Do You Want to Play a Game?

[quote=XeresAce]Note: My own takes and just what comes to mind when I first read it. Don't take it too seriously friends :'D [spoiler = Niklas] [quote] Cube: The cube lies between two large dunes in the midst of nothing else than sand. It's a small cube, not even as big as you would probably notice it immediately even though it's the only unique object in this environment which doesn't seem to fit to the rest of the scene. The cube is completely grey and there is no such thing as letters or signs on it. The cube is pretty heavy because otherwise it would be blown away by the winds in the desert. However, no on really knows what the cube is made of and why it's lying there.[/quote] Firstly, the cube is on the ground and relatively stable, therefore you are grounded as a person and stable where you are. You are not fickle. The cube is made of an unknown material, indicating general mystery and dilemma. Do you know who you really are? Are you still trying to understand yourself? What might the dunes represent, are they casting a shadow on the cube? Perhaps they are blocking something essential from coming through to the cube which will give it color. Gray is not really a color, I see it some sort of tone between dark and black. The greyer it is the more prone you are to negativity, the lighter it is the more positive you are. Either way, one does not go without reasonable amounts of the other. Again, I keep getting an image of the dunes casting a shadow. You are in the middle of them, in the center of their attention but they are blocking something from reaching you. If we look at this from a different perspective, the dunes could be protecting you from harsh sunlight too. It seems like a necessary evil, to keep you from something in order to protect you. Whether or not the sunlight will affect you negatively I have no idea, since the material of which the cube is made of is unknown. I assume you have two people in your life whom you feel are with you the whole time, otherwise you wouldn't have projected them unto a blank without even consciously willing it. [quote]Ladder: A few footsteps away from the cube there is a ladder. The ladder is wooden and actually too small to be worth being called "a ladder". Apparently this ladder was once used for a child's bed or for a really really really tiny person. Most of the ladder is covered by sand which creates the impression of it being bigger than it actually is as already mentioned.[/quote] From the looks of things, it looks like you don't find this ladder very reliable. It also doesn't really indicate many friends, it seems like you look at your friends and see them as frail and unreliable. Maybe you still think people see you as a child, and therefore provide support sufficient for somebody who has not found themselves yet? The ladder is covered in sand, which means there might be more to it. There might be more to your friends than you see at the moment. [quote]Horse: A few more footsteps away behind the first of the two dunes there is a horse standing in the bumpy sand. It's literally hidden behind the dune but not safe from the sun. The horse isn't moving and it seems to fit into the area even though that cannot be true. There is a saddle on the horse but no human being is anywhere near the horse. When coming closer to the horse you notice it being exhausted but apparently calm, like it would deal with the uncomfotable situation of standing there without its equestrian, without water and in a dead landscape.[/quote] Your partner doesn't want to face you directly, or can't get through to you due to the dunes. However, they have accepted the situation and seem sure enough on their ability to deal with whats about to come. I think your partner recognizes a storm far sooner than you notice it. "The calm before the storm", if you will. [quote] Flowers: On top of the dune there is a vase with flowers. Like all the other "objects" seen so far it's randomly appearing in the area and its appearance doesn't seem to make any sense. The flowers are actually roses which have lost their old beauty. The roses are shriveled and in the vase there is only sand but no humus. The sun is blazing onto them.[/quote] You were protected from this "sun", but you decided to let your children go without limiting them from it. I guess it ended up exhausting them. Their resources also seem pretty dry, I guess they don't have much hope/inspiration to draw from. Roses still have their thorns though, they don't wither that easily. They can still defend themselves. [quote]Storm: As already mentioned the winds in the desert are pretty insane transporting sand all around the area and building up new dunes. Everything in the desert is changing from day to day. The current wind could rather be classified as a storm because it's dispersing a lot of dust. However, the storm is "dry". There are no huge clouds announcing any hope concerning upcoming rain. The storm just randomly buries sand from one place to another one. The roses on top of the dune slowly but surely lose all of their leafs and most of the other objects are getting covered by sand. The horse, however, is shaking its body because it's rather annoyed by the tiny pieces of sand being surprisingly hurting when hitting the body.