The room you're brought to is... Actually lit! One of the sides of the room is covered with a rather elaborate workbench, while once can find a table set into a corner of the room with a bowl and a leafy, unidentifiable plant on it. There are also precisely enough chairs for everyone, even when people join halfway through. For some reason there's always exactly enough chairs for everyone.

Instructions

[soulping]

Your objective is to make something that represents your problems in Kyriakos, and destroy it however you want! This will be composed of two rounds:

In the first round, you are to create whatever you think best represents your problems, and answer a few questions about it. To assist with this, all teams are given an unlimited amount of Ambrosia, as well as a plant assistant if so desired. Ambrosia are those coins in the bowl: While holding the coin, you can will it to transform into any non-magical object, though these do not last outside of the realm, and will be taken away if there is an attempt to injure another person in the game. The Plant Assistant, if desired, can be used to temporarily learn wood, cloth, and animal-based crafting skills: Just put a single leaf from it into your mouth, and you'll be able to craft as you wish.

In the second round, you will be asked to destroy your creation. You are free to destroy it any way you like, whether simple, or elaborate. As with the previous round, Ambrosia will be available to assist if so desired. Once all teams finish with both rounds, the results will be displayed.

Cool, give the powers that be a little ego petting.

[lifehacker]

Don't make Candy.

Don't.

[endsintheocean]

...I wasn't planning to. She's not part of the problem.

Anyway, I doubt this much of a contribution will make much difference for the worst ones. Everyone's always talking about them as it is.

[lifehacker]

Whatever, fuck them. We can vent it out a little this way.

[ Makes the Yaksinis go face-first into Nyssa's butt. ]

[endsintheocean]

My thoughts exactly.

[gives Akasha an unbearably smug face and glares at it]

Any ideas on how to destroy them?

[lifehacker]

Light that shit on fire.

[endsintheocean]

Sounds good to me. I suppose we'll need to submit them first, though.

Re: Turn-In

[endsintheocean]

We made little wooden figures to represent some of the Echoes who have caused us problems.

[lifehacker]

You did a good job making them. Even when you hate someone, you put effort into it.

[endsintheocean]

I guess I'm just used to needing to put effort into everything.

[TIME TO LIGHT SOME ECHOES ON FIRE YAAAAY]

[lifehacker]

You calling me lazy, dickwad?

[lifehacker]

It's a good day to get shards for doing nothing but minor destruction.

[lifehacker]

We lit them on fire because why the fuck not. Show everyone. Show the Echoes themselves.

[soulping]

The effigies burn for quite a while, if you wish to stay and watch. If not, the entrance is now open once more.

[endsintheocean]

Are you saying you're not?

[endsintheocean]

Yeah, this was pretty nice as games go.

[lifehacker]

I'm a busy bee, here. Running failed minigames, playing in actual games, masturbating five times a day, romancing my way to the heart of so many people.

I'm a busy bee in my original world. Gotta make a good couple million to do my assassin ranking fights, and there's ten of them. And then, three years later, I had to do it again.

I'm not lazy. I just take a lot of Me Time.

[endsintheocean]

True enough. That's not actually what I meant, anyway.

[lifehacker]

Then what'd you mean? Don't be a cagey dickhead, I have to listen to that stuff enough.

[endsintheocean]

Just that most of the time, I have to put in a lot of effort or I can't achieve anything. That's all.

[lifehacker]

Oh, you're being hard on yourself instead.

[endsintheocean]

Not really. There are plenty of much harsher things I could say if I wanted to be hard on myself.
