RULES

[imepro]

THE BASICS

Characters playing this game receive a title that isn't theirs, and once they get it they start manifesting characteristics of their brand-new title. It floats tangibly above their head, and is visible to everyone.

Interpret titles however you want, and have fun! XL did a illustrated guide way back when, but basically play it how you want! Powers granted by titles are A-okay for the purposes of this game! For example, if you want to have your character constantly dripping with water because they got the title of "wet blanket", feel free.

TRADING & THEFT

Titles hang in the air, physically existing and able to be traded or stolen. You can yank your title out of the way of being stolen, but people can sneak up on you or team up on your to take it, too! You can trade titles with your own unit as you wish.

You can rearrange your titles, fuse them together, etc! You can break off part of someone else's title to add it to your own!

If your title is stolen and you don't have another one in reserve, please look at this doc and grab an untaken one, and delete it from the list when you're done.

If you are signing up late, dump your title in the extra titles doc, and grab one from that list!

HOW DO I WIN THE GAME

Keep track of all your titles over the course of the game and then, when you're done playing, post the list in the turn in

requiem

[stakesthesame]

Dragon in Distress
Dragon - gave "in distress" to corona
Ice Dragon (On on the side) - took "Ice" from sekhmet, was given "on" by sekhmet
Tyrant Ice Dragon - stole "tyrant" from intensity
Gentry Dragon's Bladed Teeth Ice Oath (nnt left over) - given "the seven-bladed" and "gth" by Doodles, rearranged the fuck out of everything to make this monstrosity

[nohalation]

[Angel is basically in this outfit but it comes with a red nose, squeaky shoes, and a friend maker.

"Killer Clown" is above her head.]

Oh boy! I think we are gonna have a "knife" time today!

[puzzlers]

[ he wants the killer part of her killer clown title, so he's going to attempt to hurl one of his knives through the title, itself, to sever it. ]

I like your friend, [ the knife. ] she's cute.

[avestan]

[has "Problem with Authority" above his head]

Fuck this game. No one's gonna tell me what to do.

[foolmetwice]

[hey I want that title]

Hey.

I'll fight you for your title.

[foolmetwice]

[mars has a sword. he's giving it a once-over, nodding in approval. the words "the seven-bladed sword" hover above his head]

. . . cool.

[foolmetwice]

[after an encounter with Doodle, Mars is now left with the title "mute volleyball enthusiast"]

[this is the quietest he has every been]

[mywife]

[Lying on the ground, arms crossed, pouting much like a "sulky nerd".]

This is not an exciting adventure. It is dull. It is a waste of my lifespan. I would rather be at home reciting poetry to the sun.

[avestan]

Holy shit. Please keep that title forever.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Has "Sparklepire Butterfly Princess" over his head.

And true to form, he's sparkling, and butterflies are materializing from ??? somewhere and landing on him in a veritable locust swarm. Attempts to swat them away just lead to EVEN MORE appearing and landing on him with increasing aggressiveness.

WHY ]

[foolmetwice]

[cracking the motherfuck UP]

[hissterics]

[ Well SHE CAME HERE TO HAVE A GREAT TIME but now she's found herself trapped in a very aggressive staring match with one of the red napkins, tail lashing.

Why does this look delicious.

("Yo Soy Vampire") ]

What the heck...


[ fuck u requiem ]

[puzzlers]

[ lands on the table that's got the napkin she's eyeballing. bristles and plucks a knife out of his feathers. ]

Do you need me to kill it? [ he stabs the napkin. ] Here. It's dead. [ points to her title. ] I want that. [ IT'S SHINY. ]

[nihilmancy]

[This sensitIV is wearing "The Lynchpin" over her head. She doesn't look or act particularly strange, but somehow she seems pretty important? Maybe worth paying attention to.]

Hm. I've never been a public performer before. So everybody is watching me right now?

[nihilmancy]

[After some changing things around, Sekhmet is now an Icy Sylph with blue skin and ice crystals floating around her. Come at her.]

Ah, this feels rather nice.

[holdhandsandsing]

[Fortunately, this "Assassin" has not been hired to kill anyone, so he isn't actually going to be doing any stabs.

Unfortunately, he is still in a near-constant state of "suddenly behind you, carrying a knife".]

[tradesecret]

[ Small girl, big axe uses that large weapon as a preemptive barrier. At least until she sees who it is ]

Oh! Hello, again!

[youpoorthing]

["Dumpster Man" over here was unable to locate an actual dumpster, but that's alright because there's still a nice little trash bin over here in this corner. He's just going to be sitting down on the ground next to his small comrade, leaning against it a little. They are bonding through a comfortable mutual silence. Please do not disturb.]

[rootoflove]

[approaching him with Noblesse Oblige above her head and looking somewhat regal as a result]

Hellebore. Are you all right?

[rollplayinghouse]

[Maki's title reads Consummate Pessimist, and predictably she doesn't look very happy about it.]

Of course I wouldn't get anything interesting.

[foolmetwice]

[sword enthusiast]

[attempts to steal "pessimist" from her]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[When Erika glances at the Mercurial Despot words above her head, she just breaks out into manic giggles.

When she sees someone else nearby, she points at them sharply.]

You. Come here.

['You' might find the words strangely difficult to disobey...?]

[rootoflove]

I think not.

