GULGALLANA

[soulping]

[when you insert the key and open the door, you'll find inside the room looks like a small room—you can hear noises of the bustling life outside, as well as other people beyond the thin walls. the space bends on the walls, and a basket sits on the table with a blanket folded into it.

inside, a baby stirs restlessly - you hope she goes back to sleep soon, and you play your flute in hopes of lulling her back to sleep. unfortunately, a sharp knock sounds from the ceiling - the tenants upstairs don't like what you're doing. you take a more drastic measure, singing softly to your baby as you rock the basket back and forth and hope the tenants don't complain again.]

-

[slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby cries, and in turn, the upstairs tenants knock at your ceiling again; she finds her way to your flute, tooting happily though no noise comes out; a little toddler, she becomes attached to a stray cat; you decline her request, and she storms out to run away for a little while as you regret; she returns, covered in cat hair and ignores everything you say; then the wall becomes opaque.]

[in the corner of the room, a young girl the age of 10 crouches, looking away from you. she holds a cat in her arms, petting the creature constantly.]


[you wish you could have done better for your baby girl. but this is what you love to do and maybe you'll get a gig that pays well enough that you two can move out of this shithole - hopefully. you tried your best to rear her, but with how infrequent you're in the house, working odd jobs in the day and performing at the pub at night, you're not sure anymore. you know she is capable of anything if she puts her mind to it - even becoming a princess. but you also know it's not easy to become a princess - then again, if anything your little tyke is tough. thankfully, you've emergency savings - for her schooling, of course. you have a lot of regrets, but maybe it's not too late.]

MORAL DILEMMA

[You find yourself in a moral dilemma. . . your daughter confides in you there is a bully in her class who is giving a hard time to a few of her classmates. She is unaffiliated with her bullied classmates, however it seems the teacher is not taking any action. She is thinking about taking on the bully herself, but the bully is also twice her size and much, much stronger than she is.

[soulping]

It seems there's been trouble brewing in the town, and the ruling noble has narrowed the problem down to one person: your daughter.

He demands you and your daughter leave this town, else he would hang you both for assaulting his one and only son. As a warning, he's ordered someone to string up your daughter's cat after vivisecting it and hang it over your door.

What do you do?

Re: [!]

[debate_avenger]

Hoo... I was expecting him to make a move. Well then, shall we begin? As a bard, I likely have a great deal of contacts. We will of course agree to the noble's demands...

Of course, I will also be taking the opportunity to turn as many people in this town against him. Would you look at that? He believes he is so superior to us that he has the right to do whatever he wants?

Let's start a proper rebellion. I'll be using all the tactics I've taught my daughter, as well as some more fun tricks... We know chemistry, do we not? Let's make an explosive going away present for our noble. Of course, I'll be sneaking my daughter out of town before things break out. And promising her we'll definitely avenge her cat.

ENDING

[soulping]

Criminal Boss
Con. . . gratulations?
You're not really sure if you should get congratulations. Your daughter did not succeed in the Summer Festival, but she did meet a few influential people. . . just, not the lawful sort. After several quiet years, your daughter disappeared. You discover after stumbling upon one of her "deals" that she is now the boss of the underground mafia. . . and that was the last thing you learned of her. You're not sure if you should regret how you raised her or not. . .
