Moonspear a little something to make me sweeter

"Perfect!" Alya said as Jarilo appeared on the scene. Whether he answered Wraen's question on the affirmative or not, Alya eagerly plowed on to explain the specifics of the game. "Well, there's not technically any killing if we're going to play with Jar," she said, mostly to Wraen in response to her mumbled question. She addressed them both after that. "Okay, so we need someone to be the princess, someone to be the monster, and someone to be the hero. I'm fine with any of those roles. What do you guys want to be?"

She most often played the princess or the hero, trading off with Lyra when they felt like it. Hydra tended to play the monster, but she'd taken a few turns as hero and princess as well. (She was not a terrific pretend-princess, despite being such a stellar one in real life.)

Alya looked expectantly between her two wolf-dolls, waiting for them to claim their roles. "Once we decide who will be what, the monster takes the princess and hides her away, and then the hero counts to one hundred and then goes after them to fight the monster and rescue the princess."
