[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.

...Is it a girl bear or boy bear?

Re: KUNZITE

[shednotearsformagic]

Hmmm....girl, I think.

Re: KUNZITE

[surefire]

Hmmmm~.

Lady Beary Fangsparkles♪

Re: KUNZITE

[supersensitive]

[s-smiles.]

Miss Beary. Cute. I guess after we sew her up, we should find something to do with the extra thread...? And maybe the bottles...

Re: KUNZITE

[shednotearsformagic]

Ah, truly a wonderful name.

[Looking at the red thread thoughtfully.]

Well, usually red thread is the thread of fate.

Re: KUNZITE

[surefire]

[giggle] So perhaps its fate is linked to one of the other stuffed animals?

Re: KUNZITE

[supersensitive]

...The person one, maybe...? Wouldn't a bear probably eat the other two... Though I guess that's a way of fates being linked together too.

Re: KUNZITE

[shednotearsformagic]

Well, it depends how hungry she is. Though usually the red thread is a more romantic concept.

Re: KUNZITE

[surefire]

Maybe she loves her so much she just wants to eat her up~♥

Re: KUNZITE

[supersensitive]

...Well, that's cuter.

Re: KUNZITE

[shednotearsformagic]

And it has such drama, a tense love of predator and prey, but caring too much despite their differences.

Re: KUNZITE

[surefire]

I like it! [brings the ragdoll over closer]

Re: KUNZITE

[supersensitive]

That sounds good. So Beary gets sewn up and... are we attaching her to the doll? Maybe we could soak the thread in whichever bottle sounds closest to that kind of relationship...?

Re: KUNZITE

[shednotearsformagic]

Hmmm, no, we should tie their hands together. Usually it's fingers, but that's not really possible.

But soaking the thread would be good.

[Looking at the bottles.] Kindness, I think?

Re: KUNZITE

[surefire]

It could be all of them at once. Love can be awfully complicated~.

Re: KUNZITE

[supersensitive]

Well, and 'betrayal' and 'fear' and 'grudge' all kind of match the complicated part of it, too... That sounds good.

Re: KUNZITE

[shednotearsformagic]

Ah, true enough. And if they're still together despite that...well, just makes it stronger, doesn't it?

[Or more unhealthy, whichever.]

Re: KUNZITE

[surefire]

[shh shh!!! this is the pinnacle of romance!]

[in that case, opening up the bottles and soaking the string in each one, then tying one end of it to the bear]

Re: KUNZITE

[shednotearsformagic]

[Really, who can tell.]

[I will sew up this hole in Lady Beary though.]

Re: KUNZITE

[supersensitive]

...I guess we can take matching her up with the other doll as the step that's completely blacked out... Unless there's something else you guys want to do?

Re: KUNZITE

[surefire]

I think we've done a splendid job already.

Re: KUNZITE

[shednotearsformagic]

And it is a worthy extra step.

Re: KUNZITE

[supersensitive]

[nods.]

She's a great bear.

Re: KUNZITE

[surefire]

Of course.

[and then the bear and the doll were tied together by ~*fate*~]

Re: KUNZITE

[shednotearsformagic]

Hm, she is.

[Fate~]
