dramatispersonae | CARNELIAN

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.

Uh... but thinking about the other stories! What secrets would Estelle, Serah and Mithos even have?

Sapphire at least is pretty straight-forward, they like food, maybe they just can't stop eating and regret it. A story with a moral on greediness!

I recognize Mithos... but I don't think I know the other people.

I could see that.

How do you start a story like that though...

Which one?

The eating one!

Maybe they could just run out of food and suddenly not be able to find a Knight for whatever reason...

Or maybe it's a game and they're the first ones there, and they eat everything before anyone else arrives!

[!!!] Goddess!

That would be a huge problem, for everyone!

Right!? So, it's be like...

"One day, Sapphire skipped breakfast for a game! They were so hungry by the time they arrived, that all the food on the tables couldn't satisfy them! Before anyone else could arrive, they plowed through everything with nary a burp!"

How's that for a start?

I think it's good! But how will we resolve it...

There's that food personae, right? Who deals out gross food... maybe she decides that if they're so hungry, she'll give them all the "food" they want!

And then they learn not to be so greedy and leave good stuff for everyone unless they wanna be super sick?

I don't really know Estelle and Serah very well, but Lloyd and Mithos do a lot together, don't they?

Yeah, they do. And I kinda know Serah a bit better than the other two! I think she and Estelle are pretty tight as they're both girl knights.

Maybe all three of them are very impressed by Lloyd and are in love with him, but they've all agreed to keep it to themselves because they know it would put too much pressure on him to choose.

T...that's...!

[ CRACKING UP, and giving a thumbs up. ]

It's not true at all, but it's a different way of handling things.

It's good, it's good! These are stories with super exaggerations anyway. Maybe they form an I Love Lloyd club and put pressure on anyone else who likes him...

Oh, and they're doing it because Lloyd has a lot of work to do.

But then the secret gets exposed somehow?! The story needs resolution, resolution! Maybe harem end...

That's a good idea.

That way everyone's happy! I bet Lloyd wouldn't be satisfied just leaving them all alone either.
