[crittersheep]

You all wake up, but you're still in the field of pillows and blankets. However, right now, it's just you and maybe a few other members of the flock.

In the middle, you have a random sheet of paper that is to be filled out (if you cannot read or write, do not worry, you'll either instinctively know how to or someone can surely assist you if neeed be).

There's also a bag of snacks that you can carry with you on the journey. Enjoy them now, you can't take it all home.



If you would like to request something else, you must roll for it (ping Celi in discord if you do).

ROUND 1

[crittersheep]

Good afternoon . . . morning . . . it is some time in the day . . .

So here's how to fill out the form, I better tell you know before I fall asleep again . . . ~

OOC RULES

[crittersheep]

For Round 1, you need to submit two things as a group (not individually)!

One, you must pick a scenario that you must go through. I'll list them again:

• You are a princess (or a princess and their knights) trying to escape their fate and become an adventurer. Or something else.

• You are at an art gallery that had paintings stolen by a famous thief. Your art exhibit is suppose to happen tomorrow, what do you do?

• You have a large project due tomorrow at school, but you haven't done any research or decided on any topic. If you don't pass, you will go to school jail.

• You are at home, but you’re dealing with a toilet that is overflowing. You have an important person coming over tomorrow.

• You are a chicken farmer that has learned that some of your chickens can speak. They came from space and need your help to send them back home.

OR Pick your own prompt!!

Two, Choose four stats that you will use to perform every action. They can be the basic attack/defense/speed stats, or go wild like "the ability to create cotton candy from anything". I do think the more unique and tailored to your characters will be a more interesting run, but I'll do my best to make every adventure memorable!!

With regards to the stats, order them in preference of MOST IC FAVORITE/IMPORTANT to LEAST IC FAVORITE/IMPORTANT.

Round 1

[wooliefrand]

You'll find a door appears amongst the pillows, the desire to go through the door becoming strong as you walk right through it.

Once you do, you find yourself right in the middle of the scenario, and you blend in with it. This might mean your appearance has changed or that your voice or mannerisms fit the setting as needed. The world feels real and you know any action you take can harm you as if it's a real scenario and not just a dream sequence.

And you have your bag of snacks, too.

All of you are young, budding artists, excited to have your first art exhibit, and it's a big one, too. Many important figures are here to see your work up close and to critique it proper, and hopefully, your name will finally get out their in the world. However, the worst thing imaginable happened.

Almost all of your art works were stolen, and the exhibit is tomorrow. The staff doesn't seem to know what had happened when you asked, and there was not really much time to go hunt down who was responsible. Or was there?

The art exhibit hall itself isn't very large, its one large room at the end of one of the many hallways that feature greater art pieces of the museum. There's security cameras everywhere, and more importantly, signs of some sort of wrongdoing lying about. Now you could try to retrieve them or perhaps that might take too much time, and you might want to come up with another solution?

What would you like to do?

Round 3

[wooliefrand]

Re: Round 3

[wooliefrand]

Wait jk.



Lyra decided that for a backup plan, it just makes sense to create another portrait, one that others might see as the stars of the universe within a person's eyes, but Lyra knows who the star of her life truly was.

That said, it takes time to make art so while she does that, the other decide to see if they can at least find the culprit. When Belle tried to discuss with the guests what could have happened, they gave lukewarm answers: there was one strange person here earlier, they looked a little shifty, they were tall . . . but also did Belle know how pretty HE was? Was he part of the exhibit?? He really should be, he's hotter than the other paintings-

And then of course, Konabos, he knew if he thought outside of the box, he would be able to think something up. However, he came up with....well. Random laws of things that are illegal that don't pertain to this situation...

It is illegal to fish while driving across a bridge. You are not allowed to break more than three dishes per day. It is illegal in the State of Florida to sing in a bathing suit. He had to sit there for some time, trying to think of anything that pertains to the situation, but he kept thinking up more and more laws...

Odin also went to check out the Signs of Wrongdoing. Except.

