HELIODOR

[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]

I'll get to work!

... What is a whimsical speech even supposed to sound like...???!

Isn't that one of Discourse's things? Maybe he could help you!

... He probably could, couldn't he...

What? How would I know about something like that?

You just seem really whimsical!

. . .

It's true!

In what fashion?

You prance sometimes!

I guess Enigma would be more whimsical than you, though.

Then Enigma is whimsical. That has nothing to do with me.

You can be too! You're just not whimsical all the time.n

Well how would you write a speech.

I would carefully consider all of the facts at hand and draft an appropriate response to them. I hardly see what is whimsical about that.

See, even you can't do it...! Speeches are the opposite of whimsical to begin with!

Hmph. I hardly understand what ridiculous notions of whimsy the ot of you have to begin with that you see me as your role model.

Compared to the rest of us...

Maybe I'll just do what I tried last time there was a game like this...
