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.

Souji had helped him understand that. Even if things had changed, even if his family wasn't what it once was, it could still be a good thing.
"...You deserve the same, you know."
Raising his hand, Dojima hesitated a moment, not sure if it was appropriate or not, but then reached out, ruffling the kid's hair.
"But yeah. Let's see if we can't change the story to something better for everyone involved."
Because, thinking on it, hadn't the Prince also lost his friend, even not knowing of the Mermaid's feelings? He could understand that pain himself, the loss of a friendship...
no subject
He starts a bit when Dojima ruffles his hair. Under normal circumstances, he would frown and bat the hand away, but in this instance? He didn’t mind the contact, and actually felt a little comforted by it.
“Thanks, Ryotaro. It means a lot, really.”
no subject
Dojima pulled his hand back, nearly telling Roxas to call him 'Dojima-san, or at least Dojima' but, stopped, thinking.
This kid barely had what anyone could consider a real life; it was no wonder he had no clue about The Little Mermaid and other stories. And could he really ask or explain to a kid like that the appropriate names and suffixes you call someone depending on personal closeness based on Japanese society?
...Yeah, no. It wasn't worth the effort anymore than it was worth trying to teach that damn blond kid not to put pop rocks in spaghetti.
"...Heh. No problem, Roxas."
no subject
"I really hope we can fix this place soon. I've never been to an underwater kingdom before. I bet it looks beautiful when it's not all... broken." He gestured to the murky water with his hand.
no subject
Dojima paused for a second, before glancing back to Roxas.
"...Are all the stories like this, when you get to them before fixing them up?"
...The kid looked a whole lot calmer now. That was a relief.
no subject
"Yeah. All of them look dark and ominous... one world was completely devoid of colour, and the other was all dead-looking; the river even had skeleton fish in it."
That was also the story he'd learned of the limitations of his Essence form. It was not a fun ride.
"But the more we work at them, the more they brighten up and, well, come alive."
no subject
Quite literally too. Dojima gazed out over the broken, grey coral and dark waters.
"...Well. Guess all we can do is do our best to set things right... And get a happy ending for you, and her."
