RUBY, JASPER, and PERIDOT

[dramatispersonae]

[ You sit on a soft, slightly damp white mass--a solid cloud keeping you up in the sky. Beneath you stretches the village you saw from the Ring, but this time, you can also make out the tiny forms of all the knights. You know it's them, even though they're too far away for you to make out details. ]

ROUND ONE

[dramatispersonae]

Below you is a village that has fallen on difficult times with the coming of the Darkness to this world. Everyone there has to work hard to survive. Their only reprieve is that they are watched over by guardian angels who keep the Darkness at bay. You control one of those angels.

...What.

Re: DISCUSS

Oh.

So, a creativity game.

Re: DISCUSS

It looks like it...

Re: DISCUSS

Creativity games can be easy, at least.

It should be a cat.

Re: DISCUSS

[pchaaair]

Why a cat?

Re: DISCUSS

[foreignflight]

Why...?

Re: DISCUSS

[thisgoddelivers]

Or the village can ask me for help. I'm just asking for five yen.

Re: DISCUSS

[crueltobekind]

No one wants a trash heap's help.

Re: DISCUSS

[pchaaair]

I have no idea what a yen is, and they probably do not either.

[ Name and describe your guardian angel. ]

Re: SUBMIT

[foreignflight]

Our guardian angel takes the form of something that's precious to each of us in its own way. That form is that of a fairly large flying, robo-cat named Fluffy that also happens to carry around a pouch of 5yen pieces. It's able to shoot lazer beams as well as money at the Darkness in order to fight it back. Fluffy protects those it calls friends (and sometimes not friends if they're not trash) and enjoys being cuddled by others and its greatest power will come from intense cuddling.

The misty light over your cloud brightens as you describe your angel.

ROUND TWO

[dramatispersonae]

[ Beneath you, a wave of shadow rolls across the little town, obscuring everything but the tiny, distant forms of the knights. ]

The village has fallen to the Darkness. Its guardian angels may do their best to save its inhabitants.

VILLAGERS

[dramatispersonae]

1. The Knight fights to help others survive.
2. The Watchman has the duty of watching for the Darkness from the outskirts of village and doing everything they can to stop it should it approach while alerting the villagers. They do this because they wish to keep their friends and my family safe and because fighting against the Darkness is the only way to survive.
3. The Soldier doesn't really have any special reason for fighting, so they do it for whoever's next to them.
4. The Magi watches and guides the flow of energy in this world, whether that energy is light or dark; this job can require them to be anywhere and they have a reason to keep going because of it. They don't mind the fighting part at all.
5. The Knight or the Idol has never been anyone important until not long before they came here and doesn't think they're anyone important here, either. They have no reason for wanting to survive and help other people; they say they don't need one.
6. The Assassin believes that sometimes someone has to be willing to get their hands dirty.
7. The Supporter doesn't really have any particularly useful skills, and they can't fight on their own. The things they do are just helping others. They can cook and repair things and shield people, and they'll also help people with whatever they can do, if people ask for it. There's nothing really else the Supporter does or wants to do.

Huh . . . How many villagers should we try to put points on?

Re: DISCUSS

[foreignflight]

That depends on how you look at it or what we think the Persona would expect...

Re: DISCUSS

[thisgoddelivers]

How are we suppose to know what the other angels picked?

Re: DISCUSS

[pchaaair]

We are probably not supposed to.

[ You have 4 points to distribute to the villagers as you wish. Each villager who receives at least two points after all the angels have contributed will be considered "saved." How do you use your points? ]

Re: SUBMIT

Two points to the supporter
One point to the soldier
One point to the magi

You make your choice. You may go...to endgame...?
