Are fairy tales from other worlds game? I'm specifically thinking "Tales of Beadle the Bard" from Harry Potter here.

I'm serious, if those are game, I would love to get involved in one of those like burning.

Also, does damage done over the course of the fairy tale carry over? If a character "dies" fulfilling their role, do they actually die?

ANYWAY! Plotting ideas! Giles, of course, is probably going to be way more suited to the original "Grim" fairy tales of any given world. I'd be up for him being a monster if anyone needs an antagonist! Troll under the bridge, dragon guarding the treasure, evil sorcerer, you name it. Although if there are any fairy tales out there that would let him play the hero, all the better...

If anyone does want to work him into a "traditional" fairy tale, though, I'd also be up for that.

[consultmybooks]

I feel great about that!

Do you mind if I get back to the tag I owe Ginia at the party so she can at least teach him a box step and he can have half a chance? Although it would make it more dramatic underdog triumphing over adept evil sorcerer if he did win the dance battle against Helios.

[shadedsunlight]

Yay!

Sure, no problem. You know I don't mind backtagging on things. And hey, even an underdog needs something up his sleeve after his curbstomping.

[consultmybooks]

And few villagers curbstomp him as well as Helios does.

[lostinmyway]

As is a complete surprise to you, I'm sure, I am totally up for anything involving these two. ♥ I'm in the middle of getting up a round of Sleeping Beauty with other muns, but I sure as hell wouldn't mind doing it a second time--or doing something else entirely. Any ideas?

[consultmybooks]

/GASP You're up for anything? I am utterly surprised!

;)

I wouldn't mind doing Sleeping Beauty a bit. Or...hm...Snow White and the One Dwarf? Or indulge me on my Harry Potter love? Grune could be the Most Easily Passable Bridge Troll Ever? Or something to do with Peter Pan...

That's all I can come up with at the moment, but let me get back to you!

[lostinmyway]

Ooh, Harry Potter! Since Grune regularly harasses Draco, getting involved in that lore would be pretty fun for me! I don't know the Tales of Beedle the Bard (I was gonna buy the book on sale this week, but it was gone last I looked, sigh), but I could easily be enlightened!

[consultmybooks]

Pick a title and I'll tell you a story

1. The Wizard and the Hopping Pot
2. The Fountain of Fair Fortune
3. The Warlock's Hairy Heart
4. Babbity Rabbity and the Cackling Stump

I'm assuming you know the Tale of the Three Brothers.

I think The Fountain of Fair Fortune would be best, although ideally we'd need two extra players. But Giles can be Sir Luckless and Grune can be...hm...Grune can be the one who, at the end, discovers she has a talent for herbs and making medicines to cure her of her poverty. Name escapes me at the moment.

[lostinmyway]

The Fountain of Fair Fortune sounds good to me! What are the other two roles that need to be filled? I'm sure someone out of Grune's CR would be good with stepping in.

(Also, the three brothers reminds me! I was gonna suggest maybe the Trio of Awesome could do one of those stories together--there's a ton of 'em, IIRC. /sticking nose in)

[consultmybooks]

Actually, I was thinking on possibly roping them in on the Tale of the Three Brothers, if that could be coordinated.

Okay. So there's Amata, a woman who was left miserable and destitute by her lover. There's Asha, a woman racked by an incurable diseases. And there's Amity, who lost everything she had in a disaster. There's also Sir Luckless, who is going to try and drink from the fountain just so his lief will be less horrible.

[lostinmyway]

I kind of like the idea of Amity for Grune, actually, not just because of the appropriateness of the name, but "Losing everything in a disaster" actually fits her own canon really well. How does her story turn out?

[consultmybooks]

She eventually uses the herbs that grow around the fountain to cure Asha of her illness, and realizes that she has such a talent for herbs and medicine that she can make her living that way and rebuild her life.

[lostinmyway]

Yeah, I like this one. Now I gotta think on who I can ask for the other roles. Hmm....

[consultmybooks]

Amata and Sir Luckless do eventually wind up hitched, btw. Just something to consider~.

[consultmybooks]

OKAY, I just had a horrible idea.

Up for seeing if Grell would like to be in on the fun as Amata?

[lostinmyway]

...I was really tempted to switch Grune to Amata, because Dhaos totally needs another reason to hate Giles, but this? This makes me weep with beauty. Please make it so.
