[ The hall that you find yourselves in is absolutely frigid. There is a light meal laid out on the table, but everything has gone cold and hard. If you glance out the windows, a blanket of snow lies across the grounds. ]

♞ Part One ♞

[dramatispersonae]

[ The Green Knight's voice can be heard clearly, by everyone in the room ]

Your first trial, heroes, is one of choice. You must choose a leader for your team, one who will guide and direct you for the remainder of the game. A "fair maiden" must also be chosen from amongst you. I leave defining the characteristics of you maiden entirely in your hands.

When your decision has been made, inform me of the names of the two individuals and why they were chosen.

♞ Part Two ♞

[dramatispersonae]

A gallant hero must kiss the fair maiden, if they wish to receive a token of the maiden's affection. You may choose not to bestow a kiss on the fair maiden, but know that the token cannot be earned in any other way.

You may find it useful to posses, at a later point in our game.

♞ Part Three ♞

[dramatispersonae]

[ Suddenly, the team leader will find themselves kneeling down and bending their head to expose their neck. Next to them, a green ax has appeared. ]

One of you must take up the ax and remove the head of your leader, in order for the game to end. However, there can be a substitution, if you wish.

Heroes, will you allow your leader to play to the game's conclusion . . . or will you take their place under the ax? A final decision must be made quickly.


((OOC: With group consensus, any other teammate may take the place of your elected team leader. The beheadings must be carried out by one of the teammates not getting their head chopped off . . .))

Neji and Kyouko are my choices.

Re: Discussion

[shipwithwings]

But we've only two maidens to choose between.

Re: Discussion

[uroboric]

What? For which role?

Re: Discussion

[playfreebird]

A fair maiden...

[do we have such a thing?]

Re: Discussion

[dormancy]

Our fair maiden, of course. You suit the role and the kind of maiden I would prefer in this tale.

Re: Discussion

[fallinflames]

...

Re: Discussion

[playfreebird]

[mostly keeping an eye on how Kyouko responds to that suggestion]

Re: Discussion

[sticksofthejedi]

...I suppose I can agree to Neji as the leader.

Re: Discussion

[dormancy]

Since we don't know what the roles are going to end up being, it would be best to choose someone who can take care of themselves, don't you think?

Re: Discussion

[uroboric]

I'm not sure I really suit the roll of a fair anything. Do I look like a "gentle flower" to you?

Re: Discussion

[dormancy]

Oh, but I enjoy your thorns much more.

Re: Discussion

[uroboric]

. . .Fine, whatever. At least I'll probably get to sit out of whatever stupid activity this freak dreams up.

Re: Discussion

[shipwithwings]

He said that it is up to us to define the characteristics of a maiden; you may change the interpretation of the role however you like so that it suits you.

Re: Discussion

[playfreebird]

It would be.

[reminded a bit of the damsel in Odile's game]

Not that any of us are delicate, but it's difficult to predict what it will mean to be a fair maiden. It's best to give the primary roles to people who will be able to handle whatever they turn out to be.

Re: Discussion

[dormancy]

I certainly hope not.

Re: Discussion

[playfreebird]

[vaguely surprised, but not arguing... for once]

What about the maiden?
