TIGER'S EYE

You're on a sandbar in a shallow bay with a Tiger's Eye canopy shielding you from the hot sun. Some distance away in the bay, you can make out another sandbar with a Peridot canopy on it, but it's too far away to see any more details.

Lorelei stands on the edge of the sandbar, holding something in her hands. She says nothing, but she holds it up to you with a plaintive expression of earnest curiosity: what is this? Then she sets it down on the sand, gives you one last longing glance, and walks into the water. There's a splash, and she's gone.

From somewhere out in the bay, Lorelei's voice suddenly rings out. "How boring! Your answers aren't interesting at all; surely there's more magic to human lands than that? Please tell me more interesting stories of these things!"

Your item is a fork and spoon.

Give a description of your item's intended purpose and proper use that is as clear, accurate, and complete as possible within forty-five minutes.

Your item is an umbrella. Its purpose and use has been described by Peridot as follows: "An umbrella is a multi-functional tool if you it right. You can use it to protect yourself from the rain or sun, float after jumping from a great height, can turn into an emergency make-shift boa and/or sword and also shoots water."

Make up a new description of your item's intended purpose and proper use that is as ridiculous and inventive as possible within an hour and fifteen minutes. It can be a genuine alternative use or an extravagant lie, but either way, points will be awarded for creativity, convincingness, and effectiveness at refuting the original description.

. . . Those are for eating with, right?

Yeah. For people who don't want to use their hands, anyway.

[picks them up, one in each hand]

I don't know why they're shaped differently, though.

...Well a fork's for things you need to stab. And I think spoons are for liquids, or soft stuff.

Oh. Okay. So they're both for eating with, and this [holds up fork] is for food you need to stab, and this [holds up spoon] is for soft food.
