CITRINE

[dramatispersonae]

Paper walls rise up around your team's table now, and a quill pen appears upon it, along with a well full of vivid Citrine-colored ink. Finely-lettered words shift and scroll in silvery-black ink across their surface, and even if you cannot read or write normally, the ability comes to you for the duration of this game.

[Words shift and change on the walls again.]

Well done; you've put something together. Now give it a meaning. Tell me a short story or make a brief adage based on these words--without using any of the exact words themselves.

A story about cakes on skates with their friends who are always changing.

...But without any of those words.

Or friends on skates with cakes. Changing cakes.

They could be shape-shifters!

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstflower]

Oooh, so a team of wheeled travelers are carrying shape-shifting pastries. That's another word for 'cake' right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[trope_attack]

Cakes are a kind of pastry!

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstflower]

Great!

...Why are they on wheels with changing cakes?

Re: DISCUSSION

[saviorsoul]

They stole the pastries and had to make a quick get-away?

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstflower]

Why did they steal the pastries instead of asking?

Re: DISCUSSION

[saviorsoul]

It was a prank on their teammate.

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstflower]

...Oh! That sounds like it could be funny then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[saviorsoul]

Exactly!

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstflower]

Someone on a team of wheeled travelers decided to play a prank on his teammates by making a shape-shifting pastry. But then the rest of his teammates found out and played a prank on him by stealing it.

And then they all laughed a lot and ate a pie that used to be a different pastry.

The end.

Re: DISCUSSION

[saviorsoul]

Sounds great!

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstflower]

I'll turn it in.

Re: DISCUSSION

[trope_attack]

Why not?

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstflower]

...Good question.
