Games? Not interested. You're just wasting your time.

... Well, I guess they have to start somewhere.

[alwaystraveling]

It's a good one, as far as starting places go.

[rewritter]

It still leaves room for other kinds of torture, though.

[alwaystraveling]

True...but she's not one for keeping things miserable. She says it's monotonous.

[ooc: I also just don't have enough unhappy icons of her.]

[rewritter]

Tragedies tends to be, after a while.

[ OPPOSITE PROBLEM HERE also thanks! ]

[alwaystraveling]

The sense of impending doom irritates her.

[ooc: You're welcome. Maybe I should attempt to cheat and look for Romeo+Juliet icons?]

[rewritter]

I know the feeling.

[ MAYBE SO... ]

[alwaystraveling]

If nothing else, the variety of people brought here deliberately so that they can do new things can put a wrench into the plans of even a mun fond of tragedy. They don't always know how far they're going to get. Tragedies here seem to be a means rather than an end. Except for when a muse leaves a game and relationships behind.

[rewritter]

How inconvenient. I'd rather avoid the whole thing, if possible, but it seems like I might be heading to a game anyway.

[alwaystraveling]

Except for the dead, I suppose. People who died in their homeworlds can show up in a game after the fact.

Many of those who show up here do end up in a game if they aren't already in one.

[rewritter]

... So it's like a second chance for them, huh.

[alwaystraveling]

Some have looked at it that way!

[rewritter]

Including you, it sounds like.

[alwaystraveling]

Not quite. It's more of a chance to have adventures. My life was limited to watching other people have them.

[rewritter]

That's not a bad way to live, necessarily. What was holding you back?

She wants moooooore! She wants to be where the people are...

[alwaystraveling]

It wasn't unpleasant, but I wanted to be part of what I was looking at.

I wasn't supposed to; my natural habitat was in the sky. I'm a star. See? [Have a little glow.]

[rewritter]

[ ... whoa that's neat. ]

A star? Then how did you become human like this?

I had to put in the Ariel song

[alwaystraveling]

We become this way when we fall. I got knocked down to earth by what I can only assume is a special necklace. The one I'm wearing right now.

yes of course

[rewritter]

... A necklace, huh?

[ now that sounds familiar. ]

[alwaystraveling]

Yes. It was rather sudden.

[rewritter]

If it's a spell of some kind, you should know that those always come with a price.

[alwaystraveling]

I didn't put a spell on it though. It was just chucked at me. I keep it to see if I can find out anything.

Stars have fallen before, though only rarely. That doesn't require magic, but since throwing necklaces around doesn't usually land them off the planet, magic might have something to do with this.

[rewritter]

I wouldn't be surprised. It sounds like the kind of thing a sadistic storyteller would do to his characters.

[alwaystraveling]

I can only hope I wasn't in the middle of a tragedy back home.

[rewritter]

You might've been. These things happen.
