Game 2 Outline |
But not like any mirror you've seen before. It has a liquid sheen to it, almost like mercury's been persuaded to hang in a vertical sheet. It seems to be in a simple bamboo frame, adorned with various occult (and quite gruesome, in some cases) talismen. This seems to be surrounded by a circle of chalk, around which large dribbly candles are burning- with a purple flame! They give an eerie feel to the scene.
Carla turns and mock-bows. "Tadaa! This be my masterpiece!" Her exuberance is severly dented when you look from her to it in twin incomprehension. Fred ventures "You want us to model something for you?" Carla goes into a sulk, her head in her hands and muttering in a foreign language. Eventuall she sighs, and looks up at you.
"This be the end of years o' my time, boys. Be a little impressed." An ironic smile twists her mouth. "This be an enchanted mirror. With a simple spell that I be having cooked up, I can use it to change a person's shape. For real, not just their image, but their shape."
You pause a second, then voice a problem. "Can't you do that already? I got turned into a hippo-morph."
Carla actually growls before getting control of herself. "That be exceptionally dangerous, and you be having no real control. This," she waves at the get-up again, "Can change you from anything, to anything. Even if it just be how you look." Her grin returns, and her voice fades to a conspiratual whisper. "All it really be needing is the idea in your head and some lines drawn on the glass with my chalk. The rest is to impress credulous idiots."
"And you're going to use us as guinea pigs. Oh great." Fred has reverted to sarcasm.
"Guinea pigs? That can be arranged, darlin'." Carla snaps back menacingly. He cringes back, and she turns to you. "Now, if there be anything about yourself that you want changing, just tell ol' Carla, an' she'll be fixing it up for you. Free of charge!" She smiles another wild, fiery smile, and you find yourself grinning back. Is this for real? Well, you don't have much choice, so you might as well get something out of it. Anything you want? You rack your brains. What should you ask for?