[unfortunately Iris has Noblesse Oblige and apparently is thus noble enough to have some resistance to despots]

[asonoficeandfire]

[where'd that futuristic throne-looking chair come from? no matter, Duality is sitting crosslegged on it, in these clothes, totally occupied with petting the cat in his lap.

oh and he's got "Supreme Leader" floating over his head]

[syckophant]

[ Okay so Eichi with his title of Cat Person came for the cat, stayed for the title!!! His cat ears twitch and he looks over the guy. ]

Nyello~

Your title. That's what I want. Hand it over~

[floriographys]

[ Nya's title reads Noisy Goth and he might just have on makeup that is a little heavier than usual. ]

UGH. THIS GAME SEEMS ANNOYING, BUT AT LEAST IT'S NOT MURDER THIS TIME.

[nihilmancy]

[Sekhmet's is none other than The Lynchpin. Somehow she feels important.]

Oh. You truly are noisy.

[stakesthesame]

[ sporting her usual clothes but an unusual look today-- scaled hands and a long spiny black tail and black bat-like wings, and a pair of horns growing out of her head.

Her title above says Dragon in Distress and honestly yeah she looks pretty distressed, rubbing the scales on her hands as if that'd rid her of them and looking around with a bit of a panic. ]

Here again--?!

[puzzlers]

[ can her title support the weight of a smol crow kid? ]

[ here's to hoping! ]

[ landing atop it yugi looks to the title, to req, and then to the title again. ]

I can help.

[resonantblue]

["The Little Mermaid" hangs over her head, and though she's NOT an actual tiny mermaid flopping on the floor, because that would be hard to play, she's dressed in a long, elegant mermaid skirt with a shimmery shell brassiere that's simply tied around her torso.

she shuffles around, struggling a little with this get up because it turns out the skirt is tighter around the ankles.]

I wonder if I can destroy this outfit... but what would I have left?

[puzzlers]

[ he looks at her title from afar before moving closer. ]

[ the dress.
it's shining, shimmering, splendid.
wait, wrong movie. ]

What if you were just "The Little Maid". [ brandishes a knife. ] I can help. [ the mer part of her title must be what makes her shiny, right, so he wants it. ]

[syckophant]

[ Eichi is here with the title Cat Person, which of fucking course comes with cat ears so now he's got too much on his head. ]

Well...

Wouldn't mew look at cat~ Hahaha!

[syckophant]

[ After a small encounter, Eichi is now glowing gold and is SUPREME PERSON which is probably fine, but he's still scoping out any good titles. ]

[iamverybadass]

[ It has been all of 30 seconds and Talon has already snapped his title into pieces to get rid of the shitty portion, leaving only Little Brother in place over his his head. Of course, this means he is not just a normal little brother. Apparently. The only obvious difference is that he no longer has resting scowl face, so at least he looks approachable now?? ]

What kind of weird game is this...

[resonantblue]

[comes over

paffs the top of his head with a feather duster]

Young master, hold still.

[deicider]

[Cardigan is rocking a baritones-esque look, a sharp suit with military braiding.

Their title is Gambling Addiction.]

I could 'bet' that I can steal your title, but it's not much fun to bet on a sure thing.

[emotionalsupportghost]

[ Shade looks exactly the same except for the Unstoppable Friendship floating above his head.

He slings an arm around their shoulders. :)!! ]

You know you don't have to steal from me.

[liarliarliar]

[B is Affable Thrillseeker and if he could think about it he'd hate it

as is he's instead going to look for something to climb if you're tall it may be you]

[rollplayinghouse]

[Consummate Pessimist]

You're going to hurt yourself.

[Attempts to take 'Thrillseeker' away from him]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[The title Feed the Void probably explains why it looks like he's been painted with a paintbrush dipped in a child's idea of a black hole: a deep, endless inky black, beset with actual stars.]

[Possibly also, it explains why he's munching his way through the flowers on the tables. And the chairs. And probably also through part of your title, if you get close enough for him to grab it.]

[Oops.]

[stakesthesame]

[ nope

puts a hand against his forehead to keep him at arms length but, also, you're one of my things and therefore.

her titles is Dragon at the moment and she's got wings and tail and horns to match. ]

Dang, dude. That hungry?

[justfuckingtryit]

[As Son of Ice and Fire, he may or may not be leaving a little trail of ice in his wake, like the kind of crushed ice that goes into drinks at fancy parties.]

...well.

It's a different flavor of bullshit, at least.

[puzzlers]

[ 'crow of murders' has landed atop the title to inspect it. bristles, a couple of feathers falling to the floor. ]

Do you need both of these? Ice and fire? [ pokes each of them in turn with a knife. ] Can I have one?

[tradesecret]

[ Small girl BIG AXE

Yvette is the same size but her axe is LARGE ]

Oh. You might have to fight me for this one.

[resonantblue]

["the little maid" takes a step back, but lingers]

...if I fight you, I could become "The Little Big Maid."

[artisticliberty]

[fox's title reads Silent Beauty, so aside from the getup and the fact that he suddenly looks like he stepped out of an otome game, he's... not bringing any attention to himself.

because he can't talk, you see.]

[foolmetwice]

[sword enthusiast. thanks to many title thefts]

[. . . . . . . . fox is not a sword but Mars is staring at him a little bit anyway]
