KUNZITE

[dramatispersonae]

You sit on the other side of the stage now, in an auditorium full of cracked and dusty stone chairs. It's cold and uncomfortable, but the stage before you still commands your attention, with the curtains now drawn back and shadows flickering upon it.

ROUND ONE

[dramatispersonae]

You are one half of a story to be played out today: either a hero or a monster. You must invent a backstory, motivation, set of powers, and anything else necessary for your monster or hero to defeat its opponent. Both consistency and creativity will be factored into scoring; for best results, tie their powers into their archetype as well as the backstory and motivation you give them.

ASSIGNMENT

[dramatispersonae]

"The Princess is blessed in many ways, but also cursed by a Wicked Fairy, who upon the Princess's coming of age is about to spring her attack."

You will be designing The Princess. Citrine will be designing The Wicked Fairy.

ROUND TWO

[dramatispersonae]

The players in this show have been created! Now it's time to plan your attack. You can see what your opponents designed; give an explanation of how your hero or monster attacks it.

OPPONENT

[dramatispersonae]

The Wicked Fairy saw that the Princess was in danger from the corruption of the King and Queen, and so she’s going to hide the Princess by turning her into a ghost so she can be safe, and then go out to fight the King and Queen by punching them.

And also, the Wicked Fairy is very, very hot and apparently that is important.

[supersensitive]

A cursed princess, huh...

Re: DISCUSSION

[seasidelove]

Ehh... this is interesting.

Re: DISCUSSION

[seasidelove]

That's what it seems like. . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[supersensitive]

What do you think, then? I guess whatever traits we give her, they should be something that would be good to deal with a curse or an attack...

Re: DISCUSSION

[seasidelove]

What if she were good with magic? She was trained in it while she was growing up.

Re: DISCUSSION

[supersensitive]

Ah, that sounds good. Defensive magic? Like being able to create shields, I guess...

Re: DISCUSSION

[hushabyte]

Oh, perhaps music shields??

[ MAYBE A LITTLE EXCITED AT THE PROSPECT ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[supersensitive]

--Oh, okay. So, she has a beautiful voice that she can used to create magic... Barriers and healing injuries.

Re: DISCUSSION

[seasidelove]

Mm!

And... and because the music she needs to use is so positive, it's hard for negative things to get to her.

Re: DISCUSSION

[supersensitive]

So she's resistant to negative energy. Ah... Maybe she learned magic because she wanted to understand the Wicked Fairy more? Since she was cursed.

Re: DISCUSSION

[seasidelove]

Yeah... she didn't want to sit back and take it, so she made a point to learn more about that kind of thing.

Re: DISCUSSION

[faketears]

It's very exciting!

Re: DISCUSSION

[supersensitive]

Should we decide what the curse is...? For the backstory part, I guess.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hushabyte]

Yes! After all, what if it's a very big misunderstanding, and the Fairy's heart can become happy? There could be no resorting to violence at all.

Re: DISCUSSION

[seasidelove]

Um...

We could use the usual fairy tale kind of curse, but...

Re: DISCUSSION

[seasidelove]

Mm.

She wants to make the fairy feel happiness, and she wants to use her song to do it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[supersensitive]

But that would be a little too expected, huh. It's a little hard to think outside of that box, though...
