dramatispersonae | TURQUOISE

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, 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.

Very well. We'll need as much creativity as possible.

[Downing the glass! And coughing a little.]

Jasper, the day they couldn't sit still because of a ravenous infestation of ass mites.

A-Ass mites?

Something like that. If they tried to sit, the mites would only continue their gruesome journey even further up the team's collective insect-mauled asshole.

Instead they had to quest for enough insect repellant to drown a small village.

...and they would never sit again...

Exactly.

It's an exciting tale of danger and intrigue.

I...I guess that's one idea.

...okay.

Yeah? This is the idea we're going with?

I'm fine with that. In the end, it turns out the ass mites are actually our newest personae, and they learn to get along with one another. Maybe even with a little more understanding of the true meaning of friendship.

...this is too much creativity, you are taking the story in another direction, and Echo is not sure if that will win us the game.

The idea can stay, just stop adding to it.
