CORAL

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.

[HUFFS] Then why would anyone say so!

I-it's Ferris . . .

What's that supposed to mean?

Ferris enjoys stories, exaggeration, and gossip about relationships and carnalities that are often just hypothetical.

You get used to it...

...

So she lied??

Definitely exaggerated.

... that isn't nice at all ...

I'm sorry you were given mistaken impressions...look, can I do anything to make you feel better about this?

I don't even know what to actually believe any more!

*:(

that's no good :(a...

okay pulls something out of a pocket and offers it to her*

Here.

[takes it ... ? and blinks down at it]

Oh, it's cute ...

There's nothing too confusing about a cute thing, right? It's yours.

For me ... ?

[petting it between its little ears '^']

*ducks his head a little*

If you want.

... Thank you! I'll give it a good name.

No problem. I'm glad you like it.

...d'you remember your name, by the way...? Or have one you'd like people to call you by, at least.

The only name I remember isn't mine ... [tightening her grip on the stuffed kitty for a moment]

--Ah, but! Kit said I could be Nightingale.

...that's a pretty name.

It's an elegant one, which is fitting for me!

Why elegance?

Because I'm a princess, after all! [tosses her head]

Oh! I didn't know. That's pretty cool!

You should be able to tell just by looking at me!

Well, I won't forget.

Good!
