happy anniversary - and a meme!

[groundrules]

Hi everyone! eastbound stirred from undeath as roughly the world's tiniest game a year ago, and it's all down to everyone's enthusiasm, sleuthing and morbid sense of humour that it's still alive, sometimes braying and kicking.

To celebrate...

FORTUNE FAVOURS THE DEAD


A bevy of aggressive, loud and gregarious fortune tellers has inundated Ke-Waihu, seeking to exercise their... gifts for coin before departing by sea. To spread the word, they hand out a few free, unsolicited fortunes to hapless bystanders:

i. List your character(s), one per comment, and one or more funny, outlandish or depressing fortunes they've been told ( 'You will marry a six-headed frog by midnight,' 'A stubborn infant will bring your end with a toothpick'... )

ii. Comment around to help with, sympathise, or... point and laugh at everyone else's (mis)fortune. Spam vigorously.

iii. Up to you & your thread partner, if you want to make these conversations game canon and ice break some CR!

Cowardly.

One of the fortune tellers just told me that.... we haven't seen the bear around, have we?

[downswing]

...it orbits Wei Ying on appearance.

[scrapgege]

But not this time, right? It probably wouldn't like this climate much.

[downswing]

Forests?

[scrapgege]

It's a snow bear, though, isn't it?

But maybe there are other bears, it's true. Even if I haven't seen anything bigger than the foxes and the dogs so far.

[downswing]

Shutter windows, bar doors.

[scrapgege]

.......... Why?

[downswing]

You are warned of the bear.

[scrapgege]

But a bear isn't scary?

[downswing]

This one gives unyielding chase.

[scrapgege]

I'm sure it can be reasonably led away without violence.

[downswing]

Make attempt.

[scrapgege]

I will if I see it.

[downswing]

It is no small creature.
