FORGE

[livestage]

There is a moment after the dating show that everyone has a brief intermission inside of a lounge where they can rest, have snacks, and meet any family member who wasn't there the first round.

And then you can hear the sound of something lurching deep below in the lower levels of the boat, clanking and the sounds of flesh gurgling mixed within the same noise.

Something doesn't seem quite right about that sound.

It's the only thing that seems different than normal. Even this performance . . . it isn't too different from what one would expect, right? The only difference seems to be that it doesn't take place on the stage, but otherwise, what makes this story different from the others that have been told so far?

Something doesn't seem quite right though, does it?

The door to the lounge opens and you're able to move to the next stage.

FORGE

[livestage]

Elivia
Likes: Forge, Glassblowing, Coffee
Dislikes: Eonia, Spiders, Carrots

Elivia is ... normal. Even for a forge, she's pretty normal. She's a happy, cheerful person who has a normal range of emotions, and likes to work at her glassblowing hobby (she normally works on a farm for her job).

There's nothing too crazy about her, she likes to go out but she's happy at home. She enjoys books, art, music, parties, hanging with friends, just normal things that any girl would enjoy. Her main notable accomplishment is the beautiful glass castle that she once built for a competition (and she won!).

But she really hates the existence of Eonia though.

Round 5

[livestage]

"B-because! I just think about all those people who left ... and I worry they won't get this kind of thing where they're going! What if they end up in awful families? Oh, bother, feelings are the worst!" She huffs and wipes her face. "It's fine! We're gonna win!"

And so they arrive at the arena and it. Is. Loud.

There are so many trucks from different families, but Forge is the underdog of this story. Many people seem interested in having them win this time around.

But when the young lass noticed that they were going to let her run the race herself, to star in the show, she looked confused.

"Why?"

A) Explain to her why.
B) Tell her Forge members doesn't need to explain things, she already knows. Thats how family works.
C) Hand her a good luck mug.
D) Silence is all that's needed and she knows it.

Round 6

[livestage]

SCENARIO

[livestage]

I mean. She won. There was no doubt about that. Still, she looked proud of herself and it seemed like she's planning to do this again something soon. However, she wants to celebrate with her family!

How should we all celebrate though?

[ticketmaster]

Elivia loved Forge.

Forge could be considered the "physically strongest" family, and despite the fact she is the opposite of that, she never once felt weak, not like the other family she used to be part of.

Why would people want to leave? In a way, she can't help but feel everyone who left as a traitor. Especially when a decent amount of people talking about leaving for that new family... why? Why would you do that? They could have worked on making Forge better!

She would talk to her family and just ask him what he did to deal with his feelings, and there was one who would just say, "Just flatten them." And he'd get back into his steamroller and go.

Just flatten them.

Just flatten them...

Just flatten them........

She sips on her coffee with the family and smiles that familiar awkward smile.
