[ Wilder the Trickster's voice sounds from somewhere outside. ]
I don't care how noble and heroic you're feeling; what I've got for you is far more interesting. You're going to be thinking up curses. To start with, every team has to come up with three curses. Something like, "You shall wake up with eight hangnails every day for the rest of your life," or, "May your undergarments itch into infinity." Nothing too violent or damaging, mind you. Today I don't feel like healing up you sorry lot if you wind up maiming each other.
Oh, and don't try to make them blessings instead. If anyone tries that, I'll change them into curses myself. Now, do be as creative and entertaining as possible, hmm? I'm looking forward to it.

The stormcloud grumbles above you, then spits out the following curses to hover angrily beneath it:
1. "May you be cursed to have the same song stuck in your head for hours at a time."
2. "No matter what you speak, it will come out in song."
3. "You are cursed to step in a puddle whenever you're just wearing socks on your feet."

2. "May your hair turn multi-colored in every shade of the rainbow."
3. "You will always confuse the salt and sugar and ruin your coffee and eggs."

The following curses now swirl beneath the stormcloud above you:
"May your hair turn multi-colored in every shade of the rainbow."
"You will always confuse the salt and sugar and ruin your coffee and eggs."
"May you never completely sneeze, even though you were sure you had to sneeze."
Above your heads, the stormcloud finally opens up, drenching you all in rain before finally dissipating. The curses that hovered beneath it fall down to hover around each team member instead. The overgrowth blocking the way out of the alcove pulls away. You can go to endgame, wet and trailing curses.

Hovering beneath the stormcloud are the following curses:
1. "Any time you try to speak, the only noise you'll make is croaking."
2. "You have a hard time thinking, and you will be dumb and metaphorically brainless."
3. "You can't read."

... Seriously?
And here I was, thinking he was going to be an asshole like Nafuna.

... Oh god, you're new.
[DRAGS A HAND DOWN HIS FACE...]
Nafuna's another Echo who made me nearly starve to death.
I was told this guy was a bad egg like her - but it turns out, he's just a jerk that can't even come up with his own curses.

I'm fine with making up our own curses if it means nobody's going to starve to death, personally. I mean, we're just doing stuff that's annoying, if we could do things like "You will always roll a one on a die, even if it has one hundred sides."

And you're a softie, too? I just won in the Cat lottery, sounds like.
[No, he's just hazing - this is how he makes friends!! Or something.]
Can't you go a little more... mean? I mean, nothing like "your arms'll fall off at noon and regrow at dusk everyday" or something, but c'mon.

You obviously don't understand how terrible it is to roll a one. Many brave heroes have fallen to the dreaded critical miss. Just imagine, you're about to do something important, and you roll a die to do it when... You roll a one and successfully manage to kick yourself in the face at the absolute wrong time.
[He's not making a good argument for this, is he?]
Aside from that though, let's see... "May every stunt you attempt end up as a hilariously spectacular failure", maybe?

And you're a nerd. This can't get any worse, can it...
[Literally the worst argument.]
It's gotta be something effectual. From what I can tell, this'll be handed out to other teams, probably - and if we wanna win, we've gotta be fast, and we have to be mean.
Something like "Anytime you try to speak, the only noise you'll make is croaking". It makes it so a team can't play, but no one gets hurt. Since you're a softie.

If it hits a whole team, yes. If it hits one person on a team, mildly.
... Instead, we could make them brainless. Metaphorically.
So if only one person is hit, they're a nuisance to the whole team.
