PPP; S.3, T.2

[idolpro]

The clock strikes twelve and everyone will find themselves inexorably drawn to a seat; the once-empty place marking now bears their name on it. The place settings and food items all vanish in a spray of glitter, and the In the middle of the tables what appears in their stead are--two fancy gold chests, one inlaid with red jewels and the other inlaid with blue jewels (neither of which can be opened yet) as well as what looks to be a game board and, of course, a single dice. The long, billowing curtains draw down around each table and--you'll find yourself unable to leave your table, or see or hear anything beyond it other than the background music which continues to play.

R1, turn 1: Amaranth

[worthathousand]

....Well, this is. Surprisingly cute, actually? Like some decadent version of a children's game.

[ She gives the dice a roll, coming up with just a 1. ]

Alright, this means...
[ taking the perfume and giving herself a spritz. an irresistible scent. ]

Re: R1, turn 1: Amaranth

[widenessofthesea]

Ah, that's—that's a, um. Lovely scent?

R1, turn 2: Hope

[widenessofthesea]

[ just... reaching for the. hand lotion? it's the least make-up-like item in there...

and then sort of reflexively reaches for the hand of the nearest other player which before just like. recoiling?

oh no. ohhhhh no ]

Re: R1, turn 2: Hope

[worthathousand]

...Are you alright, Hope?

R1, turn 3: Cardinal

[deicider]

[Cardinal rolls a six and grabs an earring.]

We get to play it twice, even. This game is great.

Re: R1, turn 3: Cardinal

[worthathousand]

Is that so? What was your first game like?

R1, T4: Rye

[protectshisown]

[Rolls a five and will take stock of what other reds get.]

[Eh, he'll try the nail polish and]

[Now there's. Woodland creatures here???]

...huh, that's not bad. [I am for animals, okay.]

Re: R1, T4: Rye

[widenessofthesea]

...all right I'm taking that one next.

R1, T5: Northstar

[polarislight]

I'll have you all know I'm already a pro at this.

[Rolls a 1 and lands on a red space. She looks the box over.]

Hmmmm. I didn't try...this one. [She takes the eyeshadow and spends a few seconds applying it.]

Re: R1, T5: Northstar

[protectshisown]

Was there another round?

R2, turn 1: Amaranth

[worthathousand]

Nothing too daring yet, hm?

[ With a flick of her wrist, she gives her die a toss across the board, landing on a 6. It takes her to... another red square. ]

Alright, now I might as well go with lip color. [ She grabs it to apply. ]

Re: R2, turn 1: Amaranth

[widenessofthesea]

...what does that one do...?

R2, turn 2: Hope

[widenessofthesea]

[ ughhghghgh what if she just takes the nail polish this time because woodland creatures are fine.

why do birds suddenly appear every time nail polish is near? ]

Re: R2, turn 2: Hope

[protectshisown]

[We are gonna have so many woodland creatures.]

R 2, turn 3: Cardinal

[deicider]

[Cardinal lands on gold and snags the crown.]

Yes!

Re: R 2, turn 3: Cardinal

[polarislight]

Hooh! We already have our first princess! Well done.

R2, T4: Rye

[protectshisown]

[He rolls another five! And gets a green!]

[Looking around.]

I think you're the only one with jewelry. [Cardinal.]

Re: R2, T4: Rye

[deicider]

Very well, since you need it.

[Handing over an earring.]

R2, T5: Northstar

[polarislight]

[Northstar rolls a 5 and lands on a blue space. She takes the earring and slips it on.]

Let's see, this one didn't seem to do anything objectionable last time...

[She'll now take everything she hears as a challenge.]

Re: R2, T5: Northstar

[widenessofthesea]

Ah, that's good, then?

R3, turn 1: Amaranth

[worthathousand]

[ Much better now that she's got Cardinal seated beside her.

Her next roll (5) brings her to a blue square, for jewelry. She selects a necklace. ]

...Hm. I don't think I feel any different?

Re: R3, turn 1: Amaranth

[widenessofthesea]

Good to know, at least...

