dramatispersonae

[After the requisite amount of time, a blinding flash fills your vision. When it clears again, you find yourself standing (or sitting, for the less balanced among you) on the beach … except you’re a hell of a lot smaller. And the sand dunes are a hell of a lot bigger.

You and your knights are each approximately an inch tall, with exceptions made for the lucky dragons and other large non-humanoids, who are the correct size, proportionally. A large flat stretch of sand is on one side of you, with a fresh mound of easily moldable sand next to that. Not that there’s any shortage of sand on the beach. In addition to that, you will find a box full of tools that you can use to craft your sandcastles, including shovels in all shapes and sizes, buckets, cups, and other basic sand stuff. There is also a box labeled SPECIAL SUPPLIES, which has the following items in it:

+ One flag (in team colors)
+ One collapsible drawbridge (push the button to make it life-size)
+ One collapsible portcullis (same as the drawbridge)
+ One cute plastic dragon (person-height)
+ One packet of “instant moat” (just add water!)

You will find that all the tools work at amazing speeds with very little effort. Constructing an epic multi-story castle is very doable even within this short time frame.]

What kind of ideas do you have so far?

Maybe if we made it based off of the Persona. We could make it look like a machine castle.

She might like that a lot, too, since, she likes that stuff.

So . . . we should try to make gears? And, everything needs to be angled, for sure.

Right, gears and angles.

[drawing a few things in]

Maybe we can use the portcullis as a trap door that drops into the dungeon too! We'll just dig a hole and put them into the ground like this, see?

[nodnod!!]

That's good. And-- we can use the moat, and the drawbridge, of course. And, just because we should use the dragon, let's put him with the flag, on the highest point.
