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.

We'll just win as many games as we can then!

Do we win a lot?

Well I've won back over 40 so far so yeah, we do pretty good.

Over forty?

I dunno, I guess the numbers are different for everyone but yeah. Forty four.

...

How long have you been here ... ?

[rubs an arm]

Half a year.

[that is the most terrible thing I have heard so far D|]

H... half a year? Does it really take them so long to get things sorted out--!

[SAYING IT OUT LOUD IS PRETTY GOSH DARN TERRIBLE, NGL]

For me, I guess so. I've seen a lot of people come and go though.

Does this mean we are trapped here forever?

[headpats!]

Of course not! You're crazy if you think we'd let them keep us here for that long!

[?????]

But half a year ... that's so long!

Yeah, I know but . . . but it's not like I can do anything about that!

Is your brother here?

No.

Well, that is foolish. You should complain to the people in charge at once.

If I could, I would.

What on earth is stopping you?

The personae.

Are they really so intimidating?

Some of them are dangerous.

Then I will scold them for you.

Don't even think about it.

[grabbing her arm tight]

[squeaks D|] --Unhand me!
