[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.]

"High" is the best place for humans to watch the stars.

[all the disappointment at the failed telescope :( going to help with the towers then]

I guess it's not going to last long without support. Watch the stars, though? That's pretty romantic.

I get they're important overall, but I was more wondering about how they're important to you.

[ build build build ]

So, what next now...?
godfatherly: (glance)

Think we should use that too?
godfatherly: (listening)

Re: BUILD

[personal profile] godfatherly 2012-05-26 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[ Puts the portcullis in the wall aligned with the drawbridge, even though it just goes into the moat and isn't really useful. ]

Find a place for it.

[ Kind of paper mache-ing the outer wall with seaweed in circular and spiral patterns. ]
