AMALTHEA & BARGHEST

You find yourself in a grand throne room, with large, ornate thrones enough for your number to sit. Stringed puppets hang from the high ceiling, dressed and looking like the "citizens" of Ombrie. ...they're all faceless. The singular door that you walked through creaks shut at the beginning of the game.



The kingdom is in shambles. With the death of the most beloved king and your stepson not yet of crowning age, you alone must fight for the right to the throne. In your way stands your adoptive family members, who intend to take the crown for their own greed, though your stepson seems to be supporting you, as does his fiance. With the three of you working together, there's nothing that can stop you. But you must work quickly—these next few weeks are crucial to securing your kingdom.

For the social event, definitely some sort of festival or party.

Dress aside, we have an offer to consider. How convenient that he is on hand to help us the moment our husband has died, yes?

You look cute!

My thanks. You are not entirely unfortunate looking in your own choice of clothing.

. . what kinda game is this?
unguilded: (amuse myself)

Why thank you!

[ Twirls. ]

As for the social event, a fair, or a party should be a good idea. Not one too over the top, but something relaxing and nice.

I mean we already established most of the rest of the family want the throne for 'emselves, so...

Ya think we can find some other way to know what's goin' on, though?
goodbyenurse: (I wonder...)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] goodbyenurse 2014-10-27 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
The kind where we make decisions and watch the outcome. We are aiming to have a better average outcome than the other teams.

One does not need to know the specifics in order to paint the proper brushstrokes.

If it is a Ferrari or a compact, a car has four wheels just the same.

With music, and dancing...

Yes. I shall leave the proposal specifics to you.

Re: DISCUSSION

I know that, but we don't actually know shit about exactly how the country's messed up right now. How much money do we still have? Anything goin' on that could come bite us in the ass later?

I'm still sayin' we should reject the uncle's offer, but I wanna see if there's some other way we can get some info.
culpa: (you only see what i let you see。)

Sounds boring.

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] goodbyenurse 2014-10-27 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh--yes. I quite agree. However, that was not put forward within our options at the moment. We will likely be provided relevant information as it is available.
goodbyenurse: (Hmph)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] goodbyenurse 2014-10-27 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Still, a game is a game.

We shall do our best.

Re: DISCUSSION

Will do!

As for the uncle, we should be careful with him. I'm sure there's a catch to offering all of that help. And his opinions on 'matters of the nation' could easily be bait to get us pretty heavily disliked in the end while he uses that to his advantage.

The finances could be useful though. Maybe we can accept his offer, and use our fair to better get to know the people and their opinions, as well as 'matters of the nation' from the actual source of the nation. That way, if he tries to pull a fast one on us, we'll have the right opinions and information in mind to make what's really the right choice.

Hope so.

Oh, and uh. We played somethin' like this, the last time the Echo had a game? 'Bout raisin' a girl to become queen, though.
