Gloom: BARiTONES

[idolpro]

[The old-fashioned writing desk in the center of the room carries several blank pieces of paper, a fine wooden pen, and a piece of parchment covered in writing. When you take a look, you find the following epigraph in a vibrant scrawl:]

Congratulations, future wordsmiths, and welcome to your first exercise in the creation of a true masterwork of tale-telling. This evening you'll be penning a terrific tragedy, starring the family of unsympathetic ne'er-do-wells provided to you.

Your goal? Why, to construct the best story your mind can conceive, of course - and make their lives as entertainingly miserable as possible before writing one of them directly into an early grave.

It seems like it's a bit of a... collaborative effort of wildly varying enthusiasms, but yes.

Princess Absinthe.

It would not be the first time.

Re: DISCUSSION

Beset with annoyances from Kohime, or being a princess?

Re: DISCUSSION

[innerdaemons]

Being a princess. Did you participate in the game where one could explore her soul?

Re: DISCUSSION

[marsascending]

Ah, I missed that, unfortunately. Possibly due to being too busy hosting my own soul soirée.

...I'm trying to imagine it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[innerdaemons]

Ah, yes -- that would have done it!

She's not very fond of princesses, as it turns out.