Re: Round 3

[wooliefrand]

He ended up in an exhibit of literal signs of wrongdoing:



He did discuss with some of the patrons that it seemed there was a weirdo dressed in all black loitering around...

Re: Round 3

[wooliefrand]

But Cygnus was able to see the footage, thank lord mercy, and so he could see a tall figure, dressed in black, literally just roaming through the exhibit until he could see him take out some of the portraits and moved out of frame. From what he can tell of the footage, he isn't sure where that criminal went off to exactly, after all, not every area was covered by the cameras, but he could pick up two things.

1) A figure of that height never left the entrance so they must still be here.
2) They must know about the cameras to some degree since they knew how to escape some of the camera view.

Round 3 (real)

[wooliefrand]

...

"Wait, is this an art exhibit or an idol fanmeet....?"

[wooliefrand]

The persuasion is so good that even the narrator of the scenario is starting to get confused, but like they said, idols are like art themselves (literally you have visuals and faces and centers!!!!) so it's not that hard to convince the people that this was always the case.

The art of idol worship and what it means through the traditional sense of painting and the nouveau sense of art such as interpretive dancing truly moves the audience.

If this was a preview of what's to come, they were definitely going to come check out the full exhibit.

And bring autographs.

And fancards.

And gifts.

And

Re: Round 3 (real)

[wooliefrand]

And then Odin begins speaking dog (???) or at least, enough for even the dog to understand. Somehow. He was persuasive enough to convince the dog they could speak the same language at least.

There is an impression that the dog prefers wine over hotdogs.



However, that's beyond the scope of language, and they end up just accepting the snack and then leading them towards ... the security room?

Re: Round 3 (real)

[wooliefrand]

As the dog leads them towards where Cygnus was going, one of the staff members was trying to get in the way, letting them know that the space isn't very large and only so many people could fit in.

Of course, Konabos got in the way.

Re: Round 3 (real)

[wooliefrand]

"Isn't it a little suspicious that you're so adamant in keeping us away?"

He pushes his glasses up, a glint in his megane eyes. The fangirls nearby who had been recording the whole thing screamed in excitement. They also thought he (and the dog) were idols.

Re: Round 3 (real)

[wooliefrand]

All the while, with Belle and Lyra actively courting their fans, it really seems like they don't need to worry about an exhibit. Somehow, someone who has the power of lighting on their side illuminates Belle's beautiful figures, and the way Belle looked down on the fans, looking at them with kindness and a hint of disdain (not intentionally) caused them all to swoon.

Fans are weird, Belle is right to be grossed out tbqh.

And bid on all of the paintings that don't exist. Someone tried to yell that they wanted to bid on Lyra's hand in marriage and then a light beams right into their eyeballs and they fall over in pain (I rolled a 4).

And we know who was responsible.

Re: Round 3 (real)

[wooliefrand]

Dramatically (with intentional lighting from the television screens) (yes he found the best angle already) (yes he's just this way), he turns to the group who had arrived.

The tvs all set up with a different angle of the culprit.

And he points to the staff member.

Re: Round 3 (real)

[wooliefrand]

"The culprit...is YOU."

DISCUSSION

[wooliefrand]

I really want a hotdog atm.

Anyway, what is up with you guys? What do you do about this new information!!!

FINAL RESULTS

[wooliefrand]

The narrator has accepted that they must write a new mystery novel and have it on Cygnus's desk before the end of the day if they want to maintain a passing grade in the class.

The mystery reveal has been rewritten and sent to Cygnus for approval and returned the money to all who were disappointed of this outcome. The reveal was that it was the art director who had been jealous of their potential success especially since the director had been blamed for the museum's failures up until this point. He was introduced early on (as per Ronald Knox's guidelines, graciously given by Cygnus) and became a more important figure of the story.

Please grade the narrator with the truth!!!!

During this time, the exhibit went well, everyone enjoyed the art pieces, old and new, and people really enjoyed the additional mystery added into it thanks to Konabos and Belle's contributions. The audience still had fun and honestly, that part is important, too!

But next time, we'll try harder! Or maybe a full detective ritual . . . ? Stay tuned to find out.
