dramatispersonae | CARNELIAN

You're in the Ring by yourselves this time, surrounded by the same columns on all sides--except this time there is no spacing between them whatsoever, and the vines seem thicker.

A statue about four feet tall stands in the middle of the room; it is a woman in a simple tunic carved from white marble, but her head is missing. Although it's clearly a solid statue, it seems that the limbs can be moved and manipulated to imitate other positions.

Next to the statue is a chest (somehow) containing all of the following:

A round shield made of bronze
A boa constrictor (yes, it's alive)
A guitar with strap
A pair of thick horn-rimmed hipster glasses
A fedora
A bonnet
A mohawk
Platform shoes
A lei made of seashells
A belt of knives
A makeup kit
A peacock feather
A gun holster with guns in it
A pink mini-skirt
A clown nose
Fuzzy earmuffs
A pair of Groucho Marx glasses
A butcher's knife
Lipstick
A pair of striped arm-warmers
A pair of striped leg-warmers
A bodice
A cigar
A jeweled sword
Golden armlets
A pearl necklace
A series of shrunken severed heads on a string
A pair of black leather gloves
A cape
A wooden staff
Gold paint
A pair of sandals
A Hawaiian shirt
A big red bow
A spear
A blowtorch
A pair of black high heels
A pair of stick-on fuzzy eyebrows
A bow
A quiver of arrows
A long-stemmed pipe
A simple cloth shoulder-bag
An apron
A pair of fairy wings
A necklace of pure-cut diamonds
A blank journal
A golden crown of laurels, broken in twain
Glass-blown orbs in various colors
Purple nailpolish
A baby doll
A blindfold
A leather jacket
A plain white t-shirt
A simple, unadorned clay pot. ...?

". . ."

... Your directions are suddenly planted into your mind. They are as follows:

Embellish the statue with the accessories from the wardrobe in order to strengthen its appearance, for however you choose to define that. You may use as many as you like. When you turn-in your finished statue, please include why you consider your choices strengthening.

"Strengthen."

If we're supposed to strengthen her appearance, I guess we're going to have to make her pretty.

That's way too many things!! She would have to be pretty strong to hold it all...

Hahah... then maybe we could put everything on her with that motivation.

This game sounds like a waste of time already.

We're leaving the statue as it is. Since strength isn't something that can be seen at all, adding accessories isn't going to strengthen anyone.

". . . . . ."

... A piece of parchment appears hovering in mid-air. Your directions are planted into your mind as before. They are as follows:

Choose three battles from the following list that you think your statue could feasibly fight in, and list at least one reason why:

A raid
A skirmish
A naval battle
A navel battle
A fashion battle
An aerial battle
A tank battle
A space battle
A toy battle
A cooking battle
A dance-off
A marriage battle
A pet battle
A ranged battle
A stalemate
A scrimmage
A literary battle
A timed battle
A motherfucking walk-off

This game just keeps getting stranger.

I don't know what some of these things even are...

Are we just assuming she's good at everything?

Literary. Timed.

Navel.

You answered that easily--!?

... Any reason why you're adding Navel? Those are fine with me.

[ this ]

". . . give her a name." Mr. Right's voice sounds raspy, as though unused for a long period of time.

Are you okay...

H-Hmmm... We should name her something Carnelian-like, probably?

We'll call her Constellation...

The statue stands straight and lifts both arms to touch where its head should be, and jerks, as if surprised. It reaches for something at its right side, then its left side, but does not seem to find it... it turns to face you, but just as soon you're whisked to endgame...
