[All the teams are ushered to their own tables, secluded somewhere in the depths of the garden. There's a pot of tea (because of course there is), a bowl of fresh-picked fruit, and a messy stack of blank papers and pencils. In the very center of the table is another piece of paper, this one with a very simple set of instructions written across the top.]
• As a team, create a list of story elements. This list must include:
-A setting
-A hero
-A villain
-An object
-A one-sentence quote
• General elements are usually better than overly-specific ones. No gaming the system! (Yeah, I'm looking at you, smartass.)
• That's it.
• So get goin' already!!
[OOC: You have 1 hour (7 PST/10 EST) to submit your list.]

[The paper with your list suddenly rolls up and disappears in a tiny puff of smoke. After a moment, another paper appears and drops on the table in its place, unrolling itself helpfully to reveal a new set of instructions.]
• Write a short story using the following elements:
-The place: Forest
-The hero: The Spirit Caroline - A ghostly woman, who inhabits a suit of armor.
-The villain: A figure sent from the Earth World, seeking to obtain the Victory Gauntlets (the tournament prize) to use in a war against the Sea People.
-An important item: A magical flying machine.
-The line: "I'll never forgive you!!!"
• Stories will be judged by the other teams on the basis of both creativity and quality.
• So if you can't be good, ya' can at least try to be weird!!
[OOC: You have until 10 PST/1 EST to submit your stories! Have fun!]

Oh, so we're setting up materials for a story, are we...
Still, a one sentence quote in there, too?
Still, a one sentence quote in there, too?
I suppose it's supposed to be a quote that one has to use in the story somewhere, if the next round is putting together a story.
Still, generally the best way to handle these things is to distribute elements between us. Are there any in particular you want to do yourself?
We can do that. But let's not let this turn into a story for Rotten... I don't think that will go over well here.
Why don't I come up with the hero and the villain, and I guess the setting. Then you can come up with the object and the quote? I think that will be the hardest part, so I don't want to screw it up.

They seem like it, yeah. Are there any elements you want to do, then?
I can handle those if necessary. We have Fade here now, too, so we should be able to distribute them a bit more evenly between us, too.
I think the villain should be someone you don't expect. Like a priest or a king.
A priest or king... So, we're looking at a political figure. Or at the very least, someone that embodies a great deal of trust.
That's true. Then, I suppose I'll grab the quote. I'll figure out what to do with it once I see what else we're choosing.
Yes. Then the hero can be someone also unlikely. Like a... chef?
[Right, you were close with a priest, so let's try to avoid that option.]
That's fine. A king should be fine, considering that our hero is going to be a chef.

Right. Then, can you provide us with a setting to work with, too?
[I'm kind of curious to see what you'll do with it.]
[I'm kind of curious to see what you'll do with it.]
A cursed knife works well, yes. As for the quote... I'm thinking of going with "How dare you steal my rice bowl?!"
'steal one's rice bowl' is a Korean phrase, meaning 'to take one's livelihood', but it seems like it would work well for a chef.
