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.

There were slightly more important things happening at the time.

Like what?

Like I dunno, you arriving.

[..... HUFFS]

[WAVES A HAND]

Lets. Lets just get this game over with, okay.

Fine. It's just three stories, correct?

Looks like it. So it'll be easy enough.

So they should be proper stories, right? "Once upon a time," that sort of thing.

You can start them off like that but they need to be a lot more exciting.

Should someone duel someone else?

That's a good start but it's too simple! Almost everyone will predict that two opposing sides will eventually duel in some shape or form. You have to have a good twist!

What's a twist for a story, though?

After Rival A fatally wounds Rival B, it's revealed that Rival B was Rival A's lover whom he had thought was dead all along.

[kyaaaaaa] Oh no, but that's so sad ...

A real heartbreaker.

[nodnod]

But see? Suddenly the story is a lot more exciting!

Is that the story that happens to us??

We can roll with it.

[pause]

But if it's us, obviously we get a happy ending.

I don't want an unhappy ending.

Looks like we can agree on something!

Sometimes you're reasonable, I guess.

I have to be. I'm the big brother here!

Big brother?

Besides Rabbit, I've been in Aather the longest! So I have gained all sorts of wisdom.

[LOOKING HIM OVER DUBIOUSLY]

What.
