CARNELIAN

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself in a children’s room. Fortunately, there’s still plenty of room for everyone as either you’re all much, much smaller, or you’re standing in a bedroom for particularly gigantic children...

ROUND 1

[dramatispersonae]

Laid out in front of you is a pile of fluff! If you poke it, prod it, nudge it, or smash it, you’ll find that it keeps it shape.

You can hear the muffled voice of the Velveteen Rabbit, speaking much more clearly now:

“If you could have any animal in the world (or any world, I s-suppose) as a friend, what would it be?”

A parrot.

RESULT

[dramatispersonae]

The fluff clumps together into the shape of a parrot, and swatches of Carnelian fabric wrap itself around the fluff. Be careful though, there’s a needle darting around and sewing up all the seams.

ROUND 2

[dramatispersonae]

You are now looking at a stuffed Carnelian parrot that is now just your size! (...Was there even that much fluff in the first place…?)

The Velveteen Rabbit speaks again;

“Your friend is almost ready now! But...What sort of friend is your friend? What is it about them that you like? What kind of things do they do?”

... We gotta come up with all that?

Honestly, who wants a friend that doesn't have a will of their own.

Let's make it like music.

Okay, here's what we got. Our parrot is a compassionate and loyal guy, who's usually pretty reliable and enjoys singing country music! They also happen to be the ruler of the universe with phenomenal cosmic power.

RESULT

[dramatispersonae]

Shimmering Carnelian fabric with wraps itself around your parrot, twisting and tying itself into a wizard's robe, with shining silver stars sewn all over it. Small wire glasses drop onto their beck, sitting just in front of their eyes. In a bright flash of light, a felt gold crown is dropped onto its head.

A guitar made of a shoebox, cardboard roll and floss strips fly forward and your parrot reaches out to grab it with their wings. It's hard to tell with a plush, unmoving expression, but they seems quite content as it strums a surprisingly on-tune song. (Even if all their clucks are muffled.)

ROUND 3

[dramatispersonae]

Now that your new friend is all dressed and personality-ified, there’s one thing left to do!

“That should be good. Where are you going to take your friend, and what kind of adventures will you have?”

Aww, look at how adorable it is already! Just one last thing to do now.

He seems worldy.

I'm almost impressed.

Alright, so... We're going to go after evildoers and put a stop to them! Along with those guys who keep trying to take over the parrot's throne as the universe's ruler. But not only is the parrot's singing used for entertaining, it's also the basis for his magic he uses to defeat them all! None of them ever get very far 'cause of this.
