GROUP ONE
The room you are in is, like the Ring, made entirely out of paper. There are no doors or windows, but the walls are covered with various silhouettes and scenes. A few of the scenes are torn or tattered, and others have bright splashes of colored ink obscuring patches of detail.
There are paper chairs and a circular table in the middle of the room, with a book open on top of it. There is a papercraft scene displayed upon the book, and words written on the table's paper top. Once upon a time…
You look and feel . . . very strange . . .

(frozen comment) [oh god what]
Knights: you will find yourselves in simple but sturdy armor: bright, polished silver for Sterling, and sleek black for Onyx. Your fealty to your patron is unquestionable; you would defend them from those who would do them or their realms harm. You are well known for your chivalrous deeds and have proven yourself worthy of your title. If you must, you will administer justice for the greater good.
Did you have names before you were a hero or a knight of whichever team . . .? Did you have a story, a life before this? It’s . . . it’s hard to turn your thoughts towards anything that happened before this moment; everything’s hazy. Something very strong wants you to focus on the now; to feel comfortable in the trappings of your new-minted role . . .
(But . . . who are you, again? Remember . . .)
The Story sounds a bit calmer now, but still strained and irritated. “This game is simple. You’re proper heroes and knights now, aren’t you? So, you’ll go on a journey to defeat a wicked foe, since that’s what heroes and knights do to prove themselves . . .”
((OOC: You can start with following along with the roles or struggle against them increasingly as the game goes on depending how hard you feel your character can/would resist this type of status effect. Answers other than the options provided (or other creative inputs) are allowed and encouraged, but not required if your character wouldn’t do the thing. Scoring will be based on discussion and consistency.))
[round one]
∅We’ll meet it with swiftness and finesse. Decapitate it, ending its life quickly and cleanly.
∅We’ll meet it with brutal force. Cut out its heart, dismember it, and toss the remains into the sea.
∅We won’t meet it face to face at all. We’ll cunningly trap the creature in its home and burn it.

We should talk to it. And depending on its answer, we'll take it down quickly, face-to-face.

We want to speak with the monster first, if possible. We could learn something important that way. And if our first strategy doesn't work, we haven't lost anything. We still have the chance to face it head on if we need to.

This isn't-- there's something wrong about this. Who wrote a story like this anyway?!
. . . it must have been your imagination; when you look again, everything in the paper room is perfectly normal, and the page is turning.]
[round three]
It's accompanied by the strangest of sensations; an odd… fizzing? There's power here, in the very air you’re breathing; it tingles under the surface of your skin. Where did it come from? It's still leaking. . .
