KUNZITE

[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 172.6.

[dramatispersonae]

PART 3

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.))

I think something fictional might be more suitable for something like this?

ANSWER

[dramatispersonae]

Re: ANSWER

[heroicmemory]

One cold morning in Camelot, three of Vanille's friends wanted to throw her a birthday party. However, they wanted it to be a surprise, so Barnaby was sent off to distract her while Fang and Lambdadelta set off to cook her a fantastic meal. Fang headed off to catch some rabbits for a hearty stew, while Lambdadelta started to bake a cake for Vanille. Meanwhile, Barnaby took her all around Camelot; first the greenhouse, then the site of the hot springs and finally the outskirts of the town before heading back to the hall, where the surprise was being planned.

Vanille was definitely surprised when she arrived, and the four of them happily enjoyed the meal together.

PART 4

Between dinner and dessert at the party, everyone played a game! It was a thrilling, exciting, and close match, but of course at the end of a game there's always a victor and a loser. The loser was of course assigned to dishes duty for evening☆ Oh, but it wasn't the birthday girl! And it sure wasn't me, either.

RESULT
