[Game] Get the Cheesecake!

Post by Petunia »

Get the Cheesecake is a creative theft game (a bit like King of the Hill, if you know that, but somewhat different because there’s an item involved). Basically, each person has to try to take the Cheesecake from the previous person, and keep/hide/protect it in a creative way from the next person. Please try to make sure your way to get the Cheesecake relates to how the previous poster was protecting/hiding the Cheesecake, and that you don’t harm the Cheesecake!
Rules about the Cheesecake:
~ The Cheesecake destroys any force fields set up to contain it (ie, keep vaguely period-related).
~ The Cheesecake is not actually edible, although it looks and smells very tasty when we start out.
~ The Cheesecake is not a specific kind of Cheesecake, eg not strawberry or chocolate etc.
~ The Cheesecake is not flammable, corrodible, decayable, or destructible in any way.
~ The Cheesecake is unique; there is only one Cheesecake, and the Cheesecake has no and will not have a trace of DNA.
~ The Cheesecake is what you desire.
~ You are unsure and may not know what the Cheesecake looks like; but you may detect it strongly.
~ The Cheesecake and its rules and physics may possibly change at any time, as decided by me; or possibly it won’t. (Check back to this first post often to see what, if anything, has been changed.)

Cheesecake Discovery Points (CDPs)

CDPs can be earned by:
~ Gaining the Cheesecake.
~ Retaining the Cheesecake when somebody tries to take it from you.
~ Learning something about the Cheesecake - its appearance, physics or mystical secrets.
~ Pleasing the Cheesecake (determined by me, depending on whether you do something that might cause its pleasure).
~ Other special achievement (unspecified, but also determined by me).

Other ways to get CDPs:
~ Include a picture along with your effort to take the Cheesecake.
~ Discovering a hidden Cheesecake power.
~ Being the first to handle a changed Cheesecake (ie being the first to post a move after the Cheesecake has reappeared in a new form).
~ Cheesecake avatar or banner (ie if your avatar or banner is changed to something relating to Cheesecake).
~ Being the person in possession of the Cheesecake at the end of the game.

Winning:
The game has no specific length (it depends on the amount of participation and my determination on whether to continue it or not), but the winner of the game will be the person with the most CDPs when it ends.
The winner will receive a prize of 500 freznics, and of course will also get the warm, fuzzy feeling of being the winner!
(Depending on how many people join in, there may be an additional prize for second (or even third) place, but that’s not definite.)
The game begins

The Cheesecake has appeared out of thin air and sits on a simple wooden table in the centre of Fenia, unguarded and free of being possessed by human or creature.

The Cheesecake is now available to be taken!

Foxeon had been in Fenia for months in search of something. Though he had been by this place time and again, the Cheesecake was new. He approached the table and picked up the Cheesecake. Turning it slowly, he studied it with his water sorcery senses to determine if it was what he was seeking.

It was very quiet around the cheesecake, but then Petunia noticed that Foxeon had picked it up and seemed to be looking it all over and studying it. The cheesecake itself wasn't giving away any secrets, it was just being a cheesecake...though a very desirable one.

In fact, Petunia herself was beginning to feel a yearning to possess it. There didn't seem to be anybody else around just now, so she slowly edged her way towards Foxeon.

Though the Cheesecake was mighty appealing, he didn't believe it was what he sought. Still he tucked it under his arm to take it away to study in secret. Feeling the faint shift in the air as Petunia approached, he bolted away, trying to evade whatever had come to take the Cheesecake from him.

Before she had got very far, Foxeon dashed off. Petunia gave a small, disappointed sigh, wondering if he had sensed her heading towards him.

But although the Cheesecake was now out of sight (and smell), she still felt a bit of a pull from it. And nobody else had seemed to have noticed it yet, so really this ought to be the best time for her to try to possess it.

The problem was, she didn't know where Foxeon was taking the Cheesecake. But perhaps if she followed in the direction he had gone, she might well find him and, more importantly, that exciting Cheesecake. Petunia began walking after the Cheesecake, hoping she'd find it, or at least a clue to where he might have taken it.

In an attempt to evade detection, he ducked into a bakery. He got some odd looks for carrying in something so appealing, so soon rushed out the door and on along the road.

Ella was walking through the town, as she often did, when she noted the sudden appearance of Foxeon dashing out of the bakery. She wouldn't have thought much of it but he seemed to be attempting to evade something or someone. He was carrying a cheesecake in hand. A most delectable sight. Wait. That wasn't just any cheesecake. That was the Cheesecake. Ella was certain of it and she had to get it from him.

"Foxeon!" Ella greeted him in a manner she hoped he would see as friendly. Maybe she could convince him to give it to her or else distract him while she figured out how to take it for herself.

Few knew his name here, so he checked his hurried stride and glanced over his shoulder to see who it was. Seeing who it was, he stopped and turned to face her despite the nagging feeling that he should run and hide with the precious Cheesecake. Returning her smile, he said, "Hello Ella. It's been a while. Did you need something? I'm in a hurry."

"Hurry? What for?" Ella asked as she covertly eyed the Cheesecake. "It's a very nice day. You should be out enjoying the weather..." She was attempting to draw out the conversation whilst thinking of how to get the Cheesecake without him being able to stop her. She also didn't want to offend her relative by stealing it, but equally, she could not suppress the desire to have it.

"Oh what's that you've got there?" The witch asked as if she had just for the first time noticed it. "Cheesecake? It looks delicious. Perhaps you'd like to come back to my place and we can share a slice over some iskirberry wine?" This was probably not the best plan and she knew that. In a spur-of-the-moment decision, Ella reached out to try to take the Cheesecake as if he had already accepted the offer. "Here, let me carry that."

"I have to put this somewhere safe." That said, he tucked the cheesecake a bit more securely under his arm, as if paranoid someone was going to snatch it out of his hands. "I don't think it's for eating..." He said with some hesitantly, not wanting to offend, but not wanting to share it either! "That's not necessary." He twisted to the side as he declined and she reached, but the Cheesecake slipped and fell to the ground.

It's a race to get it first?
