[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.]

- Tea cosy walls (10 points)

- Mirror walls (30 points)

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

[ oh god i'm all alone ]

A-ah... d-doing something like this by myself...

[ ...and with this echo around, too... ]

[ maybe i could just throw the game in a fit of tsun

urge to fuck self over, rising ]

[ but on the other hand masters will be upset... and so will everyone else, probably... well, maybe not them, but lepus... ]

[ ... well, she did say nobody was going to be harmed. maybe winning this one will be okay.

if. if i win. ]

[ o-okay. huffs, and gets to figuring out numbers... ]

[ The created castle is... rather shoddily put together, honestly, but an attempt was made. The walls are blocky clay set with gears and other clock-pieces with tea cozies draped over them, with decorations of like. Sugar cubes and tiny vegetable pieces and stuff. The towers have some fabric strips stretched between them, and tiny flowers stuck into the top of each tower, alongside little scone archers wielding their tiny rose arrows(and some towers have cuckoo catapults). Near the base are more scone guards with sunflower spears, with angry icing faces drawn on them. There is a moat of steaming hot tea dug around the castle. BEAUTIFUL.

The points used:
-Tea cosy walls (10)
-Scone guards(10)
-Hot tea moat(30)
-Cuckoo catapult(20)
-Rose arrows(20)
-Sunflower spears(10)

~100 pts ]

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

[ ... what are these options even. ]

Um... "Hurry up" to Ratatoskr, and maybe... Parasol swords to Epona?

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]

[ why would you give me this choice...... ]

Um... steal offense from... Omet..ot... ome... ... rabbit?

That's more like it, dear. ♥

[Poof! A bunch of wine glass arrows appear to line your castle walls. You have gained +3 offense!]

[ ...sweet ]

[. . . but in addition to that, your cuckoo catapults disappear in a similar poof! you have lost -2 offense]

[ WHATEVER I STILL GAIN ONE POINT :T ]

[Suddenly a few guards made out of scones storm your castle with. . . parasol swords! They knock over your defenses easily, destroying two of your castle walls! You've taken damage]

[And then. . . even more guards, these made out of clockwork parts, storm your castle! But these guards are wimps and your defenses stave them off easily. Somehow. Even though you only have two walls. No damage!]

[AND THEN some nuts and bolts and gears and things (they all look like pieces of stuff you'd find in a clock) come flying at your castle! For being so tiny they pack a pretty huge punch, and they demolish the last of your walls. . . oh no wait, you still have a piece of a wall standing. You've taken damage]

[You may go to endgame]
