Dawon + Gulgallana

[soulping]

- This is a very silly game where you’ll be assigned certain roles and get certain powers, and your goal is to rescue the kingdom! Only those who signed up earlier will be able to play.

- This is an 100% non-trauma game! No NPCs can be really injured, not even if you try, because they’re all ghosts playing along. NPCs also can’t harm you, so you’ll be absolutely fine even if the narration talks about your tragic death by dragon. Violent in-fighting will lead to automatic removal, so you can’t fight other teams either!

- This is a mixed game! To try and keep something vaguely resembling a number balance, you’re grouped up as follows:

Dawon + Gulgallana + Diego
Amalthea + Ratatoskr + Armin
Alectryon + Henwen
Barghest + Ometotchtli
Tiamat + Panther
Takshaka + Meow
Vanara + Sparkler

- It’s a mix of exploradora and story...dora. You’ll be presented with situations, and you’ll have to interact with the environment creatively to come up with solutions and make a heroic story. You’ll be rewarded for creativity, ICly playing along with your roles and enthusiasm.

- You won’t be able to use any of your normal, shard-based skills or powers! Any attempts will just fizzle out. You will be able to use your special powers from the sign-ups post.

Fey corgi are literally, physically transformed into corgi. However, all fey corgi can still speak.

- You can only use one special ability per round, and each character can only use theirs once in the entire game. You can’t have everyone spam their abilities in one turn, and characters only get one use of their special ability. Use them wisely (or hilariously).

When using your power, please indicate this in the comment. I need to know whether your grand speech is part of using your powers, or whether you’re just really melodramatic!
All these rules (esp. the violence ones) are understood ICly.

ROUND 1

[soulping]

[ Welcome to the land of Grindia, brave heroes. You stand in the opulent palace of King Junior IX, who has summoned you for a grave duty. In between quaffing his wine from his golden goblet, the king reveals that the dragon Rodgrot rampages across his lands, and only you can stop it from destroying the kingdom itself.

To help you on your quest, the king has given you a moth-eaten map indicating you should probably travel north, and three copper bits. ]

WHY THE FUCK AM I IN A DRESS AGAIN?

Now then, being serious here, this might actually be a problem. If I recall from last time, the "mascot" class doesn't get any powers beyond being a mascot, and we're probably going to be confronted with a lot of challenges that require some use of powers.

Round 2

[soulping]

[ You’ve reached the first stop on the road out the kingdom, the bawdy road of taverns and ladies offering good times - And by good times, they mean live storybook reading and a room full of kittens. There are children in this game, after all. But the taverns are very, very real, and very, very full of ale.

Which has led to a street brawl blocking your path. At least a dozen Manly Men flail at each other with stools and scripted wrestling moves. ]

Let's have the pirate intervene. He can confuse them with his speech.

[ a pirate and two corgis walk into a Manly Brawl ]

Part the sweaty bodies so the princess my pass. Alcohol (and coffee) is meant for bravery at the seas, men! You can join our quest and prove how worthy ye be for the seven seas.

And as a pirate, I know what manly men truly desire: To pet a corgi. Feel free to pet the fluffy ones perched high. They're good for blood pressure and stress.

ROUND 3

[soulping]

[ No man, no matter how muscular and manly, can resist the power of a corgi. They cluster around the corgis to cuddle them -- And shock and horror, now they are attempting to whisk off the corgis!

You have also purchased (1) tiny white kitten, losing the 3 copper bits in the process. ]
