GAME 1: FIRST DAY.

[thecrook]

GAME ONE the first day The elevator doors slide open with a gentle ping, and inexplicably, you find yourself inside a bar overlooking an impossible city view. Depending on your constitution, you may feel your knees begin to buckle, and fortunately several plush chairs are ready to accommodate both drunkards and weary travelers alike. Waist-high tables stocked with water and high-caliber champagne are dotted across the bar's lounge -- perhaps you will help yourself to some refreshments? Small alcoves flow off the main interior of the lounge, leading to seventeen tiny, tiny rooms with an uncomfortable (but nice looking) cot for each person still in play. The rooms even have each player's name etched above them in delicate cursive, signaling who belongs where. if you feel like investigating your room, you may decide that its interior leaves much to be desired. But most importantly, as you enter the lounge, a thin blond woman, who would perhaps be quite beautiful if it weren't for the permanent grimace across her face, will hand you a thick sheet of card stock with the game's rules stamped across it in gold foil. "You have until this evening to cast your first suspicions," she says to you, her clipped tone markedly unpleasant. "The wolves will meet in secret, of course, and the veterinarian may leave their protection anonymously. The last special role in play, the lovers, are encouraged to keep their circumstances secret." A champagne bucket sits on the bar top. Slips of paper and a pen are next to it. Will you take this time to cast your aspersions? Poll #18576 Cast your suspicions. This poll is closed.

I... don't know about reams, but it's a part of Asia?

[ does... does he know what asia is? but if he's never heard of japan then maybe not. ]

Earth?

[rootandbranch]

[he does not give the appearance of a dragon who recognizes "Asia," no. "Earth" rings a bell, but only dimly.]

...um.

Midgard?

[euphonos]

Mid... grrrrr?

[rootandbranch]

...

...

...







I don't think we're from the same place.

[euphonos]

There are definitely no dragons where I'm from, so that's not surprising...

[ she still sounds pretty uncertain despite that though. ]

[rootandbranch]

I guess that's out of the way, then! What's your name?

[euphonos]

[ she still has a lot of questions actually. ]

Kumiko Oumae.

[rootandbranch]

[what else about this sitation could possibly need to be explained?? it's all very straightforward, obviously.]

Nice to meet you! Call me Geir.

[euphonos]

So... are there a lot of dragons where you're from...

[ she's not letting this go. ]

[rootandbranch]

[he seems kind of confused that she's asking...]

I've heard of a few? I'm stronger than most of them, though. Why? Is that strange?

[euphonos]

You're the first one I've met. I didn't think they existed.

[ she's still not entirely convinced that this isn't a dream. ]

[rootandbranch]

[...leans forward and sniffs at her face with his huge nose, the air just barely stirring her hair; oddly gentle.]

I'm real! So are you.

[euphonos]

Ah...

[ things she never thought would happen in her life: this. ]

That's one mystery solved, I guess.

[rootandbranch]

Yup!

[leans back again]

So, should we play?

[euphonos]

This game? I'm not really sure if we have a choice otherwise... they've already brought us here.

[rootandbranch]

But if we're here already, we should have fun, right?

[euphonos]

It'd be more fun if we actually volunteered...

[ still. she sees his point. ]

We'll try to have fun then.
