The Princess Deserves To Have Fun Sometimes - Tumblr Posts

I’ve invented a new line of princesses: The Character, followed by The Jester. This occurs essentially if you play up the linear storyline nature of the situation, acknowledging that you’ve both been placed into roles and having a little fun with it. The Character’s counterpart is The Voice of the Dramatic. And yes, The Jester has broken her chain. She has deus ex machina power. She’s ascended to the level of plot device. You should be afraid.

id est, I made a Shakespearean/theatre path.

Transcript of the description in the top left (the storyline, how you get here, a few details, etc) is below the cut, in case that makes it easier to read. I didn’t make any edits.

The Voice of the Dramatic | The Character | The Jester |

Ch1 You do a lot of talking and a lot of messing around, overly dramatic, picking some funnier options. You’re witty and she responds positively to it, albeit a bit confused. It ends up a little Shakespearean in nature and you kill each other mutually, as a very strange compromise.

Ch2 The Dramatic is way too excited for this. He’s absolutely Shakespearean in wit and he’s leaping at the chance to go banter with this princess. Princess is acting rather like she’s in a play— y’know, like an actor? Doing a character? This is the most playful chapter of all of them, just having a jolly good time. You free her in character, then she tricks you in character and kills you in character and… you die in character. Whoops.

Ch3 We get the Cheated, because hey, we were having FUN here, and you KILLED us, that’s kind of RUDE. The princess/jester is wearing a silly hat but also has WAAAY too much power. She plays games with you for your life. She makes tons of jokes. It’s still funny, Dramatic is still highly amused and having fun, but… it’s also way scary now. The basement looks like a royal court, but in a stage kind of way?
