FRANKIE GAME - THISTLE

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

The fridge door (YOUR fridge door, dammit!) 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 purple 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.} ]

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!

[ 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. ]

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

A 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 to the fridge, and mime knocking on it. ]

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

"What will they love?"

...but then MORE magnets start appearing, and another question pops up, right beneath the first...

"What will they hate?" ]

[ while the magnets move around this time, one of them strikes another so hard it flies off the fridge and onto the floor.

"What will they d sdain?"

the magnets for the second question move with excessive neatness into place.

"What will they obey?" ]

[ the fridge magnets form a trail like a wiggling vine, before the vine falls apart to form the words of the third question.

"What will they fear?"

"What brings them bravery?" ]

[ the alphabet magnets twist and turn as they form the fourth question.

"How w ll they die?" ]

[ the alphabet magnets condense together into the shape of a heart, before flowing apart into the words:

"What will make them happy?"

&

"What will they mourn?" ]

[ the magnets briefly form the shape of a horse, before sliding apart back into words.

"How would they describe a horse to someone who has never seen one?"

&

"How would they describe a human to a horse who has never seen one?" ]

[ the alphabet magnets slide around sluggishly as they form the final question.

"Was fate kind to them?"

&

"Will they try to change theirs anyway?" ]

Well guys... It's been real...

[ the fridge demon gently reaches out, and picks up the cowboy hat. Puts it on its own head. ]

But it's time... I hit that dusty trail...

[ without further warning, snatches the cat leg they were just given, and shoulder checks the fridge, so that it falls over and slams the wedge-shaped button.

The light goes out. ]

I was saving these... for a BBQ...

Oh well.
Points... for brand loyalty...
