TIGER'S EYE

[dramatispersonae]

INSTRUCTIONS

Each round you will be given a scenario and a task to accomplish. Assume any items you need to accomplish the task are present in the room. Your goal is to fail to accomplish this task, as elaborately and creatively as possible while still ostensibly trying to accomplish it. Do not ICly discuss and plan what you're going to do in each round. Just jump right in. Ping Raven when you need a new round.

This is a loser game, so the losers win, but there will be prizes for the teams that fail most creatively!

ENTERING THE ROOM

[dramatispersonae]

You understand the premise above, but at this point your room is empty. You can do any meet-and-greet or general discussion here before the scenarios begin.

[crymoore]

[ ... slightly uncomfortable once she realizes what team she's been paired up with. ]

[soldieronwards]

Frost?

[crymoore]

Bucky? [ Oh, she's not alone with them this time.

That's good? Right? ]

[soldieronwards]

We'll have a great game tonight, Frost. You can be sure of it.

[imaginemeandyuu]

...Hi! I think it's just me today? Maybe?

[crymoore]

[ Waving slowly. ]

Y-Yes, so long as you aren't upset with me we should do well. This is a game I intend to win.

[imaginemeandyuu]

Nnnnooo I'm not...

So let's do as badly as possible at our tasks!

ROUND 1

[dramatispersonae]

You are a suburban family attempting to prepare, serve and consume a simple spaghetti dinner.

The following unrelated objects are present as well:
a pair of nail clippers
a wooden spoon
a racoon
a bright pink pinwheel
an ash tray
a pillow
a glue stick
a canvas tote bag
a sofa, fit for three family members or one very greedy one
a hand trowel

Re: ROUND 1

[soldieronwards]

[...glues the pinwheel to the raccoon and sticks the wooden spoon in its spokes]

There! Automatic spaghetti stirrer.

Re: ROUND 1

[imaginemeandyuu]

Ummm what is suburban and spaghetti? I mean, does this mean I'm already winning?

Re: ROUND 1

[soldieronwards]

Spaghetti's a type of pasta.

"Suburban family" means we really, really want to be normal.

We're gonna win this for sure.

[crymoore]

[ Incredible! ]

... wait, is that healthy?

[soldieronwards]

It'll give the raccoon exercise. So, it's perfect!

ROUND 2

[dramatispersonae]

You are on an exciting outdoor adventure with your friends and/or family! The sun will set soon, and you need to pitch a tent and otherwise set up your campsite before it is too dark to see.

The following unrelated objects are present as well:
a 15" length of cotton string
a pad of sticky notes
two glass marbles
an earring
a hat -- IT'S A TRILBY, A TRILBY DAMMIT NOT A FEDORA
a half-eaten bar of dark chocolate
two tapered candles
a bright pink pinwheel
a lint roller
a drinking horn

Re: ROUND 2

[imaginemeandyuu]

We can definitely use this small amount of string to attach to all four tent pegs.

[crymoore]

[ Is too busy trying to attach the post-it notes to the ground... ]

[imaginemeandyuu]

Wait a minute. What tent pegs? We'll have to use anyting slightly sharp like these candles and drinking horn and let's use an earring for the fourth.

Re: ROUND 2

[soldieronwards]

Tent pegs? Why do we need tent pegs?

We've got sticky notes. That should be fine for holding the tent to the ground--see, Frost's got the right idea!

Re: ROUND 2

[imaginemeandyuu]

Oh, you're right! Let's try that before doing something silly like using pointy things.

[crymoore]

[ CAN'T TELL IF HE'S MAKING FUN OF HER OR BEING SERIOUS... ]

ROUND 3

[dramatispersonae]

You are office workers receiving a shipment of documents in the mail! You need to sign for the packages, open them, and put the contents away in your filing cabinets.

The following unrelated objects are present as well:
a paper plate
glow in the dark stickers -- zoo animals
three gallon-size ziploc bags
an earring
a crocheted pot holder
a tiffany desk lamp
a cork coaster
a canvas tote bag
a mason jar
a bottle of wine

[crymoore]

[ Somehow has managed to put glow in the dark stickers on everyone including herself in hard to reach places. ]

[imaginemeandyuu]

Good idea! Now the mail person can definitely find you to get you to sign. Here, this should let you sign for it! [hands her the bottle of wine and earring]

[crymoore]

Oh no, my finger has been pricked. [ Drops the bottle on the ground O O P S. ]

I may need the aid of a medic. Does our postman know triage?
