Chapter 01: Act I - The Horseman of Christmas Past
A Hollow Christmas Carol: Act I—
[Mod note: Refer to the accompanying Game Notes for more information. If you wish to switch out of your current role, let us know!]
§ instructions.
This is the designated log for all the main scenes for Act I: The Horseman of Christmas Past. All sub quests and nonrelated threads are to be made in their own posts. The scenes are listed below along with the assigned cast. Organization wise, the threads can happen in any order so you don't have to wait for one group to post before you do. Just start when you're ready! But to help, include in the subject line the scene header (ex. Scene 1, Scene 2, etc.) You can fluff it up a little to make it more specific like including the main characters or even scene title. Just be sure to have the number so we know which is which!
As a reminder, characters will have the necessary information within their journals. Those who are selected to play a scene will find their journal flashing red, so hard to miss. Aside from a few aesthetic changes (costumes, makeup, etc., think stage effects), all characters will be unchanged and won't gain any new powers or properties (ie. "Ghosts" are still tangible). The information they have is roughly the same as what is written OOCly.
Although there are certain characters set for a scene, it's not impossible for those not directly involved to make an appearance as random side characters or helpers. Characters can either just happen to be there or those cast as the role can make a "call out" through the journals. Any items and locations found through the main scenes are also free to be used by others for fun. There are also Bonus scenes that are basically extra prompts for people to have fun with if they'd like.
If you have any questions, post them to the Game Notes.
§ main scenes.
¶ Scene 1: Ebegeeser and Horseman of Christmas Past. The Horseman is supposed to show Ebegeeser how he was as a teacher and he was (supposedly) a decent guy. So the best way to showcase that is give Ebegeeser a classroom to teach. The two will need to recreate the Schoolhouse, take care of some pranks, and deal with animated straw children. The "children" can behave however players want them to. Angels or devils, throwing things at Ebegeeser. Even the Horseman can be a brat and play along if they want. The Horseman will also have their pony to deal with and yes—must ride it at some point. Note: If it's pre-planned to not find the Schoolhouse here, let us know so that it's noted in other scenes involving it.
Cast: Ebegeezer - Kazuma Asougi; Horseman - 9S
¶ Scene 2: Ebegeeser's first meeting with Beltrina. Set in the Schoolhouse, Ebegeeser first meets the beautiful Beltrina...and starts thinking about her wealth. Beltrina herself is practicing the violin and is already in a relationship with Bromfred. But could Ebegeeser worm his way into her heart!? Time for Ebeneeser to get his flirt on...and the Horseman might sit on the side and watch. MUSICAL NUMBER ♫ Note: If the Schoolhouse is pre-planned to not be found in the other scene, then they will need to find the box. Otherwise, the scene is set in a random building.
Cast: Ebegeezer - Cyrus Albright; Beltrina - Pearl; Horseman - Therion
¶ Scene 3: Bromfred's arrogance and Ebegeeser's jealousy. After learning about Beltrina's relationship with Bromfred and Bromfred constantly messing with him, Ebegeeser is brimming with hatred and jealousy. Bromfred's feelings are far simpler—he just finds the guy dumb and an easy target (no one said Bromfred was nice). So they are at each other's throats and will showcase their dislike through the magic of rap. The characters will have to find microphones, make a stage, and then dish out insults at each other a la "Drop the Mic." Who will be the victor? Will Ebegeeser let slip his murderous thoughts!? MUSICAL NUMBER ♫
Cast: Ebegeeser - Edna; Bromfred - Therion; Horseman - Ib

I guess...that's not so bad, as far as stirring up trouble? It'd be rough to clean up but at least nobody's getting hurt and none of his books or anything could be ruined by a little sand.
no subject
[ 9S finds sand intensely annoying. Ultimately harmless, yet somehow still the worst. ]
Did you go to school, Alfyn?
no subject
[Not school as he knows it, anyway.]
We couldn't've afforded for me to go to the Academy in Atlasdam, and anyway I had everything I needed to learn to be an apothecary right at home in Clearbrook.

[Apothecaries have to know the antidotes for a variety of poisons, venoms, things you shouldn't eat...and so as a result they also know, often, how to make the poisons themselves or what concentration of venom is deadly or what has no taste but leaves you throwing up for days. All part of the job.]
Especially if I have no way of fixing what I'd done to 'em yet. But I learned a lot! When we get back I'll start keeping a list and maybe grow some of 'em around my house if I can.
[As he understands his Essence, the urge to Plant Things is kind of written into him now, and he doesn't mind one bit.]
no subject
9S would offer to be a guinea pig if he knew what a guinea pig was, or if he had any kind of comparable biology. As things stand, he'd literally drop dead from mackerel, so who knows what Alfyn's concoctions would do to him. ]
That's great. If you like, I can help you hunt down some plants when we're back in the Index. Lets me put the "scan" back in Scanner, you know?
no subject
That'd be great! I bet you'll notice what I'm looking for a lot faster than I will. What I really hope is that we don't end up too sick or hurt too often from all this.
[As little suffering as possible!]
no subject
Speaking of which, I should get to that sand before the Disciple gets back. See you around, Alfyn.
