CITRINE

[You are standing in an amphitheatre constructed of off-white marble with several rows of seats surrounding you on all sides; in the performance space at the bottom is another banquet table, with fourteen different crowns placed upon it. They are, in no particular order:

A jeweled tiara lined with diamonds
A crown of wheat
A faded kokoshnik
A coronet with its jewels missing
A gold diadem
A civic crown made out of oak leaves
A mural crown
A naval crown missing a sail
A hoop crown missing the top insignia
A crown of thorns
A striped nemes
A crown of dandelions
A plain modius
A coronation crown with beading on the side falling off]

[Mr. Right's voice echoes quietly off the amphitheatre walls, sounding closer than normal.]

Ladies and jellybeans, it's my pleasure to inform you that you've all been chosen as potential heirs to the throne of your own little kingdom. Isn't that something? Ah, but there's only room for one at the top, so you'll have to make sure you impress me enough to earn that title. We'll find out later on how much potential is really in you. Now I know most of you don't got experience with this sort of thing, so I'll guide you through the process. Think hard about what kinda ruler you'd like to be. King, queen, prince, princess, duke, duchess, marquis, marquise--pick whichever title suits you. I'm fond of "emperor" myself. Regardless, every monarch's gotta have a mark of their autonomy, so your first task is to pick a crown--any crown. Make sure it's one you can hold onto, though--once it's on your head, it won't be easy to keep it. And if you do, make sure you're prepared to carry its weight.

((Each team member present picks a crown from the pile to wear; one team member per crown, please. ONCE YOUR CHARACTER HAS DECIDED ON A CROWN, IT WILL NOT COME OFF. If you arrive past part one, make sure whatever crown you choose is not one that's already been chosen by your teammates.))

[ picks up the naval crown ]

Woah... not bad at all!

[ Picking up the hoop crown without a second thought ]

Sweet bling.

Pimpin'.

Why that one?

Right!?

[but do i go for the ironic tiara or something actually awesome?????]

Which one brings out my eyes?

Boats.

... fair enough!

I'm Kazuki, by the way. I forgot if we've ever met.

You say that like you're not wearing shades.

[ ... picks up the Coronet ]

If you have a chance to wear the crown, you gotta go all the way to awesome!

Percy.

... just me and knights?

Looks like it. We'll play a good game, yeah? Then other knight's Dave.

Could be my eyes for all you know.

[its so cool sooooo cooooooool]

But check out the hot Egyptian shit, dude.

Sup.

I'm not holding you back! But does it suit you?

Hi.

[ I'd call you young for a knight but I met Arya. ]

Yeah. It doesn't sound too hard --

Though if he makes you compete with everyone who picks the same crown as you, maybe you should go for something weird.

Well I'm sure as hell not going for the Jesus fashion statement, and everything else is either for chicks or incredibly lame, so hand it over.

[shes nice to have around for that reason]

Just we three kings, looks like.

That's a stretch.

Whatever.

[pointing at the diamond tiara]

You think that'd make make me look slimmer?

It would look dumb.
