead of being as happy as a hippo in the mud, divided teams must frequently devote long and difficult hours to coming to terms with their differences. The negativity from those teams who can't come to some compromise could even attract the attention of a malicious poltergeist.

. . . does this even make sense?

Wait wait, I think you have something there.

Okay, so that's pro-unity then.

...Then how do we talk about idiolalicock... stuff?

We'll just say disunity is poppycock.

It's almost there . . .

Unity is not simply poppycock used in someone's idolalia, but vital to the life and success of a team. It can even keep away the ghosts?

Perfect!!

. . . all right.

Do we have to keep that final line about ghosts in?

I bet you could say that the poltergeist is responsible for everything going wrong when you don't agree though.

Or . . . it's drawn to bad energy.

Ah...! So to keep it away you have to not fight so much!!

I like it!

Of course they do. Though roses are one bush, they know better than to cluster together. They see the world from different places, and drink in the sunlight from opposite directions. Differences help the whole plant grow.

...Oh, that should be in the speech.
