[Game 158]

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself in a traditional Japanese room (the floor is made of tatami and two of the walls are made of shoji-- you get the picture). It smells a bit musty, like it hasn't been used in a while, but everything is strangely dust-free. There's a small old-fashioned TV in one corner, and against a different wall is a set of crooked shelves filled with knickknacks.

There is a small table in the center of the room. Pillows to sit on in your team color surround it, and several items rest on top of it. One is a softly-glowing square lantern with flowers delicately painted on the outside in your team color. It provides enough light to illuminate the room while still casting some eerie shadows. On either side of the lantern are two boxes. One is about the size of a large shoebox and made of colorful washi paper. The other is a large plastic craft bin.

Next to the boxes is a sheet of printer paper with instructions printed out on it.

[examines the instructions from different angles]

So what are we supposed to do...

Re: KNIGHTS

[hunting]

Make it up.

Re: KNIGHTS

[aheroemerges]

Well, I guess I can do that!

Re: KNIGHTS

[hunting]

[Holds up nail clippers.]

What do you think the point of these is?

Re: KNIGHTS

[aheroemerges]

I dunno. It's not like stuffed animals have nails to clip, right...?

Re: KNIGHTS

[hunting]

Unless we're supposed to clip the things we're stuffing them with.

Re: KNIGHTS

[aheroemerges]

Like the rice? We could try it!

Re: KNIGHTS

[hunting]

[That is a thing that is happening now. Before stuffing and moving onto the careful sewing. :|a]

Re: KNIGHTS

[aheroemerges]

[going to pick up a bear and do the same. at least until the sewing part, where he's kind of sitting with a needle and some red thread, unsure what to do next... 8|;;]

Re: KNIGHTS

[hunting]

[Is in the process of making an awesome button/yarn collar for his incest but notices the dismay.]

What's wrong?

Re: KNIGHTS

[aheroemerges]

Uh... So we gotta sew, huh.

[WAT DO]

Re: KNIGHTS

[hunting]

It's not that hard. I kind of taught myself for a quest. Here, I'll do the first stitches to show you.

[Holding out hand for the plushie.]

Re: KNIGHTS

[aheroemerges]

[hands it over! watching...]

Re: KNIGHTS

[hunting]

[Demonstrates sewing first three or so stitches very slowly...]

The cross-stitching method is probably easiest...

Re: KNIGHTS

[aheroemerges]

Huh...

[watching! but doesn't really look so enthusiastic about this whole sewing business]

Re: KNIGHTS

[hunting]

I don't think speed really matters. Give it a try.

[Handing plushie and need back to him.]

Re: KNIGHTS

[aheroemerges]

[takes it! and starts on one of the clumsiest and most rushed sewing jobs ever, with large and loose stitches... but at least it's not totally falling apart?]

Re: KNIGHTS

[hunting]

[Is meanwhile writing "Rue" on a white piece of construction paper. In his own blood. As one does.

But keeping an eye on Judai's work now and then.]

... it needs improvement.

Re: KNIGHTS

[aheroemerges]

Hey, if it works, it works!

Re: KNIGHTS

[hunting]

I guess it could be worse.

... what traits are you giving yours?

Re: KNIGHTS

[aheroemerges]

Let's see... It's gotta be three, right? How 'bout, uh... "passionate, brave, and friendly"?

Re: KNIGHTS

[hunting]

Passionate?

Re: KNIGHTS

[aheroemerges]

Yeah! Enthusiastic, with lots of energy!

Re: KNIGHTS

[hunting]

Like you?

Re: KNIGHTS

[aheroemerges]

Heh, maybe sorta like that.

Now I just gotta figure out what extra to do...
