Searching for Story Players

[repetitus]

*For quite some time now, Great Aunt Repetitus has been watching and taking in the culture of the Mansion, figuring out how best she can fit into it. But she is, after all, a Storyteller, and every Storyteller must have Story Players.

So now there are signs up all over the Mansion, saying:

To the inhabitants of the Mansion

Miranda comes at once to inquire. "What mean you by a storyteller, lady?" she asks, curious, but eager.

[repetitus]

*Repetitius looks over the girl. Perfect ingenue, though perhaps a little young.* One who creates new stories and puts new words to the old. One who tells of worlds beyond the limits of their listeners' imaginations, emotions beyond the limits of the listeners' capacity to feel. *she gives Miranda a thin smile* But every Storyteller must have Story Players.

"O!" She doesn't quite get it.

[repetitus]

*That much is obvious, but Repetitus doesn't mind in the least* Who would you happen to be, girl?

[Typist: All right! At the beginning of This Is Where We Came In, there are three Storytellers, and about half a dozen Story Players. The Storytellers are, in effect, the rulers of the Story Players.

In This Is Where We Came In, being a Story Player means you're something like an actor - when one of the Storytellers narrates, the Story Players each are given roles and together act out the stories that the Storytellers tell. Because, in This Is Where We Came In, the Storytellers have complete control over the Story Players, who don't really have any choice in whether they want to act out the stories, sometimes the Storytellers make bad thigns happen in the stories to those they're angry at, who will actually experience those things.

Obviously, in the Mansion, Repetitus won't really be able to have that much control over those she chooses as Story Players, but I imagine that she's certainly going to try.]

Baldr likes the idea of telling stories, and so Repetitus may find the god appearing in front of her at some stage, "Heil, Dama. I wish to help." He smiles brightly at her.
