CITRINE

[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, 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.

The new kid suggested something abou them fighting over how to save someone else the best. But I'm good with anything. Except romance.

Kinda depressing.

Re: GENERAL DISCUSSION

Well it's not like it's really gonna happen to them.

Re: GENERAL DISCUSSION

[mythlology]

As long as it's got a good ending.

Karkat's kinda prickly and has weird names for things. We should throw some of that in.

Re: GENERAL DISCUSSION

[ferrocious]

Like what?

Re: GENERAL DISCUSSION

[mythlology]

"Bark beast" for dog.

Re: GENERAL DISCUSSION

[ferrocious]

[pfftahaha laughs]

I don't know, that sounds pretty accurate to me.

Re: GENERAL DISCUSSION

[mythlology]

But you can just say "dog"!

-- anyway, I've heard about a million prophecies. Do you want to just plagiarize one?

Re: GENERAL DISCUSSION

[ferrocious]

Maybe I don't know what a dog is. But when you say "bark beast", I get it.

And sure, I don't know any.

Re: GENERAL DISCUSSION

[mythlology]

The ones I remember all rhyme.

Re: GENERAL DISCUSSION

[ferrocious]

Yeah? Maybe we'll be able to do something with them anyway.

Re: GENERAL DISCUSSION

[mythlology]

What do you want to happen in the story? Like, ideas for the clumsiness?

Re: GENERAL DISCUSSION

[ferrocious]

I guess it could just be like, someone's always tripping over stuff and stubbing their toes? Maybe they get a prophecy or whatever that it'll stop but it turns out to be a lie and they got less clumsy on their own anyway.

Re: GENERAL DISCUSSION

[mythlology]

Do you trip over stuff a lot?

Re: GENERAL DISCUSSION

[ferrocious]

...

No.
