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.

[robitussin]

...Why?

Re: DISCUSSION.

[flightful]

To help show things you might not!

Re: DISCUSSION.

[robitussin]

You know if we haven't shown things, there's probably a good reason for it, right?

Re: DISCUSSION.

[flightful]

That's why it's a choice...! To trust your feelings or hold them in...

Re: DISCUSSION.

[robitussin]

Right.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[wherethewildthingsare]

...What'll this do?

Re: DISCUSSION.

[flightful]

Bring out an honest part!

Re: DISCUSSION.

[wherethewildthingsare]

...Of myself?

Re: DISCUSSION.

[flightful]

Uh-huh! But it won't hurt and you'll still have it. But now it's in the open, too!

Re: DISCUSSION.

[wherethewildthingsare]

..I guess that's alright..

Re: DISCUSSION.

[flightful]

Only if you're okay with it...!

Re: DISCUSSION.

[fairhands]

What is it?

Re: DISCUSSION.

[flightful]

Something helpful! Hopefully...

Re: DISCUSSION.

[fairhands]

What does it do?

Re: DISCUSSION.

[flightful]

It helps you say something you might be afraid to???

Re: DISCUSSION.

[fairhands]

...I see.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[flightful]

Y-yeah! It won't be bad! All the tasks are nice things... I picked them myself...

Re: DISCUSSION.

[fairhands]

[...Goddamnit he'll just. Give the child a headpat.]

It's fine.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[flightful]

[ do you have a problem, obsidian? do you feel compelled to do what tiny children want? do you need an intervention? ]

Re: DISCUSSION.

[fairhands]

[No because I'm the hardass parent of this family.


But okay even he has to give in a little when he sees one trying so hard.]

DECISION.

[soulping]

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

Re: DECISION.

[robitussin]

Yeah, not happening. Sorry.

Re: DECISION.

[soulping]

[ No funny feelings or companions appear. She's free to leave the room or hang out there and play the game as she will. ]

Re: DECISION.

[fairhands]

I'll take it.

Re: DECISION.

[flightful]

[ As he says it, for just a brief moment he's filled with a warm, funny feeling. It passes as quickly as he comes and when he takes a look around he'll find a new, temporary companion. ]

Re: DECISION.

[fairhands]

[It's a bitty version of him, though a lot more...clean and neat than he remembers himself being, even if there's a bandage or two here and there.]

...Ah.

Re: DECISION.

[wherethewildthingsare]

I'll do it.

Re: DECISION.

[soulping]

[ As he says it, for just a brief moment he's filled with a warm, funny feeling. It passes as quickly as he comes and when he takes a look around he'll find a new, temporary companion. ]

Re: DECISION.

[wherethewildthingsare]

[..There's a little.

Bear cub. rolling around.]

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.]
