[ Once you enter the train, it takes off...moving for only a few moments before coming to a stop in the midst of the void Delriza's realm floats in.

There's still no sign of the echo herself, but fortunately it's at this point that the rules of the game burn themselves into your mind, like you always knew what you were supposed to be coming here for. ]

RULES

[soulping]

WELCOME TO GIRLFRIEND SAVING SIMULATOR 2014.

In this game, you will attempt to save your girlfriend. A scenario will be presented to you each round, and you will discuss among yourselves and try to present a solution that you as a team believe will result in your girlfriend not dying. You are allowed to use anything described in the scenario as well as any skills or powers you may possess as part of your solution. Once it is turned in, you will receive your result at the end of the round.

In addition, you have in your possession the MOON card and WHEEL OF FORTUNE card.

Playing the MOON card must be done at the beginning of the round, and will erase the current scenario and give you a new one. The WHEEL OF FORTUNE card must also be played at the beginning of the round, and will instantly result in a complete success for the round but cause one other random team to fail.

IN EVEN MORE ADDITION, each team begins with one fate point. At the end of each round, you must, along with turning in your solution, choose a team or teams to send at least one fate point to (for example, you must always send one, but if you have more than that you do not have to send all of them. If you have three, you can keep one, send one to one team, and send one to another team). For each fate point a team has, the harder their scenario will be.

BUCKLE UP

ROUND 1

[soulping]

You are a princess, and your most loyal knight will be accompanying you on a journey through the Rogue's Wood. You are travelling to the castle of an enemy while on a mission of peace. You are extremely confident that you will be safe, yourself, but that's only because you know she will absolutely sacrifice herself to ensure your survival.

You don't want that.

The rogues of the wood most often employ ranged weapons, and usually lay traps on the most traveled paths through the wood such as caltrops or bladed traps designed for crippling horses, or magical bombs designed to damage carriages beyond use, before firing on those who do not surrender from the trees and brush.

You are taking with you, aside from your knight, a decoy carriage with your court magician, who specializes in EXPLOSION MAGIC, a priestess, and five additional warriors.

... I don't think I like this game much...

. . . I know why she's running it.

Is it that bad?

[Hi.]

Well, not the worst scenario.

TURN-IN

Re: TURN-IN

[carptricks]

FIRST, Tiamat will send their HORSE and CLOVER to the front. Clover will use her intricate knowledge of magic and bandit traps to seek out and neutralize any that might be on the path with her magic!

KAITO will travel alongside the caravan, but he'll remain stealthily hidden in the underbrush. He'll use his stealth and reconnaissance skills to attempts to spot the rogues before the rogues spot them, so he can give proper warnings.

The MAGICIAN, PRIESTESS and PUMA will ride in the carriage. PUMA will wear a dress and act as a decoy princess (kya kya). The fire warriors will walk around the carriage to fend off rogues should they attack. If the rogues breach the carriage, then the magician can use EXPLODEY MAGIC to fight them off. Puma will punch them in the face. The priestess will idk be a priestess or something.

Finally, the LADY KNIGHT and DIAMOND (THE REAL PRINCESS??) will bring up the rear of the caravan. Diamond will use her invisibility powers to keep them invisible the entire time, so no rogues target her or the lady night. If it seems like they're about to be attacked, Diamond and the lady knight will make a hasty escape.

And that fate point goes to AMALTHEA.

Re: TURN-IN

[soulping]

You successfully neutralize the traps and avoid the rogues. However, most of your team dies during an ambush.

It doesn't matter, because you and your knight escape. However, the mission itself doesn't go well...but everything seems fine. For a few years, until war is declared anyway.

Your knight dies on the battlefield, defending your honour.

You receive 30 POINTS.

ROUND 2

[soulping]

You have 1 fate points.

You're rafting with a friend, but suddenly the river becomes treacherous. You lose your paddles, and the rapids are quickly pulling you towards a waterfall. You're directly in the center of the river, which is wide enough for a ship to pass through, and both banks are thickly wooded.

She offers to try to toss you to shore.

Since.

You know, she's apparently strong enough to do that. You definitely aren't, though.

Re: ROUND 2

[purrtylittlewires]

So, what are the chances of freezing the river?

Re: ROUND 2

[showbooty]

Clover, can you freeze the river?

Re: ROUND 2

[fuhrinkaed]

Hey guys. Did I miss something?

TURN-IN

[soulping]

Re: TURN-IN

[fuhrinkaed]

ED and CLOVER will use ICE AND WATER MAGIC to redirect the RAFT towards SHORE by way of FREEZING WATER. Then, once they have arrived, it is time to GET OUT OF THE FOREST by way of liberal use of INVISIBILITY and KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR LARGE ANIMALS while using TEMPERATURE MAGIC to discourage reptiles and things from approaching.

In the event we have to rest for a night, we take turns KEEPING WATCH over our girlfriend.

Once we have returned to civilization, we are never going camping or rafting ever again.

ONE FATE POINT TO OMELETTES.

ROUND 3

[soulping]

You have 0 fate points.

You're a princess. Again.

She's a dragon, and has kidnapped you. But you want to stay. However, an army is being sent to storm her mountain and save you. You have at your disposal her entire hoard (composed of every shiny thing you could possibly imagine), and of course, her. Your parents have already shown they will not listen to reason on this matter. They want you back, no matter the cost.

Re: ROUND 3

[carptricks]

. . .

We could always move away from the mountain.

Re: ROUND 3

[showbooty]

... Even if we pull it off, some knight or something will just come by and slay the dragon for unrelated reasons, right...?

Re: ROUND 3

[fuhrinkaed]

...Let's use illusion magic.

Re: ROUND 3

[hyanaimne]

[slow headtilt . . . ]

. . . I see. This is an odd scenario.

Re: ROUND 3

[purrtylittlewires]

[....but how does that even...]

You know, if we were away from the dragon, we could probably just order them to take us home and we can talk to our parents when they've calmed down?

TURN-IN

[soulping]

Re: TURN-IN

[carptricks]

DIAMOND will use her illusion magic to make the army think that the PRINCESS committed suicide and the DRAGON was dead, so no one tries to look for them or comes after them at a later date. Meanwhile, the real PRINCESS and DRAGON will escape from the mountain out of a series of secret tunnels (or just. out the back way, where the army won't see him) and flee to the edges of society to live out their days together.

The PRINCESS will then pick up the sword and devote herself to fighting side-by-side her dragon girlfriend, protecting life whenever she can. She will live the days she has with her dragon girlfriend to their fullest. She'll love her girlfriend with every ounce of her heart, and cherish every moment the two spend together.

. . . if the PRINCESS outlives the dragon, then she will make sure she is there to say goodbye before the dragon's final moments. And then she will honor her dragon girlfriend's memory with every ounce of her. She will live on and move forward, fighting to protect other people's lives in the dragon girlfriend's name, remembering and cherishing the past without letting it interfere with her future.
