PERIDOT

[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.

So we just need to pick the best four for a solid foundation.

I think Courage is a good one to start with.

Re: DISCUSSION

[icysemblance]

I agree. Wisdom to go with it?

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

[grade3enabler]

1. Courage.
2. Wisdom.
3. Perseverance.
4. Blank - And a little bit of everything else.

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.

...This is gonna be a bit trickier. We'd need to figure who picked what.

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.

Emerald - Courage
Sapphire - Courage

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 courage corner of your house is intact.

The wisdom corner of your house is intact.

The perseverance corner of your house is intact.

The everything else corner of your house is intact.
