♕ Game 46: Carnelian

[dramatispersonae]

[You find yourselves in a castle corridor, well-lit and bright from the many windows that are phased along the left wall. If you look out of them, you can see out into a bright summer day in a place you would not recognise.

At the end of the corridor is a stone door. Etched into it is the face of a gargoyle, who regards you sternly.]

WHAT!?!

[annieareyouok]

Hello again.

[fighting_alena]

...oh, greetings.

...Your timing's a bit bad.

[annieareyouok]

It is?

[fighting_alena]

Game is underway. And it's a game of dress-up.

[annieareyouok]

Well, while I doubt that's my area of expertise, that's hardly a reason for it to be unpleasant.

[fighting_alena]

It's going to be unpleasant for me! I have to wear all of it.

[annieareyouok]

Hmm, no, I suppose that part wouldn't exactly be up my alley either, but there are many men and women who would excel at it. Who knows, you may be one such individual.

[fighting_alena]

... [sighs]

No, actually, I really am a Princess... that's why this is weird.

[springtime]

Let's start at the beginning!

[ rummaging through BEAUTIFUL LACEY UNDERWEAR with lots of frilly bows ]

[ is poking at a corset ] That looks painful.

[springtime]

She's cute enough that she doesn't need one.

[badmedicine]

It's about structure, isn't it?

[springtime]

If we pick a look that needs it...

Alright! It's a team challenge and we need to put in a whole team's worth of thought.

[looking through the accessories]

. . . Hey, what's a butterfly doing here?

[springtime]

Being decorative?

[badmedicine]

I like the bird better . . .

[fighting_alena]

...this is really not what I thought we'd be doing when I volunteered to be the leader of our party.

[fighting_alena]

H-Hey! There's no need to change my underwear even. No one's going to SEE that.

[springtime]

The Persona will know.

[fighting_alena]

...

[springtime]

That's why we have to think of everything!

[fighting_alena]

Fine, just choose something... sorta comfortable.

[badmedicine]

Do you regret volunteering?

[fighting_alena]

...don't ask me that.
