TIGER'S EYE

[ 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. ]

[ Glowing writing sketches itself out beneath the surface of the water or imprints itself on your mind if you cannot see or read. ]

Tell me of a time, whether here or in your world before, when one of you suffered and endured a trial.

[ The shape of a silver hand glows just beneath the surface of the water, waiting to be touched and imbued with the memory requested. ]

Memory: (Describe the chosen memory in second person--it doesn't have to be enormously detailed, but it should give a good impression.)
Character It Comes From:
Keyword: (Assign a keyword to this memory that you feel best sums up the experience, ideally a conceptual noun, e.g. treachery or avarice.)

[ The glowing writing appears again. ]

Choose your team's most prized virtue, which you most aspire to uphold.

[ The shape of a silver hand glows just beneath the surface of the water, waiting to be touched and imbued with the virtue requested. ]

Virtue: (This does not have to be a classical or cardinal virtue. "Curiosity" is as acceptable as "charity.")
Why Did You Choose This Virtue?

[ 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. ]

A tale of despair. A tale of determination. A tale of betrayal. 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.

[ 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. ]

I have that time I was put on an actual trial.

Were you a criminal?

I'm an idol. Entertainment is illegal where I'm from, I'm a criminal for singing.

Haa, really? That's rough. Well, nice to meet you, ms. Law-Breaking Idol.

[Curtsies]

Melody. And what's your name?

Roaring Lion! I'm a hero -- I get paid to save people's lives and stop criminals, and do idol-things, like photoshoots and interviews, and they broadcast it on TV, as entertainment.

Really? That's great! You must make a lot of people happy too.

Of course! Because I am me, who is great, and great at his job, and so people are happy when they get to watch me.

Ah, that said, I don't have any trials yet, or much of anything at all, that I remember.

[Wow confident, but hey idols]

I can take care of it if you don't have many memories.

Do you mind talking about that?

Of course! But then, also of course, I will help with other things-- even without memories, I can add value to our experience so that were the most sparkling team.

Memory: You're in handcuffs, in a rough itchy prison dress they've forced you into, being escorted to a trial with your two friends. One of them is 11 years old. Cameras flash and news reporters stand around, telling the world some of the dangerous terrorists of AKB0048 have finally been captured. Once you're inside the courtroom, the cameras are still rolling, they're making a spectacle of you. They're charging you with the terrible crime of singing, how it disturbs the public's hearts and creates chaos, until you can't take being called a terrorist anymore. You stand up, proclaiming that your group's actions are founded on love and you'd never hurt anyone.

The prosecutor tries to get you to turn traitor on your group, say that because of your young age you could just say you were tricked and coerced and get a commuted sentence. You tell them they can keep it, because your journey isn't ending here. After an inspirational speech with several illusions to song lyrics about how you love your teammates and they've taught you so much, and you'll keep going to leave a precedent of success for those that follow, they pass the verdict. 48 years in prison for all of you.

Luckily AKB0048 shows up, singing Pioneer, the song you referenced and bust you out with a dazzling light show where they show once again that they don't hurt a single person, and all the violence comes from DES. "Idols don't fight, we came to sing and show our love."

Character It Comes From: Melody
Keyword: Pioneer

Mm! I have no doubt, I'll be counting on you in the next round.

Not at all.

[ gives her a jokey little two-finger salute ]

Were partners for this game, so naturally.
