Yeah, I'm a gamer *plays solitaire for 5 hours*
You are formally invited to this year's Caraval.
from the pen of Caraval Master Legend
On normal days, mail is just mail. But this is no ordinary day, and this is not just mail. You flip through the mail, bills, bills, junk, and more bills. Oh? What's this? A royal blue envelope stands out from the normal garbage. You break the gold heart wax stamp and pull the cardstock out with ease. The metallic red reflects on the edges as you read. Caraval. You'd always wondered what it would be like to play, but this year, you've gotten your turn. This year's prize is one wish, something you are in great need of. Just as you finish reading the invitation, another piece of paper slides out of the envelope. You flip the small rectangle in your hand, revealing a card from the Deck of Destiny. You're vaguely familiar with the cards, they're often used by fortune tellers, but you're not sure what they have to do with the game. You flip the card over again, the back has the same seal as the wax. With only a few days until your departure, you put the meaning of the card aside and begin to get your affairs together before your trip.
Welcome to Caraval!
If a specific card calls to you, you may pick it. Otherwise all cards will be randomized. I can add more if needed
Any generic CS will do, but make sure to add your character's card, relationship to legend, and their wish.
Cards
1
The Murdered King
Killed by his long lost queen, The Murdered King can be tricky to interpret. The card can represent the ultimate betrayal from a loved one. On the other hand, it can bring back something precious that has been lost. One may chose to look upon the card with caution, or take advantage of the power it holds
2 TAKEN
The Prince of Hearts
The Prince of Hearts represents unrequited love. Cursed to have a fatal kiss to everyone but his true love, the prince only experiences heartbreak. When this card is drawn, the recipient is bound to feel anguish.
