IOLITE

Paper walls rise up around your team's table now, and a quill pen appears upon it, along with a well full of vivid Iolite-colored ink. Finely-lettered words shift and scroll in silvery-black ink across their surface, and even if you cannot read or write normally, the ability comes to you for the duration of this game.

That is a good word. There are hundreds of words that will the other spaces, now that we have some letters set.

Well done; you've put something together. Now give it a meaning. Tell me a short story or make a brief adage based on these words--without using any of the exact words themselves.

Now comes the time to unravel the puzzle set before you by another team. The clues are in their story. You must do your best to come even a little bit close to their original crossword.

With the warmth of heart that comes from sincere bonds, a person forges a path with the help of others to their shared ambition.

Re: DISCUSSION

Teams, maybe, too. It looks like they must have taken this earnestly.
hunting: (we all have answers to find)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] hunting 2015-01-25 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Those two would work together, yeah.
shipwithwings: laying down and peering at someone. [conversing/attentive/neutral] (Love of Life)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] shipwithwings 2015-01-25 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Warmth of heart" seems like a phrase chosen to cover up some word, but if we make a crossword of such positive aspects as those, at least one word should fall close enough to right.
hunting: (within a day you find yourself)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] hunting 2015-01-25 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
So we either need a "warmth of the heart" that ends with "s" or begins with "g."
hunting: (do I have your attention)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] hunting 2015-01-25 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Grateful?

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] shipwithwings 2015-01-25 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Grateful" across, "goals" down, "friends" along the bottom?
hunting: (only time will alter your vision)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] hunting 2015-01-25 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Friends could work for the 'with the help of others.'
shipwithwings: smiling. [pleased/interested/pleasantly neutral] (Out of the Blue)

Re: DISCUSSION

Re: DISCUSSION

[scratching on the wall]

Oh, yes, "teams" can be used for making an answer as well, if we change some words. But from the words we've come up with so far, we could also make:


......GRATEFUL
......O
.....GAMES
......L
FRIENDS
hunting: (do I have your attention)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] hunting 2015-01-25 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
