TAKSHAKA

[soulping]

[ Inside the tree, it's much larger than it seemed on the outside, or is it that you're much smaller? In any case, the air smells of pine needles and sap, and there are comfortable chairs scattered around for you to sit in, as well as a table in the center of the round room. There's something on that table... ]

ROUND 1

[soulping]

[ A swirling blob of chaotic potential hovers over the table. Beneath it is a stiff cardboard box decorated with a leafy pattern in gold and silver. The box is open. Before it is a note in a messy but readable hand: ]

Think of a gift for team Ratatoskr, and it will be theirs. You must be reasonable, but you may be creative.

...How is this a game?

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

The games can be just about anything. For the last one, we had to make an outfit for an Echo!

Re: DISCUSSION

[liberatio]

Those aren't games. How would we even know what the other team would want?

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

We have to make our best guess based off what we know about them.

QUESTIONS

Re: QUESTIONS

[barrette]

Would asking for them to get shards be too much?

Re: QUESTIONS

[headonist]

[with faint annoyance]

Yes. Don't game the system, kids.

Re: QUESTIONS

[liberatio]

...What about an object similar of something their worlds?

Re: QUESTIONS

[barrette]

[ trying to not laugh ]

You can't blame me for trying.

SUBMIT YOUR GIFT

Re: SUBMIT YOUR GIFT

[liberatio]

Our gift will be a photograph or memento of someone they hold dear. If they don't currently remember anyone that fits that, then their team or a person here is alright, too.

Re: SUBMIT YOUR GIFT

[soulping]

[Pop! The swirl of potential materializes into six framed photographs, though the actual subjects of the photographs seem somewhat indistinct at the moment. They fall into the box, landing on some packing material, and are followed in by some more packing material. Then the box closes up tightly and disappears.]

ROUND 2

[soulping]

[ A box just like the one you put your gift in during the first round now sits alone on the table. It is closed, with a shiny red bow on top. Before it is a note in a messy but readable hand: ]

Make a guess about what's in this box, and it will be yours. You may ask up to ten yes or no questions, but you may not open the box.

Ooh, this will be fun!

Re: DISCUSSION

[liberatio]

[i don't like not knowing things, though.]

...I suppose starting with questions of its practicality, size, and use would be a good start?

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

Right. We should use a couple questions on general information before trying specifics. Let's try to find out the size first of all.

ATTEMPTS TO IDENTIFY THE GIFT

Re: ATTEMPTS TO IDENTIFY THE GIFT

[barrette]

Is it smaller than a wardrobe?

[ asking one question at a time ]

Re: ATTEMPTS TO IDENTIFY THE GIFT

[soulping]

[a clear affirmative ping! fills the air]

Re: ATTEMPTS TO IDENTIFY THE GIFT

[barrette]

Is it something to use every day?

SUBMIT YOUR GUESS

Re: SUBMIT YOUR GUESS

[liberatio]

We haven't the faintest idea.
