KUNZITE

[dramatispersonae]

Paper walls rise up around your team's table now, and a quill pen appears upon it, along with a well full of vivid Kunzite-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.

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.
