TAKSHAKA & VANARA

[soulping]

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.

ROUND 1

[soulping]

Your husband's funeral was last week. Your kingdom is currently in a state of turmoil. You have 0 popularity and you have 0% political sway.

COURT

[soulping]

It has been one week since your husband's funeral. Your uncle-in-law has offered his assistance to you with financial matters and matters of the nation—of course, because you yourself are not a native of this land but of another, and so do not know the history or politics of Ombrie as well. Not to worry, though. With his help, you will have nothing to worry about.

Do you accept his offer?

SOCIAL EVENT

[soulping]

While your husband's funeral has finally passed, many people of the castle are still grieving. The atmosphere is depressing and the dull decor doesn't help. Your stepson's fiancée suggests doing something to lighten the mood.

Do you try to lighten the mood of the castle, and if so, how do you do it?

Fishie, looks like we're partying today.

[not actually smiling suddenly wearing a super frilly jade dress under his cardigan.

he's honestly much more ?! about all the ~GORGEOUSNESS AND SPARKLES~ though what is happening]

[ She is still unsteady on her legs but at least she fits in.

at least her dress is cute. And she gets to wear stockings again. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

[ frills, frills everywhere ]

Hmm... I don't know if we should trust the uncle's offer.

[bettathanthat]

B- But someone just died! How is that a party?

[lifehacker]

People party at funerals. Celebrate the life of the deceased. Whatever.

[bettathanthat]

Oh. Good fun then!

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

Oh, that looks cute on you!

[lifehacker]

You look cute.

[ Pats her on the head. ]

[allergictostairs]

[gravitates towards you since you're the second least scary person here I'm sorry]

Um, hi?

Re: DISCUSSION

[overfull]

[ In Vanara green, of course. It looks nice. ]

That man is not to be trusted. If we accept his offer, we should maintain careful surveillance both on his actions and whereabouts.

[barrette]

Nice dress!

[ seems 100% sincere while saying that, too ]

okay actual discussion

[lifehacker]

I say we don't let the uncle-in-law get involved, because he's probably gonna take power or some shit like that.

We should lighten the mood with some smooth jazz.

[lifehacker]

Uh, thanks, the Echo just popped me into it. My junk feels free.

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

Agreed. We don't even have a way of knowing if he would give us the right information or if he would try to make us look bad.

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

Hi! I haven't seen you around before, are you new?

Re: DISCUSSION

[allergictostairs]

[hello teammate can he hang out with you. he doesn't know any of these people in purple and white]

Maybe we can politely accept his advice and not actually let him get his hands on anything...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[overfull]

Yes. We are a foreigner, after all.

However, because of that, rebuffing a trusted member of the community so blatantly may cause us to lose what little favor we have with the people. We should use him as best as we may, but we shouldn't hesitate to stifle suspicious behavior, either.

Re: DISCUSSION

[overfull]

[ Hello teammate please hang with her. ]

Yes. I think that may be helpful. He may be trustworthy as an advisor, but this kingdom is ours to rule.

[allergictostairs]

Oh, um, hi. Yeah.

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

Hmm... We could agree to listen to his advice and counsel, but not give him any authority to make decisions without our approval. That way, it wouldn't look like we're flat out not trusting him.