[/quote] The horse already knew what was coming and how to deal with it. Those dunes from earlier, I guess were easily swept away by the storm, leaving you exposed. Then again, they do reappear in one form or another, eventually striving to protect you again. The roses can't really take all that much, but their thorns still remain. The storm is causing ever-present change, and everyone except from your partner seems to be under its effect. NOTE: I'm sorry this came out so negative :X [/spoiler] [spoiler = Jovana] [quote]Cube: small shiny reflective cube, looks like it's made of metal or something. it's in the middle of the desert and it's I think small enough to hold.[/quote] Your ego is relatively small. Your cube is metal though, which indicates strength and durability. It's in the middle of the desert which means you like attention to some extent, but probably only for things you've worked hard for. It is shiny, and probably well polished. You might show people what you think they want to see and then what you want them to see, rather than opening yourself up. You are not a transparent person. [quote]Ladder: normal ladder, brown wooden, nothing special about it. It's not very far away from the cube, like 1-2 meters to the right of the cube. It's lying in the sand.[/quote] You can't tell the length of the ladder, and you probably are always open to making new friends. With the friends you already have, you are close to. They are normal and average - which is perfectly fine. Wood might be stable, but also prone to weather unless further coated. You might not consider your friends reliable to the T, but they're still there for you. You don't seem to like relying on your friends a lot, as you don't feel they rely on you all that much either. [quote]Horse: brown horse with no saddle, it's standing not too close to the cube or the ladder, and it's not really doing anything, just standing. I'd say it was about 2-3 meters away from the ladder.[/quote] Your partner isn't really all that close to you, and you consider your friends closer. They (your partner)don't feel bound to you, hence the lack of a saddle, but that's a good thing since they choose to stick around only based on their own free will. They don't seem to be very interesting in particular to you, but since it isn't afraid it doesn't seem to sense hostility. They don't NEED to be extravagant. [quote]Flowers: on cacti, there's 3 cacti around and they all have 1 or 2 pink flowers on them.[/quote] The children in your life seem to come from different families. Possibly nephews and neices, with one cacti being your own children. They are well protected and provided for. Pink is a vibrant and cutesy color, reminiscent of children who have softer habits. I feel like they will value mindgames, stories and reading more than those gun games. [quote]Storm: rainstorm, it doesn't affect anything in the scene. it's windy and raining, but nothing changes as far as the cube, ladder, horse or flowers/cacti are concerned. [/quote] Problem is there but it really does not have much of a magnitude on you and people closest to you. You make no real active effort to stop it. [/spoiler][/quote]

[quote=Jovy]Actually it was pretty accurate for the most part, good job[color=transparent].[/color][img]http://cdn.steamcommunity.com//economy/emoticon/:D:[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger]If anyone wants me to make an analysis of theirs don't hesitate to ask :)[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]feel free to analyze mine[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger][quote=The_Nameless_Bard]feel free to analyze mine[/quote] [spoiler=The_NameLess_Bard] [columns][nextcol width=300][size=2] 1. The cube is blue and metallic, mirrored even. It's large enough to climb on, would appear to be made of tinted glass mirrors, resting on shifting sand, and it's not quite in the center of the desert. Like someone was trying to annoy a person who likes that sort of thing by just barely putting it shy of the geographical center. [/size] [nextcol width=20] [nextcol]Frist of all the color that you made your cube is blue. Blue is the color of the heavens, its most common meanings represent truth, intellect, spirituality, and loyalty, there are two other virtues linked to the color blue but we will get to them latter. It is also one of the reasons that the Virgin Mary is depicted wearing the color blue; however its metallic surface is “Mirrored” Mirrors throughout history, religions, and philosophy have had many different implications as to how individuals see themselves. The mirror is used by people to see things for how they appear not how things really are, early teachings state that people believed that the mirror reflects an actual image of one’s soul. And sometimes that image is negated/changed from its original, left becomes right, and right becomes left; but I do not believe that it negating all the good qualities that the color Blue represents in you, but instead it may be warping the way they are demonstrated. It is also interesting to point out that a cube has 6 sides, and a 6 sided mirror has many implications of its own but that will be important later on. Because the Mirrored cube is setting on “shifting sand” it may imply that it is not where it should be or that it is away from home. The mirrors are intact and not broken, which would symbolize darkness and doom. So that’s good, but cube does not know how to make a new home on its own and has been pushed aside by shifting sands, which by your statement “Like someone was trying to annoy a person who likes that sort of thing by just barely putting it shy of the geographical center” Could refer to people in your new surroundings, new friends, new teachers, new jobs. Etc. doing things differently then the way you did them growing up, and not having the power to change them, but instead just trying to deal with it made being pushed aside all the more easier.