HELIODOR

[dramatispersonae]

You're on a sandbar in a shallow bay with a Heliodor canopy shielding you from the hot sun. Some distance away in the bay, you can make out another sandbar with a Citrine canopy on it, but it's too far away to see any more details.

Comments

ROUND ONE

[dramatispersonae]

Lorelei stands on the edge of the sandbar, holding something in her hands. She says nothing, but she holds it up to you with a plaintive expression of earnest curiosity: what is this? Then she sets it down on the sand, gives you one last longing glance, and walks into the water. There's a splash, and she's gone.

ROUND TWO

[dramatispersonae]

From somewhere out in the bay, Lorelei's voice suddenly rings out. "How boring! Your answers aren't interesting at all; surely there's more magic to human lands than that? Please tell me more interesting stories of these things!"

ITEM

[dramatispersonae]

Your item is a pair of pants.

SUBMIT

[dramatispersonae]

Give a description of your item's intended purpose and proper use that is as clear, accurate, and complete as possible within forty-five minutes.

ITEM

[dramatispersonae]

Your item is a needle and a spool of thread. Its purpose and use has been described by Citrine as follows: "These two items, when combined with fabric or some other type of material, can be used to create new items, such as clothing, stuffed toys, pieces of bedding - blankets, pillows, other things like that - or pieces of needlework. They can also be used to repair something that's already been made, or alter a piece in some way - adding more detail, changing the length, or adding a bit of color."

SUBMIT

[dramatispersonae]

Make up a new description of your item's intended purpose and proper use that is as ridiculous and inventive as possible within an hour and fifteen minutes. It can be a genuine alternative use or an extravagant lie, but either way, points will be awarded for creativity, convincingness, and effectiveness at refuting the original description.

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

Ah . . . I guess so.

[looks at her shyly ahhh I don't ever talk to other knights]

Re: DISCUSSION

[catchandrelease]

I'm Miki.

Re: DISCUSSION

[catchandrelease]

It's... they're... pants...

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

. . . at Heliodor, yeah. I'm—friends with Billy. And some of the others.

Shinji.

Re: DISCUSSION

[oogoediamond]

Uh, y-yeah, but I mean... that's what the game wants us to do, right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[catchandrelease]

Yeah. [I NOTICED...]

Nice to meet you.

Re: DISCUSSION

[catchandrelease]

Right, we need to come up with something good... and accurate...

Re: DISCUSSION

[oogoediamond]

So, um....

[Haha what an awkward conversation.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

Nice to meet you.

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

Ah, I'm Shinji. I've seen you around Sterling, but . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[catchandrelease]

[looks at his feet]

Ah... so...

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

Right. So we're . . . describing pants. I'm sure there are weirder things we've been asked to do.

An item of clothing worn on the lower half of the body, from the waist to the ankles, around each leg separately?

Re: DISCUSSION

[oogoediamond]

I'm Furea! Um... it's alright, I, um, still haven't really talked to a lot of the other knights unless we're in a game together...
