CARNELIAN

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself in an unassuming room. It's spacious, though it's fairly empty except for the furniture in the center. There, a collection of chairs are gathered around a large table. ...Or, at least, they're chair- and table-like things. The chairs are made all of one piece, of an unidentifiable plasticky substance, and they're fairly uncomfortable. The table is made of the same substance, and is just a round platform on a pedestal.

On the table, however, are pens and paper, and in the center of the table there's an opaque cloud, spinning slowly in swirls of mist.

Instructions come both as a voice and as words in the mist, and you instinctively know you can answer either by speaking back or by writing down your answer and throwing it into the cloud.

Your number appears in the clouds for a second, then vanishes as another number appears, counting quickly up to 138.6

Please describe an event—something you experienced together, something one of you experienced alone, or even something entirely fictional.

No answer is more correct than any other answer, but details may be to your advantage later.

((All teams need to be finished with this part before anyone can move on to part 4 - which is the final and most important part—so please try to be as expeditious as possible! Aim for a story around 100-300 words.))

Burst out of a monster's stomach from the inside!

ANSWER

[dramatispersonae]

Re: ANSWER

[fighting_alena]

There was once a young adventurer girl, as strong as she was bold, wearing an orange jacket as she adventured across the countryside. She ate all of her meals from what she could find nearby, and slept only under the comfort of the stars, but she had high spirits as she was living an exciting life she chose for herself.

One day, right after she fell asleep, she had the misfortune of a very large monster finding her. This monster had a mouth as big as it was tall, and it opened its jaw wide and swallowed the adventurer girl whole.

The adventurer's journey may have ended there, except that the horrible smell of the monster's insides were enough to shock her awake. As she struggled to continue breathing, she drew her weapon and pierced a hole through the soft flesh of the monster's belly.

The monster cursed its own folly, but it would never have the chance to eat any other adventurers ever again. And luckily for the adventurer, the monster's own flesh turned out to be edible. Ironically she would be dining on it for breakfast, in small bites, of course.

She lived happily ever after.

PART 4

[dramatispersonae]

Please describe how the event you detailed in the previous section would have occurred if someone had unexpectedly given someone a makeover.

You submit your answer, and then see a different scene play out in the mist... like this except.

When it's done, you exit to endgame.
