The Sixth Trial: Group A

[hot_mess_express]

[Upon entering your assigned door, you find yourself in what appears to be a dressing room. Right now it's bare of supplies -- instead there's a pair of laminated posters laying on the makeup counter. Across the top of the first is a theme in big, cheerful font:

A Romantic Fairytale Adventure
Starring: Not You!

Below that is a set of blanks, to be filled out by you with the marker provided:

Characters: ________, ________, ________
Nouns: ________, ________, ________
Verbs: ________, ________, ________

The second poster is similar, but most of it's totally blank.

████████████████
Starring: ________, ________, ________

Characters: ████████, ████████, ████████
Nouns: ████████, ████████, ████████
Verbs: ████████, ████████, ████████

Now what do we do here...?]

ROUND ONE

[hot_mess_express]

The voice chimes in again:

Here's your first assignment: instructions for another group! Your targeted rival (chosen by me, of course), must act out a play according to the theme provided to you. Their only clues will be what you give them on this sheet. You could choose to communicate their theme to them effectively... Oooor you could decide to promote yourself by leading them astray. But keep in mind, you're also at the mercy of whoever has your theme. Choose wisely!

INSTRUCTIONS

[hot_mess_express]

Fill out the blanks on Sheet #1, to be given to your target group. You must choose:

- 3 character roles
- 3 nouns
- 3 verbs

You may not tell the other team their theme. Whether the information you send is accurate to the theme or not is up to you. You have 45 minutes to submit your answers.

As the new person, I need to ask. Is this cooperative or competitive? In other words, should we be aiming for something easy or difficult?

[thereisnowhy]

Mm~? This trial is not so bad! Sora likes it better than the other ones!

[bowtiedbones]

Should we use a classic fairytale or make one up for roles?

Re: DISCUSSION

[grimpa]

[trying to consolidate everything--]

For characters, "Brave Princess," "Gallant Knight," and "Scary Witch"?

Nouns, "magic," "kiss" and-- perhaps "curse"?

Verbs, "propose," "rescue" and "quest"?

DECISION

[hot_mess_express]

Re: DECISION

[grimpa]

Characters: Brave Princess, Gallant Knight, Witch
Nouns: magic, kiss, curse
Verbs: propose, rescue, quest

ROUND TWO

[hot_mess_express]

[After you've written your answers down, the first sheet disappears, and you're left only with the second.]

"Second assignment: choose your actors! Nominate three members of your team to play out your assigned roles. Choose fast."

Re: DISCUSSION

[wontforbidtherain]

We don't even get to know what sorts of roles we're signing up for.

Re: DISCUSSION

[thereisnowhy]

We have lots of pretty "actors", hehe~ But Sora will be biased and say he thinks Mister Rufus is prettiest!

Re: DISCUSSION

[grimpa]

[I DON'T WANT TO VOLUNTEER,]

................................I could play a role.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bowtiedbones]

I can give it a go if nobody else wants. I don't know acting, but I can do public speaking!

DECISION

[hot_mess_express]

[Please submit by 8:45]

Re: DECISION

[grimpa]

Rufus, Eliza and I will play the parts.

ROUND THREE

[hot_mess_express]

[After you nominate your actors, the room goes dark for a moment.

When the lights come back on, the dressing room is full of props, costumes, makeup, and set pieces -- anything your characters might want is probably there, but all of it is cheesy and not very high quality. A door has appeared -- you now have access to the stage on which you must act!

Also, your second sheet is now filled out:]

████████████████
Starring: Group A!

Characters: Eliza as the Scared Love Interest , Rufus as the Victim , & Fang as the Ghost
Nouns: Screaming, Dying, Spooking
Verbs: Knife, Cross, Holy Water

And finally: your time to shine! Use the clues your rivals have given you to put on your best show. May the best man win!

Re: DISCUSSION

[ruinatings]

Ah. I get to die. Interesting!
