ROLE: Playtime Kitten 🙀

[saturations]

PLAYTIME KITTEN

Today, regardless of wherever Nogiku is, they will soon receive a text message from Riff.

hey. can u come through the arch? i have something for u

They don't really have time to question what arch Riff means as the ground begins to rumble and a steel, blue archway erects before them.

As Nogiku enters through the archway they'll find themselves in what appears to be a small park. Small, grassy slopes seem to stretch endlessly and a few unidentifiable buildings can be scene in the distance. Sitting on a bench under a tree is Riff with their phone in their hand. Without looking up, they send another message.

playtime kitten...ok then

RULES
1. make a choice from the list i give u
2. decide who is receiving what u pick
3. it cant be the same person each week sry
4. cant tell anyone either

After reading the rules, they will find that an image becomes the home screen of their phone and feel something...sticky...appear on their tongue as a temporary tattoo of the same image appears.

Once the brand settles in, Riff looks up from their phone, patiently waiting before there's an awkward shrug and another message.

ill try to help i guess

WEEK ONE

[saturations]

TALK TO RIFF

[saturations]

[riff is seated on the bench and just hanging out.]

1/2

[pura]

[






she starts walking back to the archway]

2/2

[pura]

[and then she comes back

and points at playground kitten .]

Don't call me that.

Are you feeling better?

[saturations]

[there's another text.]

trust me i dont like it any more than u do
dumb name
and ya im fine ig

[they're being careful with their right side still, but regardless.]

pretty sure ur stuck until u make a choice tho

[pura]

... Let me guess, the Prism came up with this, too.

[Frowning, while she takes a better look at her phone now... Can she scratch off the temp tattoo with her teeth, or is it just stuck there.]

So... What's this about, anyway? The person I pick will get what's on the icon?

[saturations]

[they shrug. she cannot, it's stuck there forever now.]

smth like that
you have to pick three people tho
just how it works
u can also pick urself but only once

[pura]

[Wow... This is the second worst thing that's happened to her mouth.

She nods, thinking.]

I see. So if I pick, for example, myself, Clarte and Aymeric de Borel. And then, the knife. We would all get... a knife?

[saturations]

idk
maybe
maybe not
not entirely sure yet

[pura]

Hmm... So I won't actually know until it's delivered. And there's no way to know if it's as dangerous or harmless as the icon makes it out to be, either?

[saturations]

why do u automatically assume itll be bad...

[pura]

[she

looks at their right side pointedly]

[saturations]

that doesnt count
its not the same thing and that was a fluke

[pura]

Call it what you want. But you can't say I don't have a reason to think something weird could happen.

["A fluke," Riff says, on the same week murder proposals open.

She looks at her phone thoughtfully.]

Though speaking of reasons, why can't I tell anyone?

[saturations]

ya ok
i get why ur suspicious
but think of it as a way to help keep the balance
anyway...two reasons
its what the prism asked
and if u did wed have to answer a ton of questions about why we cant do this for everybody
maybe u can tell people in the future but for now its better this way

[pura]

... Alright.

[It makes sense in that way, at least.]

Well... It's not like I have anyone I would want to tell, anyway. [Hmm. Okay. One final question, maybe.] Is this meant to help us somehow?

[saturations]

yes
im not sure what exactly its meant to do
but i believe its helping u
give u a means of changing some things here
altering the prism to suit u better
i wish i knew more but thats what i know so far

[pura]

[...]

Then, I guess we'll discover more together.

[time to plant her ass on the opposite side of the bench to sweatily mess with her phone... for now. :thinking:]

[saturations]

[they nod and then settle down to let her ponder. good luck with your choice, nogiku.]

[pura]

[toddles back here after the confirmation message because i want more riff 🤔]

So... that's it?

[saturations]

[good. they haven't moved, so they look at her curiously before they shrug.]

huh
i guess so
feels pretty anticlimatic doesnt it.

[what the hell.]

[pura]

[slowly nods...]

I... Well, I'm not sure what I expected. Do you know what constitutes as "shortly?"
