Tale of the Bamboo Cutter: Act II—

Everyone carries out their tasks well, and once they have been completed they could rest for some time within the safety of the base camp. Sound and color once more return to the land, everything looking more normal and even vibrant in some places. But one night, as all drifted to sleep, a silver fog drifts in and washes over them. They will all dream of story's progression:

Whether they succeeded or failed, once the princes return from their journeys and the princess gives her judgment. And that judgment is to reject all of them. Truth be told, she had hoped that none of them would return, either to fall to their fates or just give up. But for those who managed, while she still refuses to give away her heart, she does acknowledge their strength of courage and determination. Thus she invites them to stay within the court as her servants of sorts should they so choose.

Meanwhile, the forests around the manor had grown bountiful, gold and precious gemstones adding to the family's riches. All of this and more catch the attention of the Emperor, and he now desires to make Kaguya his own. But will he fare any better? And there is an ominous wind as the full moon slowly ascends into the dark night sky, growing larger than it has ever before. Little do they know that more vistors will soon descend upon them, also seeking the fair Kaguya...

When the dream fades, everyone will wake up to find themselves not in their camp grounds, but within the manor instead. Once more their clothes have changed, ranging from the finest noble silk to clean but simple uniforms of servants and guards. Although it is mostly peaceful within the manor, there is rumbling outside, shadows flitting over the night skies and a dark, ominous fog rising from the bamboo forest. A large fight quickly approaches and preparations must be made.

New roles have been cast and more tasks to be done as they are quickly reaching the end of this story. Like before, specific paths are marked for those designated to follow.

Now. How will this story end?

§ instructions.

The second and final Act of the 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. Like the Sub Quests, there is no specific toplevel for it, but players are free to incorporate it in their own.

As a reminder, characters will find similar information and instruction within their journals so they won't go in blind. Also to note, all characters will have all their belongings still with them as well as the additional supplies provided to them before, but now they have the additional resources from the manor itself. In addition, they will experience a second general wardrobe change, and once again players are free to choose what that outfit is so long as it fits with the described setting and theme. Characters in Main Scenes will have a second wardrobe change while acting the scene. 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.

Tale of the Bamboo Cutter: Act I—

§ instructions.

The first Act of our second 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. Finally, it is okay to assume that a base camp of sorts is made in that central location. Like the Sub Quests, there is no specific toplevel for it, but players are free to incorporate it in their own.

As a reminder, characters will find similar information and instruction 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. In addition, they will experience a general wardrobe change upon arriving into the Draft to match the general feudal Japanese aesthetic, but you don't have to be too strict about it. Characters in Main Scenes will have a second wardrobe change while acting the scene. 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. So those on Prince Quests, they can wait a day or two before setting out, and after completing their journey, they can rest another day or two before going with Kaguya to be judged.

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

Tortoise and the Hare Races Mini-Event—

Amidst the sudden flurry of red hearts and sudden declarations of heartfelt confessions of love, there is a lot of fanfare and excitement about the newest carnival to roll through the Index. Inspired by the fable, The Tortoise and the Hare, denizens of that particular story have set up a special racetrack that runs around and through the carnival grounds. For those who are not feeling the love, this is an excellent chance to getaway for some real excitement as well as serve as a great distraction from the terrors that lurk just outside.

The "entrance" is really a curved ramp of the racetrack, the sound of racers zooming past and firing off various magical power-ups a thrilling greeting. To fit the theme, everyone is given an animal costume to wear—unless they are already part-animal. From there carnival goers are greeted with a strange mix of sounds and sights of a traditional carnival and high speed racetrack.

Of course, it's not just all fun and games. The Aspects will receive a brief message from the Storyteller, alerting them that the time is almost near for them to restore another Story. To help prepare, there are several items scattered through the carnival grounds that need to be found. These items will most certainly help aid them in the future, so the more they find, the better.

Good luck everyone!

§ instructions.
As mentioned in our Game Notes, this mini event is mostly for fun, but there is a Scavenger Hunt to help connect it to the upcoming campaign. To see the items and claim which one your character will find, refer to the Game Notes and sign-up! As a reminder, characters will have the necessary information within their journals. The information they have is roughly the same as what is written OOCly. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them on the linked Game Notes post.
