CHAPTER 3

The number of murders increased in the span of one week, and so did the number of deceased people. Four people dying in the span of a week is a noticeable change, reducing your numbers to 25. Though the bakery has been cleaned up and fixed back to the state it was in originally, now that the specter of murder has fully settled in, perhaps some of those currently alive wonder how many will be around at the end of the new week.

It's fortunate now everybody can ponder it with a colorful change of scenery. Despite the situation everyone has been in, the world around them were plausible, even perhaps mundane to some extent. The scenery that unfolds beyond a canyon to the east drives home a point:

You're in a world far perhaps, beyond your wildest imagination.

It's a land of sweets. Wherever you look you can see something that's both full of sugar and joy. You could reach anywhere and you could get something that will make your mood soar and your day get better! After all, there's something for everyone! What wonders will you find if you search hard enough? This is a paradise for a sweet tooth! The sight, though, may make one question pop up:

Will this candy land be dirtied with blood? Only time will tell.

[[Welcome to Week 3! Feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. However, please try to keep investigations to Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday! You can also privately contact Hamelin at your leisure.

kings game kings game

[ This might be a toned down version of the, uh, whatever the fuck the adults are doing over there (or here, I'm not the boss of you), but listen. They can still have fun, too! So. Time for King's Game -- a modified version of it, anyway! (Just to make our lives easier OOCly!)

Anyway, Tenn has a little pouch with a bunch of slips of paper in there. He gives the bag a little shake. ]

Alright, this game is called King's Game. This version is simple: Everyone draws a paper from the bag, but there's only one crown. Whoever gets the crown gets to give one command to anyone. For example, if I get the crown, I get to order Edelgard to only speak in rhymes for the next three turns.

[ He won't do that, but you get the gist!! Hopefully. ]

You can order as many people as you want to do whatever you want. Just don't make it too weird.

Let's begin.

[ ooc: I figure the best way to do this is to top level with your character getting the crown! You can choose people however you'd like (RNG, etc.), or order everyone to do something ridiculous, doesn't matter. Have fun with it! ]

[crimson_flamel]

There's a metaphor to be made here about drawing crowns from a bag. I won't make it but it's there.

[She immediately fishes out a crown, like a fool.]

Ah. So now I can order you to speak in rhymes for the next three turns?

[incompletely]

[ He's about to laugh in response, but.

Well. She sure did draw a crown, just now. Tenn blinks in surprise, but her order makes him shrink just a little. He had a feeling it'd come back to bite him in the ass at some point!! ]

You wouldn't.

[crimson_flamel]

I would. Speak in rhymes, poet.

[incompletely]

[ Ah. ]

Fine, I'll comply, I promise I'll try. This is harder than it seems, so try not to...

[ Oh god. He pauses, trying to think of a rhyme here -- ]

...make memes.

[ m e m e s ]

[crimson_flamel]

Hmm, I feel as if making words up goes against the spirit of the game.

[She's onto you, Kujo.]

[incompletely]

It's not made up--

[ ...and this is when he remembers what time period Edelgard's from. Whoops. ]

ah. Never mind. It's not a word you'd be familiar with.

[ Wait, he has to rhyme-- ]

...I. Promise it's not some kind of myth.

[crimson_flamel]

Good enough. Now do we draw again? Please remember to keep your response in the rhyming scheme.

[She's enjoying making him squirm.]

1/2

[incompletely]

Yes, we do. So put the crown back and let more madness ensue.

[ he's so fucked.

Anyway. He reaches into the bag after everything's back in place... ]

[incompletely]

[ ...a-ha! There it is. In his hand is the slip of paper that has the crown on it. ]

It seems like I'm the lucky one. Now, Edelgard...you can't run.

[ He grins at her. It seems pleasant, but there's absolutely something menacing behind it!! ]

Since it's my turn to ask something of you, for the next two turns, you must talk in a weird way, too. Every other sentence must be a metaphor. Surely, this must be something you haven't done before.
