This is the show almost every wannabe wrestler dreams of being on, and the first one that will come to mind for most people when the topic of professional wrestling comes up. They’ve ruled the industry for decades, but some questionable business decisions and a struggle to keep up with the changing times has made room for some other promotions to start gaining momentum
Penelope in particular has had her dance card pretty full since the night started, but I can see they way she keeps stealing glances at Parker from across the ballroom. I know they want to dance together, but neither of them will make a move, for fear of Giselle or Wallace and Courtney’s reaction.
I put some space between us to catch my breath, but you’re barely breaking a sweat. Throw. On heads, you take advantage of my winded state to continue your attack and gain two tokens.
You will start weaving a tapestry from the top left corner of your grid. Turn over this card and refer to the Reflections section of this guide for its meaning. In your notebook, write about what you see from your tower and how you are weaving it into your tapestry. Think about how what you see makes you feel and what you would do if you could be a part of it.

He is smiling, looking at the girl The title "SPIKES, DICE, & OTHER VARIABLES" is prominently featured at the top in bold, yellow lettering. Below this, "Harper Kinsley" appears in the bottom left corner.
Some rivalries play out just as much outside the ring as inside of it. In this segment, one of you jumps another backstage, starting a fight that takes place throughout the hallways, parking lots, and back rooms of the venue.
Now in her early 20s and considered a fully grown adult, this is the first time that Giselle is hosting an event solo, without the oversight of her stepmother, Courtney Pearlshire. Thankfully, all the preparations seem to have taken place before I took over this body, so all I have to do is approve some flower placements.
Ms. Claudia Brownmoore (she/her) is a merchant with a feared reputation. While nothing has ever been proven, it has long been rumoured that she has criminal connections, and she has done little to dispel such gossip. She starts the game off feigning affection for Giselle, as the two of them often do business together, but she falls in love with Penelope at first sight and eventually helps get Giselle out of the picture so that Penelope can take her place. She has an outgoing personality. Claudia has tan skin, fox-like ears and tail, long red hair, and green eyes.
A Gimmick is the overall theme of your Persona. It is the exaggerated archetype that ties together all other aspects of your character. It can be as commonplace as drawing on the character’s cultural origin, or as out there as playing an alien or a superhero.
I am taking tea in my garden today with a group of other noble ladies from the areas around Rosewood. Penelope is just returning for a ride as we are dining, and I call out to her to come and join us at the table once she finishes washing up. The other ladies all look at me in confusion
Despite how dangerous the forest can be, it is also one of the best places to get plants that are harder to grow in the greenhouses, so Giselle has been braving it for years. Penelope, always eager for a chance to go riding, insists on accompanying me during the trip, with our guards a slight ways back for protection.
“We’re the same age.” Penelope confirms my suspicion. “I don’t know why Mother and Wallce insist on claiming I’m still a teenager. I guess they didn’t want us competing in society, maybe?” I roll my eyes. “If that was the goal, it clearly didn’t work.”
She wants me to heal her. As much as I am annoyed about my disrupted sleep, I don’t have the heart to turn her away. I help her up to the bed and tell her to sit tight while I gather my supplies. When I return, I take off the old dressings and begin to clean the wound.
“Miss Pearlshire,” he bows. “I don’t suppose you’d honour me with the first spot on your dance card tonight?” I can see Penelope hesitating as Wallace prepares to object, but I jump in before he gets the chance. “It would be terribly rude to deny the host a dance if he requests one, Penelope.”

Cutting A Promo This segment is a battle of words. Two wrestlers meet in the ring and attempt to outwit each other to gain the favour of the crowd
“No, it clearly didn’t.” she agrees. “But you have been friendlier, or late.” “I guess I just realized I was taking my resentment out on the wrong person. You didn’t ask for this life.” It’s the same reason I gave at the tea party, but without the tacked on excuse. “Well, I am very much enjoying you allowing me to be your friend, finally.” Penelope smiles. “And in the name of friendship, can we agree to keep my little outburst between us?”
With my push, Penelope accepts Parker’s offer and Wallace is forced into silende to not embarass himself. As the music starts up Penelope and Parker take to the floor, and I suggest to Harley that we should join them. I only have a few days left to convinced them not to trick me into losing my title so they can chase Penelope instead, so I am hoping that the combination of seeing her with Parker and my efforts to charm them will pay off.
He has been in love with Penelope for years, and the feelings seem to be reciprocated, but Wallace and Courtney have much higher aspirations for a match for Penelope and have forbidden the pair of them from courting.
I cut him off. “What my parents don’t know, won’t hurt anyone.” I gesture around the room, showing Wallace and Courtney aren’t anywhere in sight. Parker seems skeptical, at first, like he is expecting this to be a set up. I can’t blame him for that, given how Giselle normally treats him. I can’t bring myself to do the same, though. I’d rather try to help push the two of them together one more time.

I open my eyes and confirm what my other senses had already expected: this is definitely not my hospital bed
Penelope has some very conflicted feelings about it. She rides ahead to exit the conversation, and I lose 1 heart with her.
Giselle has been shirking her duties at the Rose Duchess for far too long, having become obsessed with her one sided feud with Penelope. She has not been representing herself as a noblewoman well, and has failed to respond to the Crown’s request for aid from her herbalism practice one too many times. She is captured, striped her title, and left to face her punishment as Penelope is appointed the new Rose Duchess in her place.
“I hear your ball was quite the success, Your Grace.” She says, giving me a devilish grin. “I hope it hasn’t kept you so busy that you haven’t had time for anything else.”

The object of the game is to create messy entanglements and storylines, both in and out of your wrestling persona. Build alliances, break them, have intense rivalries, chase pro-wrestling glory, and play with the lines between persona and performer.
Each player will be creating two aspects of their character: the Persona and the Performer. The Persona is how your character is presented on camera and in the wrestling ring. The Performer is who they are in their life off camera.

If the attacker has as many or more coins that you, choose one of the following: We are separated by event officials/security. We’ll have to pick this up another time. My allies join the brawl, giving me a chance to recover. You’ve driven me to a dead end and have me cornered. Your allies have joined the fight, preventing my escape.
