Success
Deep superstitions
The puppets […] are constructed of fishbone-buttressed socks, monsters in the form of bubbled kelp, and threateningly shaped driftwood. You kneel behind the booth […].
What are your lines? […] "It's myth – you'll get the hang of it."

Wiki note: Numbers unaccounted for: 1, 34
Airs | Third Paragraph |
---|---|
2-33 | You play […] one of the first Drownies […] the Thespian taking the role of His Complexity and delivering a number of overblown speeches […] a drowned rhapsody rises unbidden in your mind like a bobbing corpse. The Thespian regards you with surprise […]. |
35-66 | The Thespian hangs a drape of black silk over the front of the booth […]. Black on black on black, and entirely wordless […]. Seven minutes; seven minutes; seven minutes more. You […] emerge from the booth to find some of the fishermen crying. |
67-100 | This play recounts the inner lives of the gods of the zee […] Your part is Stone, in the form of a pebble on a stick. […] Salt has gone missing […]. The resulting performance is a limp and incomplete thing, plagued by the hungry absence of a central player. |
