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.

If Rokurou ever asked, he'd explain. Or maybe Dojima'd be lucky and someone else would eventually see the resemblance too.

Listening to Rokurou explanation, Dojima... rose an eyebrow. Talking so very, very casually about killing someone (his own brother no less)...

Yeah. That reminded him of someone. It was an uncomfortable reminder, and Dojima really wondered sometimes; was it something wrong with people like them for being so nonchalant about taking someone's life, or something wrong with him for valuing life so much?

Either way... this man wasn't likely a threat, but Doima also didn't know how much he could trust the other man. Maybe in a fight against a mutual threat, but in anything else...?

Probably not.

"...Well. I'm sure you'll keep finding challenges." He gestured towards the Armory. "So are you done, or do you still want to look around?"

Whether Rokurou noticed any change in Dojima's expression, he paid no mind. He was used to varying reactions to his answers, and he knew how he may appear to others. The simple matter was he didn't care and thus wasn't bothered how he was judged. He was who he was—that was all.

But Dojima's analysis wasn't wrong. Rokurou made for an excellent ally. But should the case ever arise where the other man was a threat or in his way... Then it wouldn't matter what kind of relationship they had.

At his question, the daemon looked around for a bit.

"Nah, I think I'm good. There doesn't seem to be anything I can really use, anyway." Which was a bit of a shame. "Think I'll head back out and see what else there is to this place."
detectiveforhierophant: (heh really then)

"Well, maybe you'll be lucky and find a cutlass around somewhere."

That was the type of swords pirates used, right?

All the same, Dojima held up a hand.

"...Next time you head out on your own, though... can you at least give someone a heads up about it?"

...Before smirking a little himself.

"...Just so if you don't show up in a few days someone can go looking for you, or what's left of you."

Because he had a feeling if Rokurou was the type to bite off more than he could chew at the wrong times...

"If it's not rusted over," he chuckled as he prepared to leave.

But then Dojima held his hand up, and the daemon was polite enough to wait to hear the words he expected. So Rokurou just grinned and waved a dismissive hand.

"Don't worry about that. I have friends from my world who know how I work. But, since you care so much about it, I'll be sure to let you know, Dad."
detectiveforhierophant: (Are you serious?)

"...Is it that obvious I've got a kid?"

Cat's out the bag, he supposed.

"... But, alright, if you have friends from where you are, I guess they'll know how to handle you. Just don't get your head in too deep."

...God, he really did sound like a dad. Ugh.

"I wasn't going to assume, but even without one you have that 'overbearing, watching over the young' kind of personality," Rokurou answered with a grin. Especially when Dojima did nothing to really to persuade him otherwise with that warning at the end.

So he just gave him one last wave and a smirk.

"And you're talking to a war daemon. Getting my head in too deep is part of the lifestyle."

With a flip of his tail he jetted off into the water to do exactly what he was told not to.
