♕ Game 46: Turquoise

[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.]

"The Personae are a group of cowardly, self-serving deities who only pretend to have our best interests at heart. While there are the occasional treats, and we can forge ourselves, the rations they give are the equivalent of a mangy dog's dinner. In order to return our memories that they oh so conveniently lost, the Personae spam stupid games, sometimes endangering our lives. This is another selfish act, as they just want to build up their world.

Also, 'brimborion' is a stupid word to give to a bunch of amnesiacs."

. . .I left out knickers and haunch.

. . . I don't think we can cheat using brimborion that way.

If there are specific rules, she should have said so.

She did say we have to fit them in. What if we tried something more like . . .

"The personae may claim to have the best interests of their "heroes" at heart, but in truth some of them are nothing more than self-serving jailers. They tell us that we only need to play in games that they spam for our memories—to save their world! And then they have the nerve to slaughter the very people they've named their saviors? Just how twisted up are their knickers to have them treating us so cruelly? It even shows in our rations! There are treats and good meat packed with it, but never enough to last. Instead we have to make do with that . . . that stuff that's barely even fit for a dog's dinner."

There's still brimborion and haunch to fit in, but there's room to add more to that.

. . .that's really good. . .

Hm. Haunches are the weird animals some people hunt. Maybe we can fit it in with the food bit.

That's great, Breeze! Maybe add about catching haunches to supplement our rations?

Maybe, "We turn to the local resources, the haunches and other such things, to supplement our supplies, but it's something we are compelled do on our own, for our survival."

That's pretty good.

What do you think of wrapping the speech up with a call for rebellion? Maybe include some things about getting help from the kinder personae . . .

It'd be good to give a shout-out to the nicer ones so that we don't unnecessarily bias this game runner against us.

[shrugs]

Are you going to fit the last word into that?

I think I can . . . If we assume a brimborion is a weapon it could definitely work.

I bet if you talk about it with enough intensity, even if it isn't, people won't pay attention 'cause they'll be too busy going "fuck yeah!"

That's the idea. It shouldn't be hard to act out if I think about Three and that Lion while I'm doing it.

Hmph. Sounds like a decent plan, just don't get too cheesy.

You're so cool...

also, writing:

"Citizens, I've come before you today to speak of the personae. They may claim to have the best interestes of their "heroes" at heart, but in truth some of them are nothing more than self-serving jailers! They tell us that we only need to play in games that they spam to regain our memories—to save their world! And then they have the nerve to slaughter the very people they've named their saviors? Just how twisted up are their knickers to have them treating us so cruelly? It even shows in our rations! There are treats and good meat packed with it, but never enough to last.

We turn to the local resources, the haunches and other such things, to supplement our supplies, but it's something we are compelled do on our own for our survival.

I say it is time for rebellion. We may be weaker than they are, but we may also have allies among them! Consider Mother Goose who teaches us, or Malificent who has been kind to us. We should turn to them for support! Take up our brimborions"]

. . . I'm not sure what to put after that, exactly.
