[ You find yourselves in a small room, with only a fireplace, table, chairs, and all the crafting supplies you could need for company. After you settle down, Morgan's voice can be heard in the room. ]

Your task today is to help the Green Knight and I settle a bet. We are interested in hearing love stories; perhaps from your worlds, those you have learned in Aather, or even from your imaginations. The individuals who present a story that pleases the Green Knight or I the most will receive a special boon, in addition to any memories won.

Round One

[dramatispersonae]

To give you a better chance of success at winning a boon, you may ask a question. But be cautious, you are limited to one question and may only speak to one of us.

Also, remember that a broad question will receive an equally broad answer.

Re: Discussion

[trageteas]

You don't seem very enthusiastic.

[ex_resignation472]

Come on, it won't be that bad.

Re: Discussion

[fullmoonblooms]

Um...Do you have any idea of what would be best?

Re: Discussion

[ex_resignation472]

... Cute.

Final Question

[dramatispersonae]

[ Don't forget to state who you're asking . . . ]

Re: Final Question

[fraternalorders]

For the Lady, what sort of wooing techniques would cause you to fall for someone?

Re: Final Question

[afal]

Treating me as an equal.

Round Two

[dramatispersonae]

Create your main characters. The only limit here is that your story must contain two individuals.

((OOC: Dollmaker time! My personal suggestions would be the dwarf maker, Vikings!, or Heroine Creator. The sky's the limit though, so use whatever your heart desires.))

Equals, huh... well, that's natural.

What do we want our main characters to be like?

Re: Discussion

[fullmoonblooms]

That's a tricky one...We have so many options...

Re: Discussion

[fraternalorders]

They should have mutual respect for each other, then. Treating someone as an equal shouldn't be a technique to woo them, it should be inherent in the relationship.

Character Submission

Re: Character Submission

[ex_resignation472]

The main character: Here.
Her romantic rival and proper suitor: Here.
Their poor attempt at a third suitor: Here.

Round Three

[dramatispersonae]

Tell us the story of your characters. You may use any format that you wish: a simple oral tale, a ballad, a play, or you may write it down. The story must say something about love, but we leave it to you to determine what.

Re: Discussion

[ex_resignation472]

I'd say we could act it out, but certain parties here might not be up for it.

So, an oral tale, or a ballad? Not that I'm much of a singer myself.

Re: Discussion

[fullmoonblooms]

A ballad would be nice, but I'm not much of a song writer. An oral tale would likely be best.

Final Submission

[and then Estelle got carried away]

Violet had noticed Iris's skills from afar but never had a chance to face her in battle. When she heard she had joined a tournament, Violet signed up as well so she'd finally be able to see Iris in a one-on-one fight!

However, another fighter named Peter joined to try and fight against them both. He was so convinced he would win that he didn't take either Violet or Iris seriously. When he was finally up against Violet, he focused more on impressive looking moves to impress the audience and Iris and less on effective battle technique. After giving Violet an easy opening to exploit, she took it and defeated him!

After the rest of their fights, with both Violet and Iris winning every match, they go up against each other in the final round and have to fight for the title of victor! With the stakes raised high, Violet didn't want to disappoint Iris by being another easy win. She fought as hard as she could, and Iris did the same. The fight between the two of them lasted well until sundown and they were both too exhausted to continue, ending in a tie.

Still worried about being a disappointment, Violet apologizes to Iris for not fighting harder. Iris laughs and tells her that she was happy just to face her and that she joined the tournament in hopes that Violet would also be there and they could finally face each other.

Realizing they both had the same feelings for each other, they decide to share the title of victor and go home together, where they fought against each other regularly and continued to help each other improve.
