♕ Game 46: Ruby

[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.]

I don't know what most of these are...

Re: DISCUSS

[straydog]

Which ones?

Re: DISCUSS

[heliokleptic]

Everything except 'tardy'.

Re: DISCUSS

[straydog]

A parrot is a bird that can repeat phrases. Acedia said constupration means fun. And a hammock is net that hangs, so you can sleep in it . . . I'm not sure about a banana one, though.

Re: DISCUSS

[fraternaldevotion]

Shouldn't you focus on the main topic first?

Re: DISCUSS

[heliokleptic]

I don't really have any feelings on allegiances between teams. I guess it's okay?

Re: DISCUSS

[righthandsmoke]

They're stupid is what they are.

Re: DISCUSS

[heliokleptic]

Yeah it is, but come on, we have to do something.

THE PODIUM

[Scowl is trying to pull the tutu down for modesty when he steps up to the podium, trying very hard not to look annoyed. It . . . kind of is working . . .]

It should be obvious to anyone that team allegiances are something great. You can double or triple your power by having another group of people to rely on when things get rough. Nothing could stand in your way! [he points furiously at the air!!! —and then rushes to hold the tutu down again] N-Not even the fabled shockoblobs of Aather.

[righthandsmoke]

Trusting people here can be hard when you have to face them down in the games, but with an allied team you always know it's safe to let your guard down with them. You can relax enough to even share a banana hammock. And, in return, your allied team can share a meal with you. A freshly killed parrot roasted over an open fire is a great way to end a hard day spent at the games.

Re: THE PODIUM

[righthandsmoke]

And let's not forget the games themselves! We all know how dangerous they can be, but a good ally will never be tardy to a game. They'll definitely be there to give you whatever support they're able to. It's a huge advantage for both sides of an allegiance.

[A more excited look! It seems like he really believes in this part of things, gesturing to emphasize the points where he mentions support and advantage. Though he always keeps one hand holding the stupid tutu down :U]

Re: THE PODIUM

[righthandsmoke]

[R-Reluctantly grumbling out these last lines . . .] Finally, the very best allegiances have plenty of consturpation. There's nothing like meeting at the end of a day to unwind with the friends you've made off of you own team.

[You may all hear, for a moment, a soft thrum of applause. Then, a door behind the podium opens ... ]
