CITRINE

[dramatispersonae]

[ You are within a circle of trees and angels all made of water and all glowing faintly in your team's color. Somehow everything beyond this circle disappears in that glow. ]

ROUND THREE

[dramatispersonae]

[ The trees and angels surrounding you quietly melt away, replaced by thirteen archways, each with glowing writing upon them. You have the sudden awareness that you will need to explore three of these entrances. ]

THE WRITING ON THE ARCHES

[dramatispersonae]

A tale of determination. A tale of betrayal. A tale of a pioneer. A tale of wrath. A tale of friendship. Another tale of determination. A tale of a fight. Yet another tale of determination. A tale of bitterness. A tale of discord. A tale of partnership. A tale of trust.

DISCUSSION

[dramatispersonae]

 

ENTER AN ARCHWAY

[dramatispersonae]

[ Comment here every time you decide to pass through an arch. You will be presented with a scenario in each one, to which you must then react as a team. If you don't wish to decide on a reaction or solution to any given scenario, you may exit the archway and pick another one, but to finish the game you must solve three of the tales given to you here. ]

One of us, hm?

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstflower]

So we only need one person with troubles.

Re: DISCUSSION

[shockingability]

That's what it says. Guess we pick who wants to tell.

Re: DISCUSSION

[soft_reset]

Well, if it's a choice between the three of us... I suppose I could be the one to provide the answer.

Re: DISCUSSION

[shockingability]

I guess. It's not like Plum and I remember much.

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstflower]

I don't have any troubles...Except maybe for the mirrors but it wasn't a bit trouble.

Re: DISCUSSION

[shockingability]

The mirrors?

My family was kind of troublesome, but I just gave them the slip.

Re: DISCUSSION

[soft_reset]

The slip?

Re: DISCUSSION

[shockingability]

Yeah, I ran away.

Re: SUBMISSION

[soft_reset]

Memory: You see Citrine: Caramel, Rocky, Dio, and a small girl with long dirty blonde hair. They are very tense. This is a Trauma game. They must make decisions on who to inflict horrible punishments on, and who will receive horrible punishments... It is desperate from the beginning. Punishments pile up for Citrine to receive. Caramel doesn't want to allow Maple (the girl with dirty blonde hair) to take any of the painful punishments. Caramel experiences a combination of being in a state of almost-death, being burned from the inside out, and passing out into a nightmarish stupor where ALL OF THE PAIN CAN STILL BE FELT...

...And it doesn't matter, because Maple still is forced to take a very painful punishment. (Ripping off her fingernails.) No victory, no memories, Caramel spends at least two days recovering.
Character It Comes From: Caramel/Takano Miyo
Keyword: Despair

Re: DISCUSSION

Guess so.

Sorry, did I miss something?

Re: DISCUSSION

[soft_reset]

...I'm sorry.

Re: SUBMISSION

[dramatispersonae]

[ The silver hand closes and retreats into the depths. For a fleeting moment, the memory imparted to it ripples out and passes briefly, vaguely, through the minds of all those present. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[shockingability]

[didn't seem to expect that reaction]

Hu... What for?

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstflower]

The mirrors when we were chasing after the Darkness. Everyone's reflections were weird and saying mean things.

[though tilts her head while listening to him talk about his family]

Why did you run? Were they dangerous?
