RATATOSKR.

[soulping]

It's not long before you're all feeling the tug to go into your rooms: tiny houses carved into the stone of the island adorned in banners of your team colors. But once inside the doors don't close. If you wish to test it you can even enter and exit the house as much as you want.

The room itself isn't the important part. For the most part, it's barren outside of a low-sitting table and a couple of pillows. On top of that able, however, is a handmade poster. There's nothing on it yet.

A QUESTION.

[soulping]

U-um!

[ It's the girl's voice again, somehow even more timid now than it was ten minutes ago. ] I... have a question...! Or... maybe a request...? Ah! What do I do if they say no... I want to help! A lot!

But to do that, something really important needs to come out! It won't hurt you! I can promise. And... it'll be a good thing! I hope? But! You should know! It might makes things hard, too! And you'll have to decide what it is! Because... Because! You'll see!

You don't have to say yes! But if you do, I'll take care of you!

Ah! Um.

So, would you do it? Will you? Even if it might cause a little trouble?





...I'm not very good at this...

DISCUSSION.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[dontcallmedarling]

[...Well, this is new.]

Wait, so... you want to help us? That's... well, I appreciate that!

How might it make things harder, though?

Re: DISCUSSION.

[flightful]

Because... because it's you?

[dontcallmedarling]

It's... me?

[That's... uh...]

I'm... not quite sure I get it.

[flightful]

It's a part of you! A good part! But it might be too truthful...? It might not!

[dontcallmedarling]

Oh. Oh! So you're like, asking us if we would like you to draw it out?

...That's actually really considerate!

[NICE ECHOES OTHER THAN HIS PATRON EXIST???? He's been in like 4 trauma games in 5 weeks.]

[flightful]

Is it...? I just thought! It'd help! I'm sure, to make people a little stronger!

[dontcallmedarling]

...Well, I mean, I do want to be stronger, but it feels so weird to say that up-front.

Still, it's a nice thought, askin' people and stuff. I mean, it's a thought, but it counts for a lot, you know?

[flightful]

It does?!

That's because... I don't mind if everyone says no! That's okay, too... Because it's about them! That's what this one is!

[ because she wants to help make people feel better at all times. and is too timid to do that the life ]

[dontcallmedarling]

[u came to the wrong team to be timid about it, because Knight's a big boisterous idiot who's grinning.]

Yeah, exactly! Some Echoes are huge jerks about that kinda stuff! The fact that one wants to ask and help us feel better? That's awesome. You should feel good about that!

[2shonen2live2shonen2die]

[flightful]

B-but it might not be good if they say too much!

[ but that's the point of asking permission. ]

[dontcallmedarling]

But that's why you asked, right? I mean, it's harder to ask for permission than beg for forgiveness, or something like that.

It takes a lot of guts to ask instead of just doing it!

DECISION.

[soulping]

[When you've decided what to do say so here! This is individual.]

DECISION: KNIGHT

[dontcallmedarling]

Knight will obviously be agreeing to the offer.

Re: DECISION: KNIGHT

[flightful]

[ Then as soon as he's ready he'll be filled with a warm, funny feeling. It only lasts a split second, but now he has a new, temporary companion! ]

TEAM TURN-IN.

[soulping]

[Shortly after the game starts, you may want to check your house again because the poster board has changed. On it are listed three simple questions. The first two can be answered individually, if wished:

What do you think is your strength as a team?:
What do you want to thank your teammates of the past for?:

The last one must be answered as a team, if at all:

What would you like to leave behind for the teammates who come after you?

Of course! None of these have to be answered if you don't want to.]
