HELIODOR

[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.

[myfreeheart]

This should be a lot of fun!

Re: ENTERING THE ROOM

[sixelementmudra]

I think so.

*new heliodor is new, and also circling around the room, getting a sense of the space*

Re: ENTERING THE ROOM

[myfreeheart]

So let's do our best um... um... ...Uh... I'm sorry. W-what are we calling you?

Re: ENTERING THE ROOM

[sixelementmudra]

I haven't decided yet. I'm thinking of Duelist, but I wanted to see whether the rest of you had a theme before I picked one for sure.

Re: ENTERING THE ROOM

[catchandrelease]

[oh no um SMILES AT HER with a wobbly mouth]

L-let's do our best! I ... um.

Re: ENTERING THE ROOM

[myfreeheart]

[don't hate me don't hate me don't hate me s-smiles!]

Y-yes. Um.

[We are the most awkward trio.]

I'll try real hard not to hold you back! I know you'll be amazing! You have my full confidence!!

[That's good right? Right?]

Re: ENTERING THE ROOM

[catchandrelease]

I...I will be amazing... at failing yes...

I'm.... s...sorry I...

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 crocheted pot holder
a reusable tote bag
an ash tray
a pad of sticky notes
a 1" ball of beeswax
three AAA batteries
a bright pink pinwheel
a universal remote
a zippo brand lighter
a pushpin

Re: ROUND 1

[catchandrelease]

Okay let's...definitely... set the pot holder on fire at some point.

Re: ROUND 1

[sixelementmudra]

We'll have to make a fire in order to cook things, right?

*it's kind of hard to tell whether he's serious, but he's definitely shredding up the sticky notes for kindling*

Re: ROUND 1

[catchandrelease]

Right! But we'll have to mess up... and get the fire on the thing holding the pot, not the kindling. At least until we drop the pot holder.

Re: ROUND 1

[sixelementmudra]

All right. I don't know what spaghetti is, so I'll take my best guess at how to cook it. I think you need a really hot fire.

*meanwhile, kneading off pieces of beeswax and sticking wads of paper together with them*

Re: ROUND 1

[myfreeheart]

All right! And um. ...I want to play with the pinwheel... I-if... if that's okay!

Re: ROUND 1

[catchandrelease]

S-sure! What should we do with it?

Re: ROUND 1

[myfreeheart]

We can use it as the spaghetti spoon! Heehee. It'd probably make a big mess. Do you want to start cooking?

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 sponge
a bottle of wine
two glass marbles
a plastic spork
a box of blue-tip matchsticks
a cork coaster
glow in the dark stickers -- zoo animals
a pair of nail clippers
a hat -- IT'S A TRILBY, A TRILBY DAMMIT NOT A FEDORA
a 15" length of cotton string

Re: ROUND 2

[catchandrelease]

Hang on I'll make sure the ground is clean.

[starts rubbing it with the sponge.

Re: ROUND 2

[sixelementmudra]

I'll take care of the tent. It can't be too hard, right?

*this is a lot of rope and canvas, though*

Re: ROUND 2

[myfreeheart]

Remember your stickers so we don't get separated, heehee!

[A giraffe for Miki and Duelist you can have a lion okay. She'll take a zebra herself.]

Re: ROUND 2

[catchandrelease]

[I'M A GIRAFFE OK ////]

Ah... this isn't getting clean at all! There HAS to be a better WAY!

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 crocheted pot holder
4 pinecones
a hat -- IT'S A TRILBY, A TRILBY DAMMIT NOT A FEDORA
a zippo brand lighter
two pieces of bubblegum
a pair a black lacquered chopsticks
$7.63 entirely in pennies

a 1" ball of beeswax
an ash tray

Re: ROUND 3

[catchandrelease]

[oh my god there's another lighter]

Um. Ummmm. I don't have anything to sign with! Someone hand me something! Before the delivery guy leaves!

Re: ROUND 3

[myfreeheart]

[We probably shouldn't have been given things that can make fire.

Handing over the bublegum.]

If you chew it first you can stick it to the paper!

Re: ROUND 3

[sixelementmudra]

*that seems like a really unwise decision, yeah. handing him chopsticks*

And then use these to write your autoglyph in it?
