Philosophy of Choice [Monday | Period 1]

[not_in_the_book]

"Choose," Ronan said. Behind him, in the Danger Shop created hallway, were two doors, identical save for a word on each: "yes" on one and "no" on the other.

Stepping back, Ronan gestured at the doors. "Choose," he repeated.

[OCD up!]

Confusedly?

Choose a Door

[not_in_the_book]

Yes or no? Either way, you find yourself alone on the other side, in another hallway, two more doors in front of you.

[I'll grab pings here when I get off work, starting at about 4PM Eastern. Please to not be modding the next set of doors! :D ]

Debrief

[not_in_the_book]

After finally making their way through the hallways, the students found themselves outside in meadow, no doors -- or hallways -- to be seen. "So what do you all think the point of this was?" Ronan asked, looking around at the class.

Speak to Ronan and the TA

[not_in_the_book]

Ronan was around for you; wait for the TA to ping in!

OOC

[not_in_the_book]

This'll be something of a heavy-interaction class; I'll be here all evening, starting at about 4PM Eastern, and I'm happy to SP it all week if anyone wants.

Sparkle

Okay, sure. Sparkle was game, why the hell not?

And he was feeling fairly optimistic today, after an evening spent eating Sholeh's marshmallows yesterday.

With a shrug, Sparkle chose the Yes door.

Surreal looked at the doors, looked at Ronan, called in a book and sat down on the floor to read.

Someone was a bit cranky after finding out there was an entire Day of Fathers here, and she wasn't even allowed to stab Kartane someone on it, yes, and was taking her contrariness out on everyone else in the world.

[ooc: feel free to just toss her through either door if needed!]

Cassidy was quiet as she thought about the choice and then swallowed.

"No."

Re: Choose a Door

[not_in_the_book]

On the other side of the door, Sparkle would find two more doors. ... Marked with familiar signs.

"Choose," came Ronan's voice, although he was nowhere to be seen.

Ronan looked over at Surreal as the others chose their doors and smirked a bit.

A moment later, as he walked by, a small piece of paper dropped onto her book; it read, We'll be a few minutes; feel free to sit tight and keep reading until then. Well chosen, Surreal.

He was pretty sure she was just being contrary, yes, but he'd discuss that in the debrief.

Re: Choose a Door

[not_in_the_book]

"No, you won't choose?" Ronan asked, raising an eyebrow at her. "Pick a door, Cassidy."

Re: Choose a Door

[nothornlessrose.livejournal.com]

She shook her head. "I'm sorry. I was thinking out loud."

She gave him a smile before reaching for the No door.

Re: Choose a Door

[not_in_the_book]

Ah, well, in that case...

Have more doors, Cassidy: "Chartreuse" or "Aquamarine"?

Re: Choose a Door

[myownface]

"Um, duh," Sparkle said, to that voice that couldn't be seen, and he went right on through the door with the guy on it.

He had no interest in that other door, okay?

Re: Choose a Door

[not_in_the_book]

You get... more doors, Sparkle!

Will you walk through "Istanbul" or "Constantinople"?

Re: Choose a Door

[nothornlessrose.livejournal.com]

Cassidy had no idea what Chartreuse was, so she reached for Aquamarine.

Re: Choose a Door

[myownface]

Sparkle made a bit of a face at the next bunch of doors.

"Let me guess," he ventured, looking at the ceiling, because clearly that was where Ronan was right now, sure. "I go through here, and there's gonna be two more doors?"

Besides. Everyone knew that it was Istanbul, not Constantinople.

Re: Choose a Door

[not_in_the_book]

Behind the aquamarine-labeled door was an aquamarine hallway... with two doors. This time, she had the choice between "Strange" and "Charm".

Re: Choose a Door

[nothornlessrose.livejournal.com]

It took her a few more moments to choose here than it had when she had chosen Aquamarine. Biting her lip again, she ran a hand through her hair -- and then pulled her Tiger-Eye shield around her. He hadn't said that they couldn't use their own powers in this exercise, so she didn't feel guilty.

Besides, the chewing out she would receive from others for not shielding herself sooner would be much worse than getting a bad grade in class.

Shield in place, she reached to open the Strange door.