[/columns] [columns][nextcol width=300][size=22] The ladder is made of wood, but it's not an ordinary wooden ladder. It's dark and burnished to a bright shine. The ladder is leaning on the cube, perhaps to let one climb to the top of the cube more easily. [/size] [nextcol width=20] [nextcol]According to Taoism “Wood” sometimes represents Benevolence, and you are ready to bestow Benevolence to all who come your way. You did mention though that it is not “an ordinary wooden ladder. It's [b]dark and burnished to a bright shine.[/b]” You have so many things ready to say, but are far too shy to share them, so you have spent far more time practicing conversations in your head, practicing social skills, taking great pride in your hobbies, and your bard like signing skills. You also take great time in your physical appearance, and you are very ambitious about achieving your goals so that you can be ready when someone asks you to talk and have a conversation with them. You are ready so that when someone is enticed to climb that “[b]burnished to a bright shine ladder [/b]” you are ready for them, you have even placed the ladder against the cube so that people can climb! You are not a shut in, however you are afraid of letting others down so you take tedious amounts of time replaying past conversations in your head so you can be ready for the next one. So that that Ladder can be buffed and shined saying “I know what I’m talking about” or “I can do this” The 5th Virtue that blue represents is at the top of that Ladder and it is “Contemplation”[/columns] [columns][nextcol width=300][size=2] 3. There's a dapple grey horse running around the cube. Circle after circle, going nowhere.[/size] [nextcol width=20] [nextcol] As the Horse is running around the cube he is constantly peering into your soul seeking for, truth, intellect, spirituality, and loyalty, they are all inside but because the Cube is mirrored he only see’s a warped reality of these virtues; and because the cube is on the ground and not hovering at a height in which he can see the bottom. It forbids him from seeing himself at a vulnerable angle which would be looking up towards something other than himself and thus lowering his guard. Being able to look up would in fact cause him to bear his own soul before the cube. Something that is important to the Horse, he needs to bear his vulnerabilities before he can have an eternal relationship if he cannot see the cubes vulnerabilities he cannot become vulnerable himself. So he has just settled to run in an infinite limbo of madness seeking something that he knows is there but finds himself consistently pushed away by a warped picture of truth, intellect, spirituality, and loyalty, without ever experiencing the 6th virtue [/columns] [columns][nextcol width=300][size=2] 4. A single white rose blooms nowhere near the cube, next to an oasis.[/size] [nextcol width=20] [nextcol]The Rose has always been a symbol of love, the “Red Rose” defining male passion and love which happens to be why they are often given by men to the girl of their dreams so that they may see their passions. But you chose a “White Rose” which is the symbol of purity and innocence, you wish to pass these virtues down to your child one day, you want her to stand by your side learning everything see can before she ventures off into the world one day. However she may have left before you would have liked.[/columns] [columns][nextcol width=300][size=2] 5. Oddly enough, it's a thunderstorm. Approaching the cube. The thunder scares the horse out of its laps around the cube, causing it to knock over the ladder and slam into the cube. Instead of shattering, the cube seems to warp slightly and suddenly the whole scene is reset. The rose is unaffected entirely. [/size] [nextcol width=20] [nextcol] You fear sharing your world with someone who isn’t family. You fear that when troubles happen you will be left alone with no one but family by your side, even though the cubed was knocked backed and began to warp back into place. You were completely willing to let all of your virtues pour out! All of your truth, intellect, spirituality, and loyalty came out to protect your rose that is always by your side even though you may be far apart! You never turn your back on family. But letting someone come in and calling them family is your weakness and that brings me to the 6th virtue “Eternity” the bottom side of the cube. The bonds of family are eternal, but you treasure it so much that you have a hard time letting someone partake in your eternal family since they are the only things in this world that will last forever. And the thought of being away from family breaks your heart.[/columns][/spoiler] Most of this is mostly mumbo jumbo. If this is offensive I apologize in advance, I and I may have decided to read way too much into this, but this is my analysis I hope you enjoy it[/quote]

[quote=emoriam]Thanks for the analysis, Xeres ^^[/quote]
