[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: An ocean
-The hero: Unexpectedly, the queen, who foils the dastardly villain with her cunning plans (that just happen to be executed by the lowly guards and soldiers) ♥
-The villain: An arrogant merchant baron
-An important item: A cursed knife
-The line: "You can't ever have one."
• 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!]

Even if the writing process might include it, [ EMPHASIS ON MIGHT we have a cinnamon bun in our presence. ] we still need an outline otherwise.
And I don't think violence will go over well for the voting, there's enough of that here.
[ Looks over to Mint. Hm hm ideas. ]
Maybe the setting can be a huge kingdom located on a beach shore, for starters.

That works!
Maybe the kingdom can be on an island, in that case. And the villain can be a huuuuuuuege sentient sea monster! So big that it not only destroys the boats they send out to other lands, but their aircrafts, too.
And the underdog hero can devise a plan to stop the monster.
