Athena's group (well, just her) after the Rest Break SFH (scene G8). She comes to an untimely but edifying conclusion in this thread.
Scene K1 - Frozen Gallery
- Players at start of scene
- The SFH car that has split off from the others comes to a stop in a station gripped in wintery colors. Sound of a cold wind whistling
- It's sole occupant, Athena, is quite underdressed for the conditions outside and for the first time feels fear.
- The car will go no further, until of course she exits; then it clams up and zips off at high speed.
- Athena is very much alone.
- There is only one exit from the station, leading to a brightly lit, almost luminous room carved from ice. Glacial-blue and white are the dominant colors. There is no one moving in the room, but it *is* occupied.
- Scattered about are a series of fantastic sculptures carved seemingly from living ice.
- The subjects are almost entirely female and *are* entirely nude. They are exquisite!
- While Athena may be scared, she is also awed by the frozen beauty displayed.
- Make this as long as needed, with whatever forshadowing is needed to set up the next scene.
- She hears someone coming, and hides behind one of the icy pillars.
- Players lost (none)
- Players added (none)
Scene K2 - Artist Sculpts a Figure [to be written by Bas]
- Players at start of scene
- NPCs introduced
- The noise resolves itself into a mechanical-looking man, possibly part wheeled robot, which appears from a side-cave
- [Let Bas describe him better but the image of 'Box' from Logan's Run comes to mind]
- Athena wants to turn and run, but for some reason she remains rooted to the spot
- After a flowery speech about his purpose for existing (Fish, Plankton, Sea Greens!),
- he gets around to asking/telling Athena he wants to sculpt her for his gallery too.
- At the merest hint of 'my works of art are never sullied by garments' Athena doffs her bikini and boots
- By now the cold is not bothering her anymore, though the chill air brings her nipples erect
- We've already seen her nude (in the Wax Museum) but some additional description would be welcome; she's luscious!
- Artist poses the adventuress on top of a plinth of ice and brings in another block as raw material
- He begins, wielding a torch-like 'freeze wand' that blows both hot and cold so to speak
- His arms move with frightening speed and vapors fill the cavern
- When the dust clears, the figure of Athena is now entombed in a thick shell of ice from the wand.
- What can be seen of her body is pale bluish-white, obviously frozen solid.
- Her eyes remain open, staring, a look of surprise and horror frozen on her face.
- Artist puts ways the 'raw' block (it is untouched, but now we can see there is someone inside it too) away
- Moves the ice statue of Athena to a well-lighted spot after some (a few seconds = eternity) thought. Her adventure is over.
- Players lost
- Players added (none)
