FORGE

[livestage]

[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.

I do wanna learn more 'bout our guy.

What do they say sometimes. . .? Knowing is half the battle?

Re: DISCUSSION

[throughbamboo]

Mmm, that's how the sayin' goes.

Re: DISCUSSION

Should we jump in two feet first?

Re: DISCUSSION

Our guy?

Re: DISCUSSION

[throughbamboo]

Whenever Showmaster does these performance stories, she talks 'bout different folks who were part of the Family once. One of ours is Elysium, he's popped up a few times.

[well if they get to CHOOSE their trauma then that's fine tbh]

I do love to just do whatever I want, it's true.

Re: DISCUSSION

[throughbamboo]

It's a good way of doin' things.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sweetdreamsandivorysmoke]

I'm so glad we can agree. Now, I suppose the question is how we'll spread things out?

Re: DISCUSSION

[friend_request]

Ah, not holding back, then?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sweetdreamsandivorysmoke]

Maybe I'll feel more like holding back once I see what's in store, but for now, I am emboldened by blissful ignorance.

Re: DISCUSSION

[alanhearted]

Is there any other way of doing things?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sweetdreamsandivorysmoke]

Oh, absolutely. But that won't be me, at least not today.

Re: DISCUSSION

[ first important thing: test out the spinniness of chairs!! spin, spin, spin. ]

I was never very good at history...

Re: DISCUSSION

[friend_request]

This seems more like an opportunity to change that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[alanhearted]

That's so boring!

Re: DISCUSSION

[takeyoutochurch]

So...do we want to play it safe since we're so close to shore, or be as reckless as we feel like?

Re: DISCUSSION

[friend_request]

Ah, is this the way it's normally done here?

Re: DISCUSSION

[takeyoutochurch]

Close enough to it, anyway. We just go with the flow and see how everyone wants to proceed. Keep it simple and straightforward. Does that sound fine?

Re: DISCUSSION

[throughbamboo]

What're you feelin'?

Re: DISCUSSION

[takeyoutochurch]

Hard to say. I got a lot of mixed feelin's. We got a lot of new kids, which makes me want to play it safe. No need to give 'em a scare so close to port. But I'm also keen for some information, so...goin' a little harder might be worth it if everyone's agreeable. We can test it in the first round, yeah?

Re: DISCUSSION

[alanhearted]

What's life without a little danger?

[ she knows nothing ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[takeyoutochurch]

[he knows he can't explain it so he just has to roll with it. pats her head]

We have to keep it to reasonable levels of danger though, ya hear? No need to go overboard.
