CITRINE

[dramatispersonae]

The broad field narrows to a small clearing. In the distance, there are the rustles and chirps of the forest.

Comments

ROUND ONE

[dramatispersonae]

Before you, the vague and ethereal form of a little cabin shimmers in midair, unreal and indistinct. Faith's voice sounds from all around you, occasionally skipping and stuttering over uncertain words.

"How does one build (rebuild) when there is nothing? How does one make a home? (A self?)"

VIRTUES

[dramatispersonae]

Eight solid keystones stand arrayed before you, ready to become the cornerstones of your new house. Each one is clearly labeled; somehow you can sense what each label is without even reading it.

Faith.
Hope.
Justice.
Mercy.
Courage.
Perseverance.
Wisdom.
Charity.

One more cornerstone stands a little bit off to the side; it has no virtue attached to it, but you sense that you can label it however you would like.

[sooo suspicious, but]

Ugh.

Re: DISCUSSION

[heartrending]

This is absurd. One cannot build a house with "virtues."

SUBMISSION

[dramatispersonae]

"Choose four cornerstones to make a house you can value and defend."

(If you choose the blank stone, be sure to explain what your team decides it represents.)

Re: SUBMISSION

[bitesonce]

Charity, mercy, faith, strength

ROUND TWO

[dramatispersonae]

"Now you will test the strength of each other's houses. Choose one or two teams to attack, and a virtue to target for each. After this round, you will have two more chances to attack your opponents. Please, do not worry for your safety. This is only a test, and no one will be harmed."

STATUS

[dramatispersonae]

All four of your cornerstones are completely intact. They can each take two hits before that corner of the house crumbles.

...Uh.

Re: DISCUSSION

[heartrending]

Hmph. Do we trust her word?

SUBMISSION

[dramatispersonae]

Pick one to two teams to target, along with which virtue you're aiming for in each case. You will not be able to select the same team/virtue combination in future rounds.

Targeting Citrine's virtue of Hope.

ROUND THREE

[dramatispersonae]

The earth trembles slightly around you--not enough to throw anyone to the ground, but perhaps enough to unsettle.

"Where do you aim this time?"

STATUS

[dramatispersonae]

The charity corner of your house is intact.

The mercy corner of your house is intact.

The faith corner of your house is intact.

The strength corner of your house is intact.

Re: DISCUSSION

We've escaped harm for the time being--so we still have no way of telling whether the Persona is true to her word and will not harm us if we're hit.

SUBMISSION

[dramatispersonae]

Re: SUBMISSION

[heartrending]

Citrine - Justice

ROUND FOUR

[dramatispersonae]

Again, the ground shivers just slightly.

"Once more, where do you aim?"

STATUS

[dramatispersonae]

The charity corner of your house is intact.

The mercy corner of your house is intact.

The faith corner of your house is intact.

The strength corner of your house is intact.

Our strategy has served us well so far. I see no reason not to continue.
