Characters: Finn Mertens | Jack (of the Beanstalk) and Kotori | Sweet Porridge Girl or YOU
Campaign: Hollow Christmas (Act II)
Format: [ brackets ]
Open
Summary: Finn acts out a scene as Bromfred and also takes part in some subquesting!

[A. Scene 4: Promfred] (Locked to Kotori)

[Finn's finally gotten a role! It's not exactly a role he wanted, however. Bromfred seems like kind of a bad guy. But for the sake of the story, he'll have to try his best to fill those dirty shoes.

Once he's all dressed up, he searches the party for this Beltrina-to-be.]

Beltrina! Um... Beltrina, where are you! [He tries to sound assertive, but his voice wavers somewhat.]

[B. Another Christmas Carol]

[Finn's not too familiar with the Christmas spirit, but he'll do his best to join in on Christmas carols! He should probably learn how to do one first. He'll look over a book of lyrics while also experimenting with a flute.]

Soooo, which song should we try first?

[C. Mind Your Manor]

[Finn's most at home when it comes to action. And sure enough, there's action afoot! Outside the manor, Finn can be seen dealing with Santa's nefarious gang. His right arm, half of which is now made out of beanstalk, is on full display during this battle. Finn ends up clinging to the back of a reindeer, trying to direct its course to run down some of the old man's elves!]

Just when I thought I was done fighting old guys with big beards... Don't tell me this guy's an Ice King too! [Been there, done that. Come and help him? Or maybe the reindeer Finn's riding is accidentally on a crash course towards you!]

[D. Wildcard]

[Feel free to come up with another prompt, using any of the sub quests, or hit me up for further plotting!]

Comments

[decryptic]

I guess so.

[ There's no way to verify an answer, so that's about as much debate as 9S is willing to put into that topic. No point in dwelling on a fictional story. ]

Okay, ready to give this one a shot too?

[finnality]

I'm hecka ready! [He says, determined.]

Hey, your singing's good and all, but let's try something different this time. Just try to read the words all poetic-like, and to a rhythm. One that I will provide!

[With that, Finn starts beatboxing.]

[decryptic]

O-Oh... all right.

[ Bewildered but eager to comply, 9S listens to Finn's beat attentively. He's never heard anyone do that with their mouth before. Humans are so full of hidden talents. 9S doesn't know what it means to speak "poetic-like", but maybe it means... talk dramatically? He saw a play once, and Jean-Paul sounded snotty and self-important, so maybe poetry is something like those things put together.

Going with the beat, 9S tries to leave behind his self-consciousness and reads the lyrics with affected grandness. ]

Frosty... the snowman
Was a jolly, happy soul...

[ He's certain he sounds ridiculous. ]

[finnality]

[Oh man this is off to a beautiful start. Finn doesn't want to disrupt this, so he just keeps on beatboxing. But he does wave an arm around calmly, trying to signal to 9s to just go with the flow. Take it easy!]

[decryptic]

[ 9S still has his Doubts, but Finn's warm encouragement keeps him going. By the halfway point, he's eased into a more natural rhythm. It's less rap and more slam poetry lite, but at least he sticks to it until the end! ]

[finnality]

[Oh well, slam poetry's still pretty slammin'. Finn comes to an end and chuckles.]

Nice! It wasn't the type of flow I was going for, but man did you sound rad! That Frosty guy just got a whole lot chiller!
