dramatispersonae

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. ...?

[pointing at its neck then]

Try wrapping it around here and see if it stays put...

I'm not sure what the wings would be for. A journal is pretty up to interpretation, though...

[ssss :>~]

[it seems fairly nonchalant]

. . . [pets the snake's head :|a And carefully drapes it around the statue's neck]

...Hmmmmm, looking good...

I was thinking imaginatively... she bends reality to suit her. And a journal could be used to protect her secrets from anyone who would manipulate them.

...It looks blank to us... That's pretty well hidden.

Right? Other than that, the rest of the stuff seems a little useless.

What else does it need?

Well, I won't mind it for now.

...Well... I have a request if it's like this...

[picks up the long-stemmed pipe '^']

A pipe?

Mirage suggested the journal... And, I think... the pipe would also be appropriate...

And we can decorate the heads if we want.

[twirls it in her fingers... kind of embarrassed]

This was the sort of object I used as a wand...

Ah, not bad! We should definitely add it then!

A different headpiece for each one? I like the laurels . . .

Okay. If that's all right...

[nods]

We could probably just use all of them up...

A variety of bold fashion statements for a bold woman, right?

But in the end, it proves that she's above all of them.

I like that way of looking at it.

[laughing a little]

...Then I think we're fairly settled!

[the statue is decorated with:
- a string of heads draped across her outstretched arms
- the boa curled around its neck
- the journal closed in one hand
- the pipe in the other hand
- decorations on each of the heads: glasses, fedora, bonnet, mohawk, clown nose, fuzzy earmuffs, the crown of laurels, the blindfold... BASICALLY EVERY SINGLE HEAD DECORATION]

...She is a woman without a head, but with great strength of heart. She has an array of different heads with distinct personalities, but nevertheless she is the superior being even without one. She has no fear: she will even draw attention to her headless neck with the snake, depicting strength of character along with danger to gawkers... She is a lady who bends reality to her will, and in the journal alone she keeps her secrets, hidden from those who would pry.

The pipe is used as a magic wand, of course~

". . . . . ."

... 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
