AMALTHEA

[ You're led through the TV into a...2-D looking world! You're in the middle of a giant-but-empty house, although don't worry! If you wander outside, you'll see that there's conveniently a huge furniture emporium next door.

You also might notice that, over to your far right, there's a counter that starts off with the words $50,000. No matter where you move, it moves accordingly so that it's always the same distance away.

While you guys are figuring all this out, Game Freak's voice can be heard from...somewhere: ]

I'm a little new to this, so let's start out with something kinda basic! Everyone likes decorating simulated houses, right? Right!

[ You've got $50,000 and a giant empty house; what do you want to fill it with?

Also, you might notice that there's an otter in a red suit skulking around outside...wonder what that's about. ]

[WAVING TO THE OTTER IN THE RED SUIT.]

Good day to you, sir. Might I have a moment of your time?

Ah, good day to you as well. Is there something you need?

I was wondering if there was anything in specific which you could share in regards to the scoring you shall be doing.

Well, since you asked so nicely, I suppose I can share a little...

We like to see a well put-together room. Matching furniture, colors, the whole shebang. Completing an entire matching set or series of furniture will, of course, up your score as well. We have also been instructed to consider how well the house reflects your team.

And, as a piece of advice....please do not take my mistress's cue on organizing. Messy rooms are not attractive.

Of course. And, assuming that we are to reflect our team... In the case of Amalthea, this means we are to reflect the perception that we are, within the games, utterly ruthless murderers?

Am I allowed to use the materials which I have on me in order to assist in making the colors match? For instance, using my scarf to drape over something.

Ah...I do not know how specific I am allowed to be [ looking nervously up to the sky for a moment ] but as for our grading, we will not base it on perceptions. We would like to see an accurate reflection of Amalthea.

However, others will also be choosing a favorite house, and they are asked to evaluate how the house reflects the team as well. So perhaps using that perception would work then.

As for your scarf...each item has a base color, but I suppose if you draped a scarf over a chair I could count it as the color of your scarf.

Allowing us to recolor things so long as we are able to find a means through which to work with the coloration... I see.

One final question: are you a fan of haunted houses?

Are you asking whether I like them, or whether would I score them highly?

For the purposes of this exercise, let us say both.

I don't have a particular preference, myself; if it's a fully-decorated haunted house, I will like it, as much as I will like another fully-decorated house.

For scoring, haunted house itself is not scored higher than another type of house. However, depending on what points you rack up in doing so, it could be rewarding. Does that make sense?

It does. And, of course, coordinating colors and matching sets would be a good start. The 'creepy' series, then, would be an excellent start... and alongside it, things which aid in the vibe which I am looking for.

Is the use of blood specifically disallowed? I have an overabundance and am willing to use it to aid in the effect.

[ ...What. Looking a little horrified at the suggestion. ]

Miss, our points are assigned based on the furniture you utilize. I cannot give bonus points for bloodstains or the like.

Very well, then. I shall avoid going that far in the direction of the image I have in mind. [She gives a small nod.]

Thank you very much for your time. I promise that I shall make everything come together as flawlessly as I am able. I do look forward to your patronage in the future.

I look forward to seeing what you will come up with, as well.

[ ...probably. ]
