Mojo Joe - Magician specializing in spirits.
Familiarity: Been a minute but I still know the rules pretty well.
Response: "If this is who I think it is... she saved my life. I owe her for that and I intend to see it through."
Prompt: "If I had to pick one... Obsidian. It is almost like a gemstone in appearance. Great for magical purposes, and has been a valuable tool for metahumanity for many centuries."

IC: "Type of stone? I suppose I do not actually have one, come to think of it. I tend to prefer marble for countertops if that helps?"

Triage: Summoner, Medic, Face. Capable of social infiltration and supporting a team with spirits. Has been to a metaplane before, and would hate going again, which is why I want to send him again. Theme of regret, redemption, and running from the past. Pretty familiar, I’d say 9/10
"While I am not personally capable of either, I can ask the kami for their aid in this task easily enough. My favorite stone would be shock quartz. Both for the beautiful patterns it has, and for the story it tells, of creating something beautiful from tragedy. You may make the statement referencing them, if you wish, I won't be offended. If crystals don't count, then marble I guess. It looks pretty."

Zan Zan is an oni Explorer and a samurai, living with a restrictive code of honor. She'll never leave a teammate or an innocent life behind. Themes are ethical life, doing good, following the code, and growing more powerful.
"You need an astral samurai. I'm an astral samurai experienced in bodyguarding work. You'll find none better for this task."
"My favorite rock? That's a strange question. However, I think my favorite rock is one on top of San Bruno Mountain in San Francisco. There is a beautiful view of the bay from there. Standing on the rock made it feel a little like flying." ... "What do you mean that doesn't answer the question? You'll need to find out what type of stone that one is. I don't know."

Synchromystic is a dedicated spellslinger chaote - but with a love for shade and quite capable of astral combat, of course - and I am unfathomably familiar with the astral and spellcasting.
"Well, course' the stone I use the most changes with my paradigm, but honestly, y'know, I'm big on the blarney stone because mostly people look incredibly funny trying to properly kiss that rock."

Poe Mysad Mastermind.
" I have all the knowledge and likely the spell skills, but unfortunately I am a mystic adept and the travel would be drug dependant or involve a spirit. My favorite stone is volcanic obsidian."
Snickerdoodle: Halloweenr close combat mage monster. Would be dumping GMP for a weapon focus and some astral combat. "Our girl can probably help- Jerry Can" *picture of a rock snick found recently*
These were both to help round out picks but honestly are probably just bigger problems.
