dramatispersonae

You can see the other teams, but there is an invisible barrier preventing you from hearing them. You can assume that they can't hear you, either. There is a hefty serving of sweet wine and liquor (and tea, for you), should you choose it. With a loaf of bread that you can slice. Nimue is in the center of the formation of teams, and when she speaks, you can hear her loud and clear.

"Storytelling has been a tradition of the knights of Camelot for some time. They would tell of the awesome feats of their king, and of their fellow knights... and... they were also prone to exaggeration in some cases."

There appears a small set of cards next to the liquor. You can read them, or you can implicitly understand them if you can't read.

"What feats have the heroes of Aather accomplished, I wonder? And what... exaggerations they may take? Before you, you will find prompts for your tales. You will write one for yourselves, for a set of knights, and for another team. I will select the most inspiring, as will your peers."

She tilts her head. "Ah, perhaps it is bad to encourage grandstanding..."

But before you can ask her, she vanishes.

Does that mean it'll be hard or easy to work with the prompt that's your brother's team...?

Well. . . his teammate told me a secret just a few hours ago. So maybe it will be easy after all.

A secret that can be made into a story--? Lucky...

He said that even if he's a gentleman, his middle name is Lawless. That sounds like the sort of secret we can work with, doesn't it? ♥

A secret habit of causing trouble--? Or maybe just quietly breaking the rules...

Not very quietly. I'm sure you heard the fireworks earlier; they weren't very subtle.

Hmmm, what should the first story be. . .? Maybe something for Nimue, since it's about a stranger and Kunzite.

Oh, was he behind the fireworks...

...Do you think? In that case, wouldn't it be best if she was just in desperate need of tea and good company... Though I'm not sure how scandalous that would be.

We can save the scandal for the second story. . . do you know those knights at all? I remember the one, a little.

I've talked to Flynn a few times, but I don't really know him well... He's polite and helpful. I talked to the other one for a game once, but...

[shrug]

No impression? Mm, Flynn struck me as very polite too. . .

[nods...]

Flynn's one of Beauty's knights-- especially, I mean. That's really the only other thing I know...

What would give him a bad day?

[And suddenly KIRA.]

Well, depending on the type of story, there could be a great deal for them to have a bad day.

[Oh, looking over these story prompts.]

[A KIRA APPEARS]

--Oh, Kira... Depending on the type of story?

What sort of story were you thinking of?

A bad day for a pair of knights.

Ah, it could be so many things. But isn't one of the sad things about knights is they don't always have a teammate to comfort them?

That is sad. . .

Oh, but these two...it's THEIR bad day, so they're already companions by that points, aren't they?

[I

hmm]

...They would be, wouldn't they.

[covers her mouth]

Ah, imagine!

Going through your day, deciding to work together. Trying to help the heroes, just give out some quests, protect people from monsters! But nothing goes right. They trip and fall in the mud, they get hit by stray shoe because two people are fighting, get batted around by a monster.

And then it rains!

And they're hurt and wet and miserable and how surely even their linen is in the wash. What can they do for even a bit of an upside?

And Sir Flynn is so polite. He has to offer anything he can to help Sir Ace.

[...setting aside his teacup... to hide his face in his hands :')...]

Oh yes. He is always quite the gentleman, but he can be quite shy.

But his desire to help his fellow knight is more powerful than his shyness.

[TEASIP]
