[theme song]

Once upon a time, there was a story who was loved. A story who had been read over and over and over again, loved by everyone who had read it. At some point, it had been reinvented and reimagined over and over and over until the original couldn't be recognized anymore. Even the story itself can't remember what story they originally were. Instead, all they have is a remnant of their original story as their name.

Their goal?

To remember who they once were.

Once upon a time, you were someone who knew this story well. You read that story over and over and over again because you loved it so dearly, but at some point, you grew up. You left that magical world and ended up in a world that had forgotten the world of magic.

But one day, you remembered that magic. You remembered the world that you loved, that story you loved, and you wake up in the new world.

But you don't quite remember the details.

If you can remember the story through the LOVE LOVE DOKI DOKI in your heart, you might be able to help the suitor (aka the story) to remember who they truly are, and maybe also, figure out who that story truly wants to be.



The story holds out their hand to you to help you up from the field you were lying in.

PROFILE

[crittersheep]

Happy and Grace. Aka the story of Hansel and Gretal

Likes: Bakeries, Halloween, Themselves
Dislikes: Cake, The Forest, Darkness

Two figures that almost seem to share the same brain as one often repeats the other. To be quite honest, they're pretty extravagant in their actions against others. Pranks are DEFINITELY a bonus. They don't mind causing trouble if they think it's fun, and murder is never off the table. They're also very protective of one another and anything that tries to harm one of them will cause them to flip out. Emotionally volatile, but a great time!

They hate sweets with a passion.

ROUND 1

[crittersheep]

SCENARIO

[crittersheep]

“Hi there, you silly beans. You silly beans! I know we met, but maybe not all of you so let me tell you what's goin' on. I am Happy and Grace, and we'm basically the embodiment of a fairy tale. If you don't know what those are, you know what? Good.

Our goal is to remember who we are. Why? Cuz it's annoying forgetting who we are. It's like we remember bits and bobs, but everyone took our story and retold it so many times, we forgot who we are.

But the one thing we do remember is the love given to us. If we can truly experience that love again, we think we'll be able to remember who we are. We might not like who we were, maybewe like who we are now, but we can address that when we get there.

Wait, wait, wait, we're not asking you to fall in love! LOLZ. But wethought it might help if we go on dates. Dates to help regain the memories we lost.

We know this is a big favor to ask for but, will you help us?”

ROUND 2

[crittersheep]

SCENARIO

[crittersheep]

Today, you’re going on a date at the local cafe! The fairytale seems to be convinced that this is a good first lesson, and one that’s easy enough to learn from. After all, love is stored in the belly (after eating something delicious) and surely they have SOME memory of food in their stories.

Mostly they're just hungry though.

Unfortunately, they underestimate your ability to make things exciting.

1. A fancy cafe where you berate the wait staff for their poor service.
2. A coffee date where you order the most complicated order that you can think of.
3. Just a regular sit-down cozy cafe where you get up to use the restroom and then abandon the story to pay for the bill.
4. A famous cafe where you decide to duel the chef in an epic battle.

ROUND 3

SCENARIO

[crittersheep]

Today, you’re going to try going to the ocean to figure out what kind of memories you can regain there. The storybook hopes with less people, it'll mean less trouble after that last date . . . It’s a nice bright and breezy day, wind blowing through your hair/fur/feathers/etc and you feel confident that you can regain a memory here.

You and your fellow angel of choice are going to make sure that this is the best beach story of your life. What memory will you make here?

Please select one.

1. Bury the storybook in the sand and leave them there for an hour.
2. Crack open a watermelon, blindfold and stick in hand, but you end up smacking the storybook by accident.
3. Take about two hours to decide on which swimsuit to wear.
4. Scuba diving gear! The real answer is to hide in the ocean water and pretend you’re a shark and scare people to death.

SCENARIO

Today you’re going to the local market to shop through the various wares that the local villagers are selling! The bustling energy is good and maybe you'll be able to find an item that can trigger their memories.

