EONIA

[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 pity in her face. You'll notice that her purple eyes shifts when she makes the expression, it goes from a solid purple to a purple mixed in with this symbol in blue also.]

You're one of the ones that appeared after we were gone. I feel bad for you, they'll probably get rid of you next.

THE WHITEBOARD

[livestage]

[On the whiteboard, there's a projection of all the squares you can pick from.

On your phone, there's an app you can open that lets you look at the other teams but you can only see if someone has selected them. You cannot see what the squares cost, you cannot see who selected what, you can only see if a team chose to buy a square or not.


Next to that you see the prompt that you must fill:
Once Upon A Time
1.
2.
3.
4.
5
And the Family had no regrets in what they had done.]

[livestage]

"Alright, so here's the deal. Since the Families just loooove to just do whatever they want, I'll let you guys do just that. Just pick the words you think you like best and put them in some kinda order and I'll make you a story. Keep in mind, there's a price for the decisions you make. But you know that, don't you?"

She pauses and looks up at them.

"If you want to ask a quick question, go ahead, but if it's stupid or requires a long answer, I'm going to ignore you."

...what are the prices?

[livestage]

I forgot them all but one might be like covered in frosting and another might be chainsaws. Don't remember if I took that one out or not.

[ VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO BE HERE. ]













Transactional storytelling sounds kind of lame.

Re: DISCUSSION

[weboftruths]

Good day. You're probably right about that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[getlonely]

I'm not sure if this is better or worse than the other kinds of storytelling they do here. Hi.

Re: DISCUSSION

[heyyomynameis]

I mean. Either way it's, you know, still happening.

Re: DISCUSSION

[getlonely]

This feels a little ominous somehow.

How do we even pay for things?

Re: DISCUSSION

[heyyomynameis]

It's definitely ominous.

DECISION

[livestage]

Re: DECISION

[tax_deductible_donation]

birth level 4, birth level 5, future levels 1-3

FUTURE 1

[livestage]

Eonia was created in hopes that those who lost their past and even their present can at least have a future.

You are filled with hope.

FUTURE 2

[livestage]

The Cirrus and Forge who left their families to join Eonia were worried about some of the things they were seeing within their own group. It's not just those two families either.

You are filled with immense worry and anxiety. It takes a lot not to feel the compulsion to do something about it.

FUTURE 3

[livestage]

Not everyone thinks they'll have a very long future. Some have amnesia after all.

There was one who did have amnesia and recognized all they had was what they had now.

So they decided to take other people's futures for themselves.

They took their lives.

They became them.

You will impersonate someone here, even if you don't know them well, you will do it based off of impressions.

BIRTH 4, tw child abuse, skin picking, hair picking, nail picking

[livestage]

Every Eonian child that is born the family is considered a blessing that must be protected.

And anyone who treats a child with harm must die.

Terribly.

It isn't always for the greater good, it's simply to ensure that the family itself can remain sustainable.

So anytime they find one, the crimes are ... well. Plucking the feathers from a chicken is cruel. What if you pick the skin off of a person? Pick the nails, pull the hair out from the scalp and eyebrows, just little things...

Just little things...

[Nail loss, hair loss, skin loss, choose your poison.]

YOU DONT NEED ROUND 2/3 BUT YOU NEED A PLACE TO REACT

Re: YOU DONT NEED ROUND 2/3 BUT YOU NEED A PLACE TO REACT

[getlonely]

[ ok lot to unpack here but also she is no longer paying attention due to her left hand exploding in a shower of gore that covers the surrounding area in red.

so that's going on. she's making an increasingly high-pitched sound like a tea kettle and somehow ended up on the floor. ]

STORY TURNIN

[livestage]

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.
