I'm En-Titled! Leopard's Name: Kalepa (to stumble)
Her Clan: Kaskazi
Word for her title: Manager
Game Concept: IC - Kalepa cleared her throat and looked out at the faces that stared eagerly back at hers. She smiled in a rush of excitement. This was the first time that they would be playing a game that she herself had designed. It had been a great honor to help with the festivities even if she, herself, was not of the Mrao clan. She had spent many nights tossing and turning trying to think of it. Being from the Kaskazi clan did not help with the thinking process. She was much more suited to planning things during the hot, dry season. Yet the challenge of it had been fun.
"Sikukuu members! I present to you a new game called 'The Stones of Storytelling'!" This was the moment. Surely they were all wondering what that huge pile of stones next her was for. Well, they were an important part of the game.
"Please take one stone each!" She waited till every participant had taken a stone for the game. After everyone settled down, she began to explain the rest of the rules. There seemed to be some that were confused and some that were really excited. She just hoped that it would be successful.
As soon as everyone figured out what to do and stood in the two lines, she went on to tell the story. In a clear voice that cut across to all the members, she spoke,
"Little Ianus loved all of the seasons.
He loved winter because the snow would fall
down from the sky to blanket the earth in white. It was always fun for him to run
across packed snow, leaving his paw prints behind him.
He loved spring because it brought with it life pushing
up from the ground. It was always fun for him to watch the forest blossom with bright colors before the sun set in the
west.
He loved summer because the hot sun would slow it's travel
over the land to dry it. It was always fun for him to sun bathe on his favorite rock
down by the river.
He loved fall because then the leaves would turn orange and red in the forest before falling
down. It was always fun for him to roll
over on the ground in the big piles they
left.
Yes, little Ianus was one to celebrate all of the seasons.
We all give thanks to winter that brings the snow falling
down from the sky, to spring and the brings blossoms
up from the ground, to summer that brings the sun
over our land, and to fall that brings a an end to it all at the
right moment. The end."
It was a short story but that was the point. Kalepa never wanted it to be a long game. She figured that it took long enough to push one's rock to someone else. Everyone seemed ready to hear who the winners were as they looked at the number they received at the end of the game.

OOC - The Stones of Storytelling is a game where a story is told and stones are passed around. Each stone has a number carved into it. Every member that participates in the game picks one stone. Then they make two lines facing each other with an equal amount in each line. There must be an equal amount of members in this game for it to really work IC. Any member is free to participate whether they are young or old. The order that each member posts in will determine which number they get on their stone. The first poster gets stone 1, second poster gets stone 2, etc.
Example of how they look in the lines:
1
xxx 2
xxx 3
xxx 4
xxx 5
6
xxx 7
xxx 8
xxx 9
xxx 10
The one running the game is known as the storyteller. They will tell a story that dictates where the stones go. The story will always be something that has to do with something involving the seasons.
In the story there will be key words that involves passing the stone a certain way.
Right or Up or East: You pass the stone to the animal right of you.
Left or Down or West: You pass the stone to the animal left of you.
Across or Over: You pass the stone to the animal across from you.
By the end of the story, each member will end up with a stone completely different from the one they got.
The storyteller will generate 3 random numbers from the amount of members that participated. The members that hold the numbered stones win a prize.