However, all of a sudden, the story book turns to you with a smile and asks what you would want if you could have something. It seems they’re offering to get you whatever gift you would like.

Because this will absolutely trigger the memories, cough.

Please select one.

1. A fanservice anime figure. Everyone is watching you buy this [lewd] thing with no hesitation. Wowee.
2. Oh, look, that is absolutely an illegal weapon of mass destruction but it's one of a kind. Surely, you have to get such a rare item, right??
3. You want the giant elephant-like mount. You want to feel powerful.
4. Actually, you’re gonna try to sell your fairytale to see how much you can get.


Today you’re going to the local market to shop through the various wares that the local villagers are selling! The bustling energy is good and maybe you'll be able to find an item that can trigger their memories.

However, all of a sudden, you see it. A mysterious merchant selling something you want more than anything else in the world. A single, perfect, never-aging, beautiful red rose. Under a glass protection that can never be opened. A symbol of all that is good in the world and all that is meant to be cherished. You can't look away. It has no practical value, but your life simply won't feel worthwhile if you can't own this beautiful, perfect, rose...

You want it. The merchant quotes a price you can't afford. There's too many people around and the merchant is looking directly at you: you can't steal it. What do you do?

4. Offer to work as their personal slave for however long they like if it means they will give you that rose.

ROUND 5

SCENARIO

[crittersheep]

Today, you’re going to a local stageplay! Experiencing the stories on stage will surely be a positive experience for you and everyone when it comes to regaining those memories!

Also stageplays are fun, ahem. But this is DEFINITELY about memories cough hack wheeze.

But what sort of story are you watching?

A virtual pop-up screen suddenly appears in front of your team. For those who can't read, a voice will read it out to you:

Please select one.

1. A literal murder. Wait is this an execution, wait a sec-
2. Watching a comedy and throwing popcorn at anyone who laughs or coughs or make any sound. Telling them to pipe down is the way to go.
3. Forget their stories, lets bombard the stage and make it our own!!!
4. Flirt and smooch and whatever else in the corner during a romance story, disregarding the people next to you.

Please select one.

1. A tragic, heart-rending romance, with a sad ending that makes you ponder the preciousness of your existence.
2. A comedy that makes you laugh, although the jokes aren't really much of substance.
3. Something very abstract. At one point the stageplay direction says the characters have transformed into birds and are torturing the audience with lit matches held out of their mouths. The actors are doing their best, but it's hard to visualize.
4. You entered the wrong night. It's a scientific lecture about the history of the understanding of psychology. Well, that's sort of theater-adjacent?

ROUND 6

[crittersheep]

SCENARIO

[crittersheep]

Today, you decide that you should find a place to live together! A place to call home is often an important part of these fairytales, right? Kinda? Sort of?

WHATEVER, THE HOUSING MARKET IS NO JOKE, WE BETTER GET ONE NOW THAN LATER.

But what kind of place do you want to call home?

1. The local swamp! Rumors is that an ogre lives there so it's likely no one will bully you. It might be dangerous though.
2. The castle! You will simply overthrow the rulers and take over. You're the rulers now.
3. Like. A normal cozy home. Monthly payments. Deal with a mortgage.
4. It's more fun to live a life on the run! So lets commit crimes and never find a "home". We ARE the home.

ROUND 7

[crittersheep]

SCENARIO

[crittersheep]

The sun is setting once more after a week's work of fun dates and parties. The fairytale is taking you back to your home or lackthereof. However, before they let you go, they grab your hand (or two, they only have two hands and there are maybe many of you).

"Wait. I just. I wanted to let you know that you've been a great help. And I've been having a lot of fun actually...

So I was just wondering if...this was something you wanted to keep doing. There are plenty more dates out there we could do..."

They look away, a bright pink forming on his cheeks.

" But... maybe as an actual couple." Throuple? Quadruple? You and all of you obviously. "What do you say? Even if I don't remember everything, it doesn't matter."
