SCENARIO ONE: LIGHT UP THE NIGHT




The ship has stopped on Arion, near the settlement of Taunican, at the height of harvest season, and since the planet is largely agricultural, that means there is a big harvest festival a-happening.

What's neat about this festival is that it's not just a celebration of the harvest - it's a celebration of the community, and of the planet as a whole. The dominant local religion (for lack of a better term) isn't exactly experienced in term of worship but of honoring the planet itself - the seasons, the landscapes, the crops. Natives talk of Arion as if it is a living, breathing entity, because for them? Arion is.

Every evening while the ship is docked, there is a bonfire in the fields outside the town square, starting at dusk. There's a giant potluck feast, with everyone in attendance encouraged to bring dishes to share, but no one will be turned away if they arrive empty-handed. Fiddles and flutes and drums provide the soundtrack for the folk songs about Arion the locals sing around the fire; dancing and games and laughter are everywhere. This is a peaceful, joyous celebration, and you're invited!

SCENARIO TWO: WE NEED TO GO DEEPER




You're asleep, but maybe you don't know that - in the middle of a dream, it's not always easy to tell the difference between reality and the scenes your subconscious creates. You find yourself somewhere that may or may not be familiar, doing something that may be mundane or fantastical, but you're not alone. This is a dream you're sharing with your shipmates. What secrets and truths will you learn about each other?

SCENARIO THREE: STOP HITTING YOURSELF




Ope, looks like Navi’s wandered a little too close to an interdimensional rift in space-time, and now things are getting a little weird. If you happen to have superpowers, you may find that you don’t have quite as good of a hold on them as you do normally, or maybe now there are unintended side effects that occur when your powers are used. Maybe your character usually possesses enhanced strength or speed, and now they suddenly find themselves too swol to handle ordinary objects without crushing them, or they may have uncontrollable zooms and be physically unable to slow their roll.

No superpowers? No problem! Non-powered characters may find themselves deprived of one or more of their natural senses, i.e., sight, hearing, smell, taste, etc. Have fun being suddenly and temporarily blind! Walk into walls, eat trash, be free.

This is so much worse. Now Mammon's ear is stuck to Murmur's side, his arms are stuck around his waist, and he kicks for purchase against the ice, unsuccessfully trying to right them both.

"Ya can't turn up the heat?!" he snaps, twisting to press his feet against the wall. "Stop wigglin', let me handle this!" And if possible he's going to kick them both away from the wall, in the general direction of any source of water they can douse themselves with.

"No more than you can stop being a pinball!" He snaps, stretching his wings out to slam them against the walls to try to brace them both and hold Mammon back for a moment.

"Where are you trying to take us?" Because if Mammon were going to continue being enough of an idiot to drag them around he wouldn't doubt the pool might be their destination... which would just stick them both in a block of ice. Granted Murmur could just evacuate his vessel, but then he ran the risk of just straight up obliterating Navi and thus everyone on the ship and he didn't really want to do that.

"Now we both are! Happy?" They're more akin to a hockey puck crossed with a malfunctioning Roomba now. "Quit it and put your wings away!" This would be a lot easier if Murmur just let him navigate!

He wasn't thinking about the pool, not out of concern for them both freezing but because he doesn't want to be any colder than he has to be. If he can just skid them into a bathroom, a hot shower will take care of it.

"In case you forgot, you tackled me." Honestly this is all Mammon's fault it got so sticky, literally, in the first place! Murmur doesn't trust him to navigate, has Mammon seen what trouble he's been getting into?

Of course not. Mammon has the foresight of a brick wall. Eventually Murmur sighed and tucked his wings in, bracing for Mammon to make their lives even worse in the near future. He wasn't going to get rid of them entirely, still needed to try to balance out this chaotic mess of... whatever the hell was going on anymore.

"Yeah, and you're the one who made me stick!" Of course he tackled Murmur, he was laughing at him and no way was Mammon taking that from the angel!

Luckily, Mammon's going to end up getting the brunt of this: he's the one who has no way to protect his face, whereas Murmur can at least duck or brace his legs. A well-placed kick propels them out the doorway and down into the hall, but he aimed them straight forward and now his feet can't get purchase on the fresh ice.

"Push, idiot!"
