soulping | Dawon + Gulgallana

- 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.

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.

[ The unruly redhead corgi just wags. ]

I can talk still, but that's about it.

It was like that last time, too. Congratulations on being a heavily armored mascot. For the duration of the game, you can do anything a heavily armored mascot can do. Hopefully we can find a use for that.

Mascot characters have a lot of mysterious power, you know! Have faith!

Arrr, dogs don't tend to have strong powers. Maybe our little princess can carry one of them around. Might also keep him out of trouble.

Well, they have armor, at least, which I suppose means that they might be able to take more damage than most of us.

Let's hope that be the case here.

Or maybe you could carry one on your shoulder. Aren't you supposed to have a parrot?

Not a bad idea with two of them around.

[ Jumps up on his hind legs. ]

I'm Peony! I don't mind being carried!

It's only a problem if you're not creative.

That's true, yes.

Maybe the dragon's weak to cuteness! Then they'd have a paw up on all of us.

Honestly, the chances are high that when we make it to the dragon, we'll be told the king's completely lying and he hasn't been doing anything at all.

Whoa... an evil king, sprta?! Should we keep that in mind when we decide what to do?

Weak to cuteness?

Uh-huh! Like the dragon will see them and get super distracted because it wants to play with them.

I guess it could work... It's not like we know anything about the dragon.

[ His ears stand straight up in alarm. ]

Don't -- don't feed us to it-!

I think he just meant you can distract it by rolling over and doing cute tricks.

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure dragons can't digest metal. To actually eat you, it would have to peel you out of your armor first.

It's okay, it's okay! If the dragon does eat you, stab it with your pointy armor from the inside or something.

It's entirely possible. Why else would we be wearing armor and completely adorable?

[ Headbutts her armour gently. ]

Exactly! Maybe the dragon's just lonely and wants to play.
