Once upon a time
Hello everyone! It's time for Curse 26 to hit the bubble--or well, on Sunday it will be. For now, we're going to give you a bit of a head's up so you can make some decisions on what to do this curse week!
We're not going to explain much yet; the full explanation will come on Sunday. But what we will say is that curse 26 will be a fairy tale curse. You will have the chance to pick a role for your character to play within a fairy tale -- big or small, animal or human, silly or serious, it's completely up to you! Folk tales, tall tales, fairy tales... everything is fair game except for one small detail. Your character cannot be royalty. Sorry, guys, no kings, queens, princesses or princes, known or unknown! There's a plot reason for this that will become clear with time, but for now, be creative and pick something else!
To help out with choosing, we compiled a list of internet resources with all sorts of tales on the internet. It can be found here, but feel free to use anything not on that list as well! The more creative everyone is, the better! If you have anything to add to this resource for your fellow players, just let us know.
But of course, with a curse like this some plotting will be necessary; we can't have people all filling the same roles, after all! While it is okay to double up on roles -or triple or more-- the more different roles we have, the more fun it will be. Feel free to use this post to plot and come up with what tales to use together. Your character will be suddenly planted into that role in the story--the natives will all acknowledge them as that role, and they will be wearing that sort of clothing and feel the urge to do that sort of action. That's all, though. For now, anyway.
The roles can be anything from a very specific role within a specific tale to a more general role. Anything goes, as long as it fits within the general fantastical fairy tale theme. For example, Gamzee here, will be a faun. That's about as fantastical as you can get. But there is more: how about a Big Bad Wolf, ready to snatch up anyone who leaves the path, a wicked witch who knows all the spells or perhaps a fairy godmother ready to do some good. Just think big and go for it! If you are not sure about something, you can always ask us.
And one more little bit--for the sake of the plot of the curse, which we are definitely not going to spoil here, we'll need some characters to sign up for a special role. There is one key factor that is important to this sign up, however. The sign up must be in pairs, and the characters must be in love. Think you and another mun have the characters for that? Sign up here and be sure to keep it a secret! There is more information on that post, if you're curious.
Finally, if anyone has any suggestions for quests and the like that would be found in fairy tales, feel free to suggest them; Vatheon entire will be changing into fairy tales, so there will be quests and things (and a dragon, don't worry).
A note: You won't need our permission for whoever you pick! Just about anything goes here; don't worry, we'll let you know if something doesn't work. So go crazy!
If there are any questions or concerns, we'll have a questions thread below! We'll also have a thread for suggestions if you have any. The rest of this post is completely open for plotting. Thanks, everyone, and have fun!

Quest Suggestion!
Since Guy's going to be in a coma, I had planned on making him Sleeping Beauty. And we all know that knights love to rescue those damsels in distress, locked away in their
apartmenttower.So is it possible we could have some crack-induced quest to go find the
tech guyfair maiden and wake him from his slumber?This is crack (I blame Nivi), but I thought I'd give it a shot. :Da

P.S. After this is over, Lloyd may or may not remember where he
kidnappedrescued Guy from. :3ano subject

Re: Quest Suggestion!
even though the two of you have never met but what better way to compile a gripping love story, rightAs long as you're responsible and don't flop him over an armchair or something, I think he should be fine. Treat the sleeping man with respect, you whippersnapper~ :|b

Just as clarification:
1) Guy would not be a princess. Just your lovely damsel under a spell. This spell won't be breaking, but I'm handing out manhandling rights to a couple people who want to "rescue" him.
2) The thread itself I had planned will rely mostly on teaming up and threadjacking to keep itself going, since I won't be able to actively participate. I'll be posting an OOC log to explain things as best as I can before the quest starts - I'm basically just providing a goal for the knightly types, as well as a general location and other things I had in mind. :'D If you'd like me to run this by you beforehand, let me know.

Re: Quest Suggestion!
YAY DAMSEL BROS.
I'll see if I can catch you on AIM tonight and we can figure out where the tower is and what kind of things will be along the way (every good Sleeping Beauty needs a huge expanse of thorny bramble blocking themselves from the world, for example).
I'll be making an OOC post tomorrow morning explaining what I'm planning, and just to explain the threadhopping-nature the quest post will have, due to my hiatus starting on Sunday morning. Hopefully we can still maintain something fun and interactive even with one of the damsels unconscious all week. :|b
