IOLITE vs. KUNZITE

[dramatispersonae]

An immense tree towers above you; it looks as if it might be a fruit tree of some kind, but there's no fruit on it at the moment. Instead, a clear path winds through its huge sturdy branches, slowly leading up to the top of the tree. Along that path are strewn helpful ladders making shortcuts up the branches--as well as enormous black snakes, their tails leading down.

Two silver dice rest on a small pedestal at the bottom of the tree. You get the feeling that you'll need these to move forwards and up the tree.

LAYOUT AND INSTRUCTIONS

[dramatispersonae]

1. Every turn, someone on each team rolls a six-sided die and posts the results in order for the team to proceed a number of steps along the path up the tree.
2. If you land at the bottom of a ladder, you'll take a shortcut up the tree.
3. If you land at the head of a snake, you'll be sent a ways back down the tree.
4. The winner is the first one to reach the final square, or the one who's made the most progress at the end of the game.
5. Try to have both teams roll to advance once every fifteen minutes. Other than that, thread reactions with each other and the other team as you wish.

PLAY!

Comment beneath this header with all die rolls.

Iolite rolls first.

[selfequipped]

Hmm ... Hope no one's afraid of snakes.

[whereismypie]

Not gonna lie : I'm no big fan.

[splittheparty]

Well, it shouldn't be too bad, at least... Though sliding down snakes doesn't seem pleasant for the snake...

[Iolite rolls a... 1.]

[selfequipped]

I'll protect you. Get behind me.

Re: PLAY!

[dramatispersonae]

You advance one step along the branches.

You are now on the first step of the path.

[whereismypie]

Thanks, mom.

[selfequipped]

We can check and make sure it's safe.

[selfequipped]

No.

[Kunzite rolls a 3!]

[whereismypie]

. . . Pretty sure they don't give a rat's ass.

[whereismypie]

O, worthy protector of mine.

Sound better?

[seasidelove]

Ehh... this is kind of weird, isn't it?

[shipwithwings]

One of my dearest friends is a snake.

[splittheparty]

A bit, yeah... But at least it doesn't seem to actually be dangerous or asking us to talk about how everyone's evil.

Re: PLAY!

You advance three steps along the branches. You pass by the tail of a snake. You stop at the bottom of a ladder, but before long you are drawn to climb the ladder...

As you ascend the first ladder, you feel innocent. You think of all the times here in Aather and elsewhere that you've turned away from even the smallest of bad deeds and steered clear of sin.

You are now on the sixteenth step of the path. You are at the top of a ladder.

[selfequipped]

Much better.

[dramatispersonae]

[they just eye you suspiciously]

[selfequipped]

You might want to keep that one from Dean.

[seasidelove]

I noticed that too. It doesn't seem like it'll be anything but an innocent game.

[hushabyte]

Meringue-san, isn't it fun? We're in a fun game!

[Why can't she just float and go up the tree that way why can't her ghostly traits work in games]

It's definitely very very strange. What kind of game is this?
