dramatispersonae | ✩ Turquoise

Each team finds themselves in . . . what appears to be a space trying desperately to imitate, perhaps, someone's grandmother's overly-cluttered attic. At the very least, there are things everywhere, perched precariously on shelves and ledges, on tables, under tables, tables on tables, cupboards, closets . . .

There is an elaborate gramophone on one of the tables that begins to play with slow, winding crackle of static:

"There's a lot to making things, you know? A lot of components, a lot of pieces, a lot of parts . . . I'm sure you know that! It would be impossible not to. After all, humans themselves are made of a lot of parts! I'll bet if we took you apart you'd be stunned at how many parts there really are, you know, parts that are soft and squishy and parts that are hard and parts that were hurt as a child and parts that yearn for the future . . . well. We're not going to! If we took you apart there'd be nobody left to play the game. But! I wonder what parts you'd show if we were to take you apart just a little . . . ah. Or, just—what parts you'd show if we asked. What will you show? And I suppose, after all, you're each a part of a part of something else, and you'll have to work with what you have . . . but! Maybe that's part of the game. Hmmm . . . parts that are safe to show and parts that aren't—opening up your ribcage to show your heart, now, that would be something! I really think that would be something. But—it's up to you."

Instructions!

In the room, you'll find . . .

✩ a wardrobe full of costumes & clothing (dresses! monocles! fluffy bunny hats!)

[looks at the koala :|a]

[... picks up the box that says 'secrets'.

stares at it.]

I don't want to play this game.

Is there something wrong with it?

[huffff]

I don't want to show anyone anything...

Oh, okay. Sounds good to me.

... But— don't let me... get in the way or anything... if you want to have fun with the stuff that's there, that's fine too.

[trying to chew on the noodles :( blech]

Might as well.

[puts a bunny hat on naoto!!!]

[... allows this]

Why a bunny hat?

Your hair reminds me of a bunny's head, that's all.

A bunny's head... I guess that's not the worst thing to be similar to.

[... stands up. picks up a wizard hat. Puts it on your head.]

[:o!!!!!]

Why am I wearing this?

Well, if I'm wearing a hat, you have to wear a hat... I couldn't think of an animal one that fits, so you have to be a wizard.

Oh sure. Hey, do me a favor and make a weird face for a sec?

Okay...?

[makes... face!!]

[TAKES A PICTURE :D]

[... blink]

Now what's that for?

[ TURQ DID SOMETHING AMAZING, and by that I mean they constructed a robot out of all their materials. A drum, covered in paint and feathers and macaroni art, is the belly of the robot, and its legs are chairs.

On top of the drum is a box ('secrets') filled with poetry volumes, and on top of that is one of the memory-sharing glass spheres. It has no memory in it! Instead a face is drawn onto it in makeup, and red yarn is thrown all over it as hair. It is also wearing a bunny hat.

The 'arms' are lengths of rope, ending in cutlery fingers. Both bottles of wine, the empty and full ones, are in the hands. There is the stuffed koala in its lap, along with probably the entire pile of keys.

There are eyeball stickers everywhere, including on Naoto's cheek and on Toki's forehead. Several tiny imitation robots are made out of modeling clay and placed around the robot. One of the tiny imitations is larger, sitting on the robot's 'shoulder', and seems to be made using a hammer as the body.

At its feet is a mirror.

It looks like a mess.]

[ FOR PART TWO

NAOTO AND TOKI POINT AT THEIR ROBOT MONSTROSITY,

SAY "WE MADE THAT",

THEN SIT BACK DOWN ]

Tell me why you chose to do what you did!

Turquoise decided to build that thing because why not.

Because.
