FORGE

[The Showmaster leads you through the dark stage and you find yourself entering something that looks like a very nice and expensive classroom.

Each desk is spacious with drawers that you will conveniently find any important item that had been on your person or that you feel like you would need here. Each chair is cushy and swivels.

Sitting on top of the teacher's desk is a young girl, older teen / younger adult in age at most, hair that looks like mint cotton candy that probably reaches down to her ankles. She has a knee drawn up to her body, resting her chin on top as she scours the room of who arrived . . .

And then she looks at you all with disdain and slight fear in her face. You'll notice that her purple eyes shifts when she makes the scowl, it goes from a solid purple to a purple mixed in with this symbol in green also.]

I thought you guys might have been the exception, but oh no, no, no. Absolutely NOT.

Me? Hmm.

[considers]

Well, for the performance, we all gotta stick to what we agreed upon. That means stickin' to what we agreed upon and clearly statin' what effects ya got as a result. If ya do that, then yer already doin' somethin' for me.

After that, we gotta make a stew with all these vegetables we're gettin'. If ya get a flower on yer head that ya don't recognize, keep it so we can check it out later.

I'm gonna complain too. This shitty boat with this shitty stupid performance.

That makes things worse, you know!

That kinda complainin' is allowed an' necessary.

. . .

Fuck. I bet those idiots went hard, too.

[he can't remember their name but, Lea can guess he means Sirens]

[ unfortunately in the "what's wrong with me," department she's a dumbass. ]

So don't overstep, hmm?

You think there might be something interesting in the flowers?

[ she wrinkles her nose plucking another!!! ]

Don't do what we didn't agree upon. People'll get upset if ya do. The most important thing for performances is makin' sure we all get out without feelin' unhappy with each other.

Yeah.

[he says it with some level of fondness in his voice. Sirens.]

I'll keep an eye out for 'em after. Since ya might have a hard time rememberin'.

[yeah, idiots was a term of endearment]

'Ppreciate that.

If my bro tries to punch me, just let him.

[ a beat but she smiles all the same: ]

Did you know? Doing what I want is always what's most important to me. "What would be fun and the best for the people around me?" is at the top of that list!

So~

[ plucks a flower and hands it to him!!! as if in answer. ]

Hell no. We all agree to this. He doesn't get to punch ya for it.

Besides, I don't think he would. Might shake ya around a bit, but that's fine.

You must select the five squares you wish to turn in. Even if it feels like the story might not make sense, the storyteller should be able to make it make sense.
