IOLITE

[dramatispersonae]

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

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.

Hey. Ready for this?

Re: DISCUSSION

It seems like a simple enough game.

Re: DISCUSSION

[outstandingbalance]

I'd say so.

Looks like it's just the two of us.

Re: DISCUSSION

[shipwithwings]

So it would seem. For simplicity's sake, we could divide the cornerstones evenly, two each.

Re: DISCUSSION

[outstandingbalance]

I can go with that. Which do you want?

Re: DISCUSSION

[shipwithwings]

Perseverence and Courage.

Re: DISCUSSION

[outstandingbalance]

Then I'll take Mercy and Hope.

Re: DISCUSSION

[shipwithwings]

[nods]

Then that is our four.

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

[shipwithwings]

Mercy
Hope
Perseverance
Courage

Re: SUBMISSION

[dramatispersonae]

The house shimmers and solidifies in front of you, supported by your chosen virtues.
