TURQUOISE

[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?”

[tilts her head...]

A molepig.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

I guess we're working together again.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rowrowfighttheflower]

I suppose so! Hello, Sir Thorn.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

Good afternoon, Sunflower-san. You've already decided on your animal?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rowrowfighttheflower]

Mm! I have, if that is alright. I remember a very faithful molepig named Boota... but if not that, a grape hippo could be alright.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

[ I have no idea what either of those things are... ]

A... mole... pig sounds fine...

Re: DISCUSSION

[rowrowfighttheflower]

Then it shall be a molepig!

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

How big is this... molepig?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rowrowfighttheflower]

[just makes a gesture that shows it's only about the size of a guinea pig.]

It is not very big at all.

We would like a molepig!

RESULT

[dramatispersonae]

The fluff twitches a bit, then clumps together into the shape of a molepig, and swatches of Turquoise and Sterling fabric wrap itself around the now molepig-shaped fluff. Don't stand too close though, as there’s a needle and thread darting around and sewing up all the seams.

ROUND 2

[dramatispersonae]

You are now looking at a stuffed Turquoise and Sterling patchwork molepig that is 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?”

[ OMG it's adorable. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[rowrowfighttheflower]

[ISN'T IT THOUGH]

It's adorable! I would like it to be a determined and friendly friend.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

[ I WANT TO PICK IT UP ]

It should also be able to take care of itself.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rowrowfighttheflower]

Mm... and to defend itself if it must, of course.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

So it should be pretty smart.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rowrowfighttheflower]

Mm! Though I think if it is ours, it will be very smart.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

What sort of things do molepigs enjoy?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rowrowfighttheflower]

Food. Friendship. The ability to be with people — and the ability to be able to protect those that they love. They are a very admirable species.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

Those sound like good traits to give it. Girl or boy?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rowrowfighttheflower]

Mm... girl, if that is alright.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

That's fine.

We would like our molepig to be very brave and determined! She will enjoy food and friendship, and will always be able to protect those that she loves. We would also like her to be able to take care of herself and to be able to defend herself, but friendship shall always come first. She always wants to be fired up as well, and ready to take on the world!

A (plush) shield made of Turquoise and Sterling fabric is attached to your molepig's back with velcro, ready to be pulled out in an instant! Threads of every color of the rainbow wraps themselves around her little arms and legs, tying into friendship bracelets. A special rainbow-colored thread ties around her neck, with two heart-piece (plastic) pendants dangling from it - one Turquoise and the other Sterling. Together, the pieces form the words "Friends Forever".

...And a tiny box of animal crackers drop in front of her, and on her face you can see a look of determination...as she sees quite determined to find out how to open that box.

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?”

DISCUSSION

[dramatispersonae]

Re: DISCUSSION

[rowrowfighttheflower]

Any sort of an adventure! Perhaps an adventure to save the world? We could even do an adventure that involves planting flowers everywhere on the planet... or anything that we may need help with. A molepig is a very special creature, after all.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

I wouldn't mind a flower-planting adventure.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rowrowfighttheflower]

Then, it can be a flower planting adventure! To ensure that the world will become much more colorful and happy.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

It sounds nice.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rowrowfighttheflower]

It does, doesn't it?

Is there an adventure that you would like?

Re: DISCUSSION

[hunting]

I like flowers. I guess we could go on an adventure to find new kinds.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rowrowfighttheflower]

Alright. That sounds like a good adventure to me.

Our molepig will go on adventures to find new flower types, and then plant them all over the world to make it more colorful and happy!

Re: SUBMIT

[dramatispersonae]

Little flower-shaped cardboard cut-outs pop up in various places in the room, some colored in crayons, others seemingly finger-painted on, and others still seem to have been colored exclusively with messy placement of glue and haphazardly tossed glitter. However, the rest of the room seems quite bare now...

Your molepig grabs your hand and tugs at it, before darting behind a flower close to you on the flower. Then it pulls another, identical flower from behind, and starts to hurry off to find a place to put it.

You spend the rest of the game climbing tall furniture and crawling under dressers and beds, finding more cardboard flowers and placing them in new places. Every time you place a new flower, it begins to feel more and more real. But once you remember you're only in a game, everything starts to fade away...
