Chapter 03: Act I

The Little Mermaid: Act I—





§ instructions.

The first Act of our third campaign is underway! This is the designated log for all Main Scenes. Others are free to create their own toplevels for the Sub Quests, which are detailed below. Each Main Scene has their own unique toplevel and those cast into the roles are to thread their scene under each. All scene instructions are provided in the toplevels. There are also toplevels for each Sub Quest this time around, but players are more than welcome to create their own individual toplevel if they have something else in mind they would like to do.

As a reminder, characters will find similar information and instructions within their journals so they won't go in blind. Also to note, all characters will have all their belongings within them as well as the additional supplies provided to them by the Storyteller. As you know, everyone has undergone a special "mermaid" transformation upon arriving into the Book, but do note: characters in Main Scenes will have a second wardrobe change while acting the scene. Their merform will stay the same, but they'll have additional bits to add to their role. Outfits will be provided in the prompts themselves, and these outfits will only be in affect during the scene. The moment they leave the setting area, they return to their other wardrobe.

Finally, just to be clear, characters who are in Main Scenes are not immediately dropped in to their location and will have to travel to the "setting location" and then return. Threading all of that isn't necessary, but it's to help give a better idea that characters can take a break between scenes or wait a bit to help with other things like the Sub Quests.

Feel free to refer to the Game Notes for more detailed info as well as ask questions or clarifications.

[Okay, deep breath as she tries to take in the words. Calm down, caaaaalm down. After a few seconds, she feels at least a LITTLE bit steady, enough to try and take hold of one of the crystals again.]

These are pretty, aren't they?

[Yes, small talk, but something casual like this might help soothe her nerves a little more before continuing. What's the next challenge again?]

[She's not gonna like it.]

They are. They're for the crown right?
ricebird: (Oh?)

1/2

[personal profile] ricebird 2019-07-22 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hm... let her check her journal again...]

Well, the crown's already finished, but they would look nice there... Ah! Here we go!

"The little mermaid is to brave the nest of eels to procure crystals, with which to light her way through the dark, swirling vortex of currents through the corridor leading to the chamber of sacred oysters."
ricebird: (Whyyy...)

[personal profile] ricebird 2019-07-22 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[. . .]

D-dark swirling vortex...?
deadmentellnotails: (I Know)

[personal profile] deadmentellnotails 2019-07-22 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[. . .

Yeah, checking his journal.]


Aye, it would seem so. I wonder how we can change that...
ricebird: (I dunno...)

[personal profile] ricebird 2019-07-22 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... well... Tying the lights to the crown o-or something isn't a bad idea. Although... the spear might make it more dangerous.

[Because yeah, she doesn't need to wedge herself in a tight space, or WORSE, end up impaling herself.]
deadmentellnotails: (Really Zaveid?)

[personal profile] deadmentellnotails 2019-07-23 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Why would the spear make it more dangerous? Just keep the pointed end away from you.
ricebird: (Whyyyyy do I have to wear this?)

[personal profile] ricebird 2019-07-29 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Won't it be hard to hold onto if the currents are too strong, though? Or get stuck if the space gets narrow?

[Plus she REALLY doesn't like the idea of accidentally cutting or stabbing herself.]

Having something pointed can help cut the current.

[Though he's not sure if the spear will help all that much. He just really thinks Kotori needs something.]

And it's a stick. If the space gets too narrow for it, it's too narrow for you.
ricebird: (I dunno...)

[personal profile] ricebird 2019-08-11 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's not so much narrowness but tight bends-- okay, maybe Eizen has a point that she's worrying too much. If the spear can't get through, she drops it.]

Okay... I guess wish me luck...
deadmentellnotails: (I Know)

[personal profile] deadmentellnotails 2019-08-11 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll pass. Might curse you instead.

[But she has this. He has faith.]
ricebird: (Shinobu...)

[personal profile] ricebird 2019-08-15 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha... Right...

[At least she has the Stick of Doom? Right, okay... deep breath... and farther into the tunnel she goes. So far it's just dark, but for a little ways, Eizen might still be able to watch her enter the darker passage.]
deadmentellnotails: (Do Not Mess With)

[And Eizen just starts humming some old sailing song either to calm Kotori or keep himself occupied. Hard to tell.

He's a pirate. They do that.]
