CARNELIAN

A paper cut-out door painted in your team’s color springs up from the ground, opening the way to your team’s room.

What a mess.

[ just. tentatively touching things to see if it's really all just paper. what the legitimate fuck is this. ]

Your name.

[ it takes him a long moment to answer, and when he finally does, it's with as little enthusiasm as humanly possible. ]

...Flamethrower.

[ DEADPAN ]

It's a pleasure, Flamethrower.

[ battle of the deadpans ]

You got a dumb name too?

Carnelian is space themed, more or less. I'm Mars.

[ what is space... oh, well. ]

I don't know anything about this story. For the record.

I don't either.

Right. Off to a great start, then.

If you're interested in attempting to come as close as possible, I don't mind.

Not sure what other option we have, assuming you want to actually win.

I don't really care.

You think so?

Of course. Not that it matters, unless either of you were around for that time. I was not.

I haven't been here that long, no. I showed up in Camelot.

Then we're all lost.

I wouldn't say lost. We'll just have a different starting point.

[ CAN I OVERCOME MY APATHY ]

I suppose so. Any suggestions?

[that is the question]

That depends. Do you want to win?

[ a quirk of his lips ]

Why not.

Then if we don't know the truth, how about focusing on a plausible lie?

[ a vaguely amused sound ]

All right.

Then let's start with the truths we can handle.

"Once upon a time, a girl called into the storybook many heroes who would help her restore the world, fighting against the Darkness that crept and consumed."

The best lies have the truth as you know it as their backbone.
