CAPRICORN

[Inside the stone rooms, there's a table laid out with all sort of creative supplies: glue, feathers, flowers, glitter, fake jewelry, fabric, googly eyes, paint, paper, and pretty much any other sort of craft thing that you can imagine. After you take that all in, a chirpy sing-song voice rings out]

"I'd like you to create an effigy of your most important thing here. Be creative! I don't want anything boring."

(ooc: This should be about two hours tops, and then we'll head to round two. Ping Celi on IRC for any questions!)

...arts and crafts?

[ staring at the supplies with the face of someone who has no idea where to begin ]

It seems we're going to have to waste time on more trivial things today.

Isn't the most important thing team?

How are we going to make an effigy to our team, exactly?

It's a goat, right? Capricorn? So lets make a goat.

A goat...

[ looking at the supplies again ]

How do we make one? They're saying they want creativity too.

For fur we could cut the feathers off the. Feather centery sticky part. And just stick on the fuzzy bits.

Fur is the easy part, it's the structure I'm more concerned about. ... but it's a good idea, so good job.

Maybe if we stick a few things together with glue...

Roll some paper into a cylinder for the body, toothpicks for legs--we can bundle them up together for thicker legs and hide that with fuzz.

[ well he's looking impressed ]

—That works.

Smaller one for the head!

[starts to get to work]

It shouldn't be hard!

[ grabbing a cylinder and beginning to work on the body as well ]

It's easy enough, if an idiot like you could come up with it.

Flattery will get you everywhere, Nova.

Shut up and focus on your work instead.

Yes sir~

Make sure to mention-

a) A description of your creation
b) What your creation represents

[It is a goat

Its body and head are made of paper. Googly eyes are on the head. It has toothpick horns. Toothpick legs. Feather fuzz coats it as fur.

It represents Capricorn because duh]

[ When Capricorn returns to their room they’ll find a boquet of paper flowers with little prop birds with feathers, all team-colored. A large Taurus-pink sunflower makes up the center, with a vine of Libra-blue morning glories, a Cancer-grey calla lily, and a Sagittarius-fuchsia orchid. Among them are three birds-- one a Virgo-brown hummingbird hovering noticeably close to the sunflower, the other two birds on a branch scooched up together-- a Leo-yellow, large, puffy one and a smaller Aquarius-blue one.

And a book of matches.]

. . .

[ looking at it for a long time ]

... can you figure out who this is from? That aside, we all have something important to lose. I don't want to destroy this.

Taurus.

See how they're the center?

[ looking at the pink flower at the center ]

...they put a lot of people into this.

[bangs his fist against the wall]

[ pauses for a moment, and though it's obvious from his expression that he's shaken up by this as well, his voice is calm ]

Even if we destroy it, there is no guarantee ours will be safe. All we can do right now is make certain we won't have a part in causing this much harm.

There's no way for us to save Capricorn right now. But this is something we have a choice on.

And this is a much bigger thing than us.

I really hope its just this dumb junk people are wrecking and its not symbolic.

Still! Even if it is. We can't do anything.

Even if it's symbolic, what we represented was "the most important thing right here".

Since you and I are the only members of Capricorn present today, it should stand to reason that the two of us will be the only ones to pay the consequences of this, if our effigy is destroyed.

Well. In case that's the case.

[hand out for a handshake]

[ nodding, taking his hand and shaking ]

[handshake!]

Okay! Now lets do this thing! No sense wasting time!

Who's wasting time? I told you already, you're the only idiot in this team.

[OBNOXIOUS HUG]

[ ashfisfhai!! No get out

HAND ON FACE and trying to push him away ]

I could always choose to set you on fire instead!

Ow!

[lets go]

Shaking hands with you is already enough.

[ FACE RED ]

Packrat~ we're not wrecking shit!

Since both of you were two spineless to do JACK SHIT, the house wins this time! Have fun~

[Packrat has taken "capricorn" as his own. THERE IS TWO WAYS YOU CAN PLAY WITH THIS:
Packrat took just their body!! In the meanwhile, you have an animal to inhabit, have fun with that

Packrat took their soul/heart/something equivalent! Status effect, play them without emotions, or some other important part of their core. (ideals, morality, identity, ect) If you choose this option, there's also a nagging feeling of "something lost" and a desire to get it back. ]

That's not entirely what I expected. And better than what I expected, really.

Not too shabby, all things considered.
