It is what many people would consider to be a nice, normal, sunny day in Degolburg. The latest hero's statue's feet is being used to knock down its predecessor's, wailing and KABOOM is clearly audible from the Gardens, the stocks are a riot, and the smell of newbie blood is fresh and pungent on the fields. The warriors' pockets are jangling, full of ill-gotten gold from innocent critters that habitate the forest. Violet's latest reject is curled up in the pavement, looking suicidally depressed; the sun illuminates his tears, along with the worn buildings, the DK marks clawed into various trees, the muddy puddles trodden into by newly-bought mounts trailing reluctantly out of the stables after their new owners.
Everything, as usual, is beautiful. Doesn't everyone want a piece of beauty? What is more enjoyable than capturing it?
That's exactly what those strange looking people hiding behind the Trade Store are looking to do. They also own these strange metal abominations; some people may have read about them in books.
We call them "Cameras" and they are pretty similar to paint and paintbrush, only the wielder doesn't have to paint! They have tiny little men hidden inside them that paint at an impossibly fast rate, painting lots and lots of pictures of what they see; when the person using the "Camera" is finished, they can press a few pieces on the side that stick out and make clicky noises when you press them, and then the little men will put all the pictures into a box that can be circular or cuboid-shaped. This is called a "Tape" When put into another magic box we call a "Video Player", the next step begins! You see, the "Video Player" is not unlike a dock; here, the little men jump out of the box into the "Video Player" with their pictures, and run up a long tube-like object into another box we call a "Television", or a "Projector" (this needs a large blank vertical surface too, though). Here, the pictures are shown a puppet of the Green Dragon herself; however, this puppet is so lifelike that it scares the pictures into moving and talking, which is what we see on the "Television" or the "Projector"!
By the way, that weird guy is pointing his "Camera" at you. Today, you sense, is not a good day for the magic little men; the book says they may shoot fire if provoked. Ducking would be a good idea.
Anyone can play the cameramen. Feel free to take the space up.
