FRANKIE GAME - BLUEBELL

[crittersheep]

[ The sudden fridge arms have dumped you all into a chilly, (almost) bare white room:



The fridge door slams shut behind you. In here, there's a gurney with a spectral wolf sitting on it patiently waiting, a basket of sewing supplies with threads all in cool tones, and a tin can on a string sitting on the floor. The string leads off into a hole in the wall.


_{also i forgot to draw it but in the far corner behind the fridge, there's a big plastic white button shaped like a wedge.} ]

RULES OF PLAY

[crittersheep]

You must search your hearts, and answer questions that define who the Frankie you create will be.

This will enable the demon to select matching parts from its stock (the freezer) to be used for Frankie’s body.

Each body part comes with a STAR RATING, represented ICly by color-coded star magnets that magically appear on the gurney when you add the part to Frankie. Yes, you can move them around. Yes, you can try to do Shenanigans to the star magnets to alter your score. Follow your heart.

Also yeah characters ARE going to have to use the sewing supplies to attach all of Frankie’s parts, but like, feel free to handwave all the corpse sewing.

Now!
To start things off, knock on the Fridge Demon’s door!

[ . . . Picks up the tin can. And... places it to his ear?]

Hi bluebell!

Is your refrigerator running?

Arms are dumb. Make that arm a leg instead.

For that Frankie to find love, he will have to beg,
When he's got parts moved around: an arm for a leg!

[ here's a random voice. ]

Greetings. I had requested you be given a part, however it seems there is a catch. They wish to have information that I cannot currently recall. Would you be willing to provide your birthday, hometown, or mother's maiden name, please?

GAME START

[crittersheep]

[ you've been here but a few moments when a ghostly white sheep with bolt-shaped horns and a mustache pops into being and starts talking. Boisterously. ]



Welcome, come on in, make yourself at home, for the great work is now beginning! Today, fellow sheep, we will enact a miracle of miracles! A miracle beyond all miracles! That miracle that is the one that is most mundane and yet precious to us all: the making of life!

Through the revival-- and reconstitution-- of the dead tissue, you will create something wholly and better than what it was before! We, will make something interesting and NEW, where only there was NAUGHT and void and hunger!

With the canvas of my friendly and gentle assistant to help you put it all together. Say hello. This is Frankie.

[ Frankie waves. ]

I have also outsourced the nitty-gritty details of tissue acquisition to the Fridge Demon who so kindly had escorted you all to this room. The problem is, the demon has very MANY choices of tissue to offer, collected from previous clients... and I am only one amazingly tiny sheep! The hard work of picking out new meat to make new Frankies absolutely must be done by you all!

I must go to tell the other Houses about the situation now, baa-baa. Frankie will guide you through the process!

[ the ghost sheep dives through a wall. ]

FRANKIE'S GUIDANCE

[crittersheep]

[ ...it rapidly becomes apparent Frankie either cannot or will not talk. Their little dotted line tail just wags in polite befuddlement when they're spoken to.

HOWEVER,
any character that chooses to PET THE FRANKIE will suddenly know exactly what to do.

If no characters present choose to PET THE FRANKIE, they will eventually point a paw at the fridge, then mime knocking on it. ]

colorful alphabet magnets chaotically appear on the face of the fridge, and slowly arrange themselves to form a question:

FINAL SCORE

[crittersheep]

Hey... thanks for playing to the end. That... makes this part way easier to choose... that octopus... looks so delicious...

[ the demon reaches out and yanks off the green octopus arm, but instead of dragging it in...

It swings it hard so that it makes a wet shlapp down on the wedge-shaped button beside the fridge.

The light goes out. It is now dark. ]
