Facilitator, 1-3 players, a [DICE].

You have come here, to this place, to destroy something beautiful.

TELL ME four things about this place.
(e.g. wretched
above the clouds
hazy, peaceful
full of lures for the unwary.)

TELL ME four things about what you’re destroying.
(e.g. brilliant
elegiac
strange geometries
gonna fuckin take you down with it.)

Write them down. This is all that they are.

TELL ME:
Who are you?
Why have you come here, destroyer?
What has this beautiful thing done, in your eyes, to deserve destruction?
Why are you cruel?

Write these four things down. This is all that you are.

Get up. Stretch. Get snacks. I’ll play the beautiful thing. You’ll play out destroying it.

WHEN BEAUTY RESISTS DESTRUCTION, I roll.

A-B: It destroys something in you. Cross something off your list. Tell me how you’re diminished. If you run out, you’re enthralled.

C-D: It resists. I introduce a complication.

E-F: It cannot resist. Cross something off its list. Tell me how it’s diminished. When it runs out of items, well.

When the beautiful thing is destroyed, tell me: what of you survived intact? Was it worth it?
