dramatispersonae

Coral

You find yourself in a dark space. The pale not-a-Persona is sitting cross-legged on a . . . ledge? a little above head-height, lit with what appears to be their own light, because you sure can't make out anything that it's actually sitting on.

Pinned on the ground in front of you is a stuffed manikin, white and squishy and doll-jointed, with a blank face and obvious stitching.. There are metal pins stuck through it, jamming it against the ground, in five places—three in the head, one in the chest, and one in the hand. A little loop of string is tied to each, with room for a label.

"The heart, the mind, the mouth, the eyes, and the limbs. I'll give you the labels, and you tell me what goes where, and how to put a person together the right way."

You have 1 blank card and 6 other cards:

a bird in a cage with an open door
a writing desk with a blank piece of paper
a note stuck in a doorframe
the urge to tap your toes
thinking somebody said something but not being sure if they did
a childhood friend whose name you can't remember

Huh. Cute.

Is this like another story game?

...huh.

Okay, I have a few ideas, speak up now if you have anything else...

The song stuck in your head that you can't identify, an empty stage with a spotlight, a pen that runs out of ink halfway through a word...

*nods*

Any ideas?

A statue whose face has been worn smooth by wind and rain, a story in a language no one knows anymore, the sound of a tree falling in the forest when no one's around to hear it...
