You hate Eloise telling you what to do, but Gil's turned right around, and Horse Face has, and that leaves you little choice. They're all looking at your tent, anyways. You look. Yup, definitely your tent.
"Great! Love it. You folks are naturals. Now, please shut your eyes, <span class="mu-i">keep</span> them shut until I say so, and keep that image of that tent in your head. Or of your tent, if you want. Any tent. The imaginary ideal of tent. Tent it on up, if you will, with your eyes <span class="mu-i">closed.</span>"
You close one eye. The good eye. Close enough, right? You keep the bad one cracked as you turn back around— the image is blurred, so you can't be sure you see what you see. But you think that's Eloise, holding a rectangle of something clear up to her eyes— a rectangle of glass? Real glass? And the tent-area, the whole cubic area, is shifting. It's shimmering.
You could probably do this, if you had the equipment. You're good at imagining things. You're good at telling reality what to do. You're a little put out that Eloise has taken charge of it all, even if it is supposedly her "job." This isn't to say you'll interfere, or anything.
...Just, you know, that you could. If you wanted to. You're good enough.
>[1] Resist temptation. Let the tent-making carry on as planned.
>>[A] Participate with the crowd like a good citizen.
>> Sulk.
>[2] So, what, so Gil's getting a "standard" tent? He deserves more than a dumb standard tent. He's your best retainer. Sneak your own (way better) ideas in there.
>>[A] Don't do very much. Just mark your territory, so Eloise knows she's not the only one with reality-type influences in town. Put a beetle symbol above the door. [Easy roll.]
>> What's he going to have in there? A cot? No other furniture? Come on. Make sure it at least has a desk and a bookshelf and a chair and some nice stuff like that. [Roll.]
>>[C] This is your chance to make Gil very happy. You have to take that, right? To make him happy? Try to warp the inside of the tent so it's exactly how he'd want it, furniture and decorations and layout and all. [Harder roll.]
>>[D] Write-in.
>[3] Write-in.
