[A thick mist descends, obscuring everything but a small area around you and your teammates. There's a sudden feeling of distance . . . and you find yourselves in a new patch of garden. Grass is thick and springy underfoot, but more noticeable is the picnic blanket, the picnic baskets filled with building supplies, and the toothpick skeleton of a large castle. Perched atop of it, waving merrily in the breeze, is a flag of your team's color and animal.]

You have 100 points to spend on parts. Choose wisely.

[Each picnic basket has a label tacked to the handle, indicating what each item costs.]

[Walls:
- Tea cosy walls (10 points)
- Teacup walls (20 points)
- Mirror walls (30 points)

Guards:
- Scone guards (10 points)
- Teapot guards (20 points)
- Clockwork guards (30 points)

Moats:
- Empty moat (10 points)
- Moat with mirror shards (20 points)
- Moat with hot tea (30 points)

Offense:

Catapults
- Crumpet catapult (10 points)
- Cuckoo catapult (20 points)
- Clock catapult (30 points)

Arrows
- Ladyfinger arrows (10 points)
- Rose arrows (20 points)
- Mirror shard arrows (30 points)

Spears
- Sunflower spears (10 points)
- Cocktail umbrella spears (20 points)
- Wine glass spears (30 points)]

[In addition to the labelled supplies, there are many more that come without a cost. Paints, squishy blocks that can be moulded as you please, finger foods, anything you'd find at a tea party, bits pieces of clocks (as well as whole ones), mouldable sheets of highly reflective glass, and a few rolls of fabric . . . You instinctively know that they'll add nothing to your offence or defence, but they're there to use as you see fit.]

[wait am I all alone in doing this?]

[so he's just going to poke at a few of the materials and figure out how to combine them wisely. his castle isn't too shabby, but he's never really done anything like it before, so it probably looks a little peculiar, if anything. he tries to keep it balanced in offense and defense though, because it sounds safe. it eventually gets:

teacup walls 20
scone guards 10
moat with mirror shards 20
cuckoo catapult 20
wine glass spears 30]

I wonder if this is how it works...

And now, my dears, it's time to pick your attacks. Only one from each category, please. And you may only send one to each team you choose. We wouldn't want to unfairly gang up on anyone, now would we?

[And then you are given a list of attacks, all of them written in neat, loopy manuscript on the page of a lavender notebook]

Low Attacks
- Nuts and bolts and gears and things in a slingshot
- Flower petals in a slingshot
- Parasol swords
- Tea saucer discs
- Crumpet crumbs

High Attacks
- HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME (a giant cuckoo clock with a boxing glove where the bird should be)
- Bubbling hot strawberry jam
- Butter knife spears
- Steamed tea bags
- Shattered cup and plate shards

[hmmmm]

Tea saucer discs to... [why do I have to choose these things :|] to Takshaka. And the bubbling hot strawberry jam to... to Ratatoskr.

My. . . how dreadfully boring. Let's make things a bit more interesting, shall we my dears? I'll give you the opportunity to steal one item of offense or defense from another team to boost your own. Of course, you could just steal nothing, but that wouldn't be any fun, would it?

[Once you've decided on a course of action, reply with OFFENSE or DEFENSE and the team name (if you decide to steal), or PASS if you decide not to]

Ah... Defense, Takshaka...?

That's more like it, my dears. ♥

[poof! a bubbling hot tea moat has appeared around your castle! You have gained +3 defense]

["dears"? it's just me here though]

[Oh no! Your wine glass spears suddenly disappear in a similar 'poof.' You have lost -3 offense :(]

[but no I already had a low offense :(]

[And then the time for your castle to be assaulted comes. You wait. And you wait. And you wait some more]

[. . . no one attacks you]

[You may go to endgame]
