[The Showmaster leads you through the dark stage and you find yourself entering something that looks like a very nice and expensive classroom.

Each desk is spacious with drawers that you will conveniently find any important item that had been on your person or that you feel like you would need here. Each chair is cushy and swivels.

Sitting on top of the teacher's desk is a young girl, older teen / younger adult in age at most, hair that looks like mint cotton candy that probably reaches down to her ankles. She has a knee drawn up to her body, resting her chin on top as she scours the room of who arrived . . .

And then she looks at you all with disdain and slight fear in her face. You'll notice that her purple eyes shifts when she makes the scowl, it goes from a solid purple to a purple mixed in with this symbol in green also.]

I thought you guys might have been the exception, but oh no, no, no. Absolutely NOT.

Maybe I'll feel more like holding back once I see what's in store, but for now, I am emboldened by blissful ignorance.

Re: DISCUSSION

Not a bad way to be at all. Does that mean we should approach it with a one of each level to get a full spectrum? Or perhaps only the top and bottom to get a gauge of the range?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sweetdreamsandivorysmoke]

I'd go for the less cautious option, personally. May as well start off strong in case I'm feeling more timid after the consequences of my actions become apparent!

'Finding out' isn't always pleasant but it is important.

Ahh, an Alchemist after my own heart.

Re: DISCUSSION

One of each is a good measurement, but two or three per tier might be a better measure, especially in case of outliers.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sweetdreamsandivorysmoke]

Hmm... well, conveniently, there's five tiers and five categories to match the five Alchemists we have here, so we may as well do things in ones or twos simply for easy division.

Re: DISCUSSION

[friend_request]

Aha, perfect. If everyone took two we could do a 1-5 2-4 3-3 4-2 5-1 though saying it out loud, that wouldn't give the middle numbers as much perspective. So perhaps instead something like 1-5 2-4 3-1 4-2 5-3. . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[sweetdreamsandivorysmoke]

Either way will get those squares filled in, so that's alright with me!

Re: DISCUSSION

[friend_request]

In agreement then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sweetdreamsandivorysmoke]

[Nod nods.]

The question is, who would take what in that case, but I suppose we could simply call dibs in order of height or similar.

Re: DISCUSSION

[friend_request]

Height order seems fallible since it is also mutable.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sweetdreamsandivorysmoke]

Perhaps it may be time to break out the good old "rock paper scissors"?

Short stick lots? Do we have any sticks?

[ claps! ]

Perfect.

[Will start scratching some marks into the sticks while everybody figures out how hard they all wanna go. Whether they come in handy now or later it won't hurt to have them around.]
