Re: discussion

Huh! Which ones're you into?

Re: discussion

[badnewsboy]

Ah ... decisions decisions.

Re: discussion

[dicktionary]

Yeah. The other option's randomly grabbing things and that's probably not such a great idea.

Re: discussion

[badnewsboy]

Not one for leaving our fate to fate, eh?

Re: discussion

[dicktionary]

You're not either.

Re: discussion

[badnewsboy]

Perhaps we need to get better acquainted.

What if we take nothing?

Re: discussion

[dicktionary]

Do we have our usual skills? Sometimes we don't in games, right...

Re: discussion

[precedented]

Our skills aren't functioning.

Re: discussion

[dicktionary]

Yeah, we noticed. Ow. Hey Dune.

Re: discussion

[precedented]

Hello.

Now, how will we divide the skills?

Re: discussion

[dicktionary]

Any that've caught your eye?

Re: discussion

[precedented]

Super strength would come in handy, as would phasing and accelerated time. But I have no preferences.

Re: discussion

[dicktionary]

Right. What about the items?

Re: discussion

[precedented]

The coin, the can and the lighter.

[ Before you is a simple scene:

There is a fruit tree — you know it’s a fruit tree but there’s no blossoms or fruit to be seen — a path that moves forward and tall sea grass. The sun in the sky looks as though you could reach out and touch it and the air is sweet and moving west to east. Do you take the path? Do you stop to smell the nonexistent roses? ]

Re: start

[badnewsboy]

[guess who's gonna water the tree?]

Hello, you are a fine tree.

Re: start

[dramatispersonae]

[ the soil eagerly drinks the water up wow ]

Re: start

[badnewsboy]

[so water. such damp.]

Re: start

[dramatispersonae]

[ eventually the soil will stop taking water and start pooling up -- the tree itself will grow little buds, then flowers, then the flowers will close and create . . . what might be the beginning of fruit? But that's all. ]

Re: start

[badnewsboy]

[looking satisfied at that.]

Re: start

[dicktionary]

It doesn't need more water, does it?

What if we drown the tree.

Re: start

[precedented]

Don't drown the tree.

Get the fruit though.

Re: start

[badnewsboy]

It doesn't seem as if it's ready.

[reaches up to touch it?]

Re: start

[dicktionary]

Okay!

[climbs the tree. ...does not need the skill to climb a fucking tree]