R3, turn 2: Hope

[widenessofthesea]

[ ugh okay maybe she should do... something else. rouge? what could go wrong with that ]

That seems... fine.

Re: R3, turn 2: Hope

[worthathousand]

Perhaps we're getting a bit of a respite, after all the... affection.

[ "who could have done this" ]

R3, turn 3: Cardinal

[deicider]

[Cardinal lands on green and frowns at Rye.]

On second thought, I need that. [snags the earring back!]

Re: R3, turn 3: Cardinal

[protectshisown]

Ah, yeah, okay. If you need it.

R3, T4: Rye

[protectshisown]

[Rolls a 2 and lands on blue.]

[Will pick up a ring. Let's see what this does.]

Re: R3, T4: Rye

[polarislight]

Oh. I had that one. How do you feel?

R3, T5: Northstar

[polarislight]

[She rolls a 5 and lands on a red space.]

Hmmm. I'm getting a lot of make-up this time. [Snort.] I wonder if the dice are trying to tell me something.

[She looks around and picks...the rouge, applying it.]

Re: R3, T5: Northstar

[protectshisown]

If they are, they're being very rude.

[worthathousand]

[ Once she's done comforting the two people she just accidentally traumatized— ]

Oh, I'm up again, aren't I?

[ resettling Cardinal in her lap before rolling again (2). ]

Hmm, more cosmetics.

[ She uses her little finger to press on some eyeshadow this time... and then the air around her begins to glow with a silvery-grey shimmer. ]

[polarislight]

[....HUH.]

I haven't seen the eyeshadow do that yet.

R4, turn 2: Hope

[widenessofthesea]

[ all right so she is definitely avoiding the ring, that's bad juju, uh

hairpin? that's a small item, not really consequential, that's surely fine




though she has a distinctly funny look on her face afteward. ]

Re: R4, turn 2: Hope

[protectshisown]

You okay?

Round 4, turn 3: Cardinal

[deicider]

[Cardinal rolls a two and selects a tasteful black choker.]

Re: Round 4, turn 3: Cardinal

[protectshisown]

Any idea what it does?

R4, T4: Rye

[protectshisown]

[Listen, he just had to go through a hell of a memory.]

[Rolled a 2, got a red.]

[Will just choose an easy to apply one and grabs the perfume and NOW FLOWERS WILL JUST SPROUT FROM HIS HAIR.]

Re: R4, T4: Rye

[worthathousand]

[ Wow, now she's disappointed! ]

Oh, that's much flashier than mine.

R4, T5: Northstar

[polarislight]

[Rolls a 2 and lands on a black space.]

Oh.

[She slips on the headdress.]

...

...does. Anybody need anything?

Re: R4, T5: Northstar

[protectshisown]

No? Does that make you want to serve people?

R5, turn 1: Amaranth

[worthathousand]

[ A roll of 4 brings her to a silver space, the colors around her shifting briefly to a mix of green and purple as she considers the diadem with a slightly uncertain expression before putting it on. ]

Alright, that's taken care of...

[ a beat ] ...Ohohohoho!

Re: R5, turn 1: Amaranth

[widenessofthesea]

[ wheeze ]

Having fun?

R5, turn 2: Hope

[widenessofthesea]

[ acquired: crown ]

Well! Normally I'd say this is an antiquated symbol of outmoded governance but this is for fun, after all.

Re: R5, turn 2: Hope

[polarislight]

[aaaaaaaaand Northstar's attention suddenly shifts from Cardinal to Hope.]

Ah. Uh.

Excuse me. [She holds a hand up.]

R5, turn 3: Cardinal

[deicider]

[Cardinal snatches the diadem from Amaranth!]

Re: R5, turn 3: Cardinal

[worthathousand]

[ brow raise, but she doesn't complain; her aura goes a serene topaz blue ]

No longer Empress, but perhaps a Head of House, instead?

[ a beat ] ...Oh good, I'm no longer laughing.

[protectshisown]

[Rolled a 1 and is on blue.]

[WELL EARRING DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BEFORE.]

[Will put that on.]

[worthathousand]

Have we figured out if those do anything just yet?

[ expression interested, and aura flickering yellow ]
