dramatispersonae

citrine

[ You find yourselves in what looks like a bare-walled kindergarten classroom, with a cluster of scaled-down desks and chairs in the center of the room. One wall has a large blackboard and a large selection of colored chalks; the wall opposite it is covered in shelves and shelves of the sort of art supplies you’d find in a kids’ classroom. Tiny scissors, colored paper, glitter, rolls of butcher paper, markers, paint, stickers, tissue paper… on one shelf in particular, there’s an hourglass counting down until, apparently, the end of the game.

The other two walls are blank. ]

[c-chuckle] Then thank goodness it was temporary.

You can keep this face for a long time.

I would certainly like to.

Good.

Have you any ideas on what types of games to play?

I'd like an obstacle course, but those wouldn't work out very well. So something that requires a lot of thought.

I enjoy intellectual pursuits as well. Word games? Puzzles? Riddles? Trivia?

Riddles are probably not very original. Trivia could help Aather.

It could. It would test the heroes' knowledge of the world they are saving.

And how much we know about each other. There could be different sections: trivia about the world, about the personae, and about the different people trapped here.

[nods!]

And each question is worth a certain amount of points. More difficult questions are worth more.

Round one should be about the world. Not just the monsters, but what you can do with them. Maybe things you can or can't cook with the monsters. That way, if you don't get the right answer, you can get it in the process.

Ah! Of course! Everyone walks away from the came far more educated than they were before.

And if round two is about the persona, it can also be about where you go when they need help. Also about the types of games they run and how you can win them usually.

Excellent, Riku! I wish the Personae ran games like this more often.

[glancing over at Drift] Though Drift made a valid point. There should be a creative element to the game as well.

Maybe that's what the third round is. They make up questions about themselves and other teams, and those get passed on. And the fourth round is where those are answered.

[nods!]

And there is no limit on what sorts of questions may be invented.

But since they'll have an idea of how the game works, they'll have to rank them in order of difficulty.

Hn, I suppose we should be writing these ideas down.

[getting some pencils and paper in order to do just that]

There should be prizes based mostly off of the points, but one team can win off the most creative questions.

[smiles]

Good. I think we have the basic outline then.

Citrine is a different team now. Way back when I first got here, they would've gone for something with fighting.

There is a time for fighting, and a time for more intellectual pursuits. It all depends.

Fighting in games gets tricky, since none of us really want to hurt each other.
